I could be 100 years old and in my rocker, but I'll still be very proud that I was part of the 'Harry Potter' films.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was 40 when I did my first movie.
I was 28 when I played the role of a 65 year old man in my first film.
I hope to be still acting when I'm 70 on TV, film and theatre.
When I first started acting I was about nine years old. I had never been to audition in my life and my agent sent me out. It was just a commercial for 'Harry Potter.' That was the first thing I ever went out for and I got the 'Harry Potter' commercial which was really cool, but I didn't play Harry Potter.
I've basically grown up with Harry Potter, as so many kids my age have. It's kind of a part of my life.
Before my son was born, I use to tell people that I was looking forward to no longer being the star of my own movie; then Harry came along, and it was like, 'Whoa, I'm really not!'
I'm not too proud of the movies I made as a grownup except for 'That Hagen Girl', which nobody remembers but which gave me a chance to act.
It wasn't until I'd turned 50 and had been in the business 25 years that I realized I might actually have a career as an actor.
And of course I've got kids of my own now, and they love me being in the Harry Potter films. I'm now part of a phenomenon. You become incredibly cool to your kids, and you get a young fan base. So you became the cool dad at school. You're suddenly hip.
If I die on a film set when I'm 80, I'll be happy with that.
