| I agree with Mikem. I believe Radcliffe does theater that interests him, and that winning awards isn't what motivates him. Also, Charlie Kringas isn't an especially award-baity role. I can't think of any actor who's been nominated for a notable award for that role. Malcolm Gets got a 1995 Drama Desk nomination and Daniel Evans won a 2001 Olivier Award, but those were for playing Franklin Shepard. Anyway, to get back to Radcliffe, back in 2011, he was passed over for a Tony nomination for starring in ''How to Succeed.'' His reaction? He said he was flattered to be thought of in the same class as that season's nominated actors, which included Norbert Leo Butz, Josh Gad and Andrew Rannells. However, Radcliffe added: ''The thing that shocked me was everybody else’s reaction to me, and how they started treating me — because it was like I lost a relative. In my opinion, it was sweet, but over the top. People would ask me, ‘Are you OK?’ And I’d go, ‘I’m really OK!’ ''I think I speak for 99% of actors when I say that the reason we do this job, while it’s lovely to get recognized by your peers, it’s not the reason why we do it. The people that do this job for awards and recognition are kind of worshiping at the wrong altar.'' (For the record, Radcliffe has 3 Drama Desk nominations: for ''Equus,'' ''How to Succeed'' and ''The Cripple of Inishmaan.'') |
