Oh, I think there are a number of unique and very difficult challenges in doing a live TV version. For one thing, the performer has to be constantly conscious of which camera he's playing to, and, depending on the direction of the show, he may even modulate his performance for the bits when he's in closeup and play out bigger for the long shots.

It's also surely a challenge to play light comedy without an audience: the actor has constantly to be reminding himself that the laughs are out there somewhere, just not anywhere in earshot.

Legit, do those honestly seem like "challenges" that this young man would be keen to undertake?

Well, no, not offhand, at least not while playing Peter Pan. I could imagine Radcliffe doing a live TV version of a different musical or of a straight play he found challenging.

My point, though, was that live TV is quite a different experience for the performer from live theater, not that the different challenges would be particularly attractive to any given performer.
