Dan Radcliffe to star in drama TV show in UK with Jon Hamm

by Keith Hawk · May 2, 2012

Daniel Radcliffe – known for his title role in the Harry Potter series – recently completed filming the soon-to-be-released film Kill Your Darlings in New York City. Next up for Dan is a role in a four-part drama to be broadcast on the Sky Arts channel in the UK alongside Jon Hamm.

Jon Hamm is well-known for his role as Don Draper in the 60’s advertising show Mad Men, of which Dan is a huge fan. However, on this new drama show, Jon will be portraying one of the medical professionals in his later years as the show follows a group of Russian doctors after World War I. Dan will be playing the role of a younger version of the same character.

Jon Hamm will reportedly narrate the series, which is believed to contain some dark humor and will be seen interacting with Dan in some of the episodes.

What are your thoughts on Dan taking on all of these period pieces such as My Boy Jack, Kill Your Darlings, and The Woman in Black? Is he limiting himself to these types of roles in your opinion? Let us know in the comments below.

It’s high time I paid homage to the mighty MuggleNet. Where to start? I love the design, (I currently favour the ‘Dementor’ layout), the polls (I actually voted in the ‘Who’s the Half-Blood Prince?’ one), the pretty-much-exhaustive information on all books and films, the wonderful editorials (more insight there than in several companion volumes I shall not name), 101 Ways to Annoy Lord Voldemort (made me laugh aloud), the Wall of Shame (nearly as funny as some of the stuff I get)… pretty much everything. Webmaster Emerson, Eric, Jamie, Damon, Ben, Matthew, Rachel, Jaymz and Sharon, I salute you.
