Ain't It Cool News interview

Ain't It Cool News interviewed Daniel in promotion of Escape from Pretoria. Read it at aintitcool.com. 

I want to talk a little about the film and your career in general.  I find it endlessly fascinating that after coming up as a child actor in a major franchise, you’ve made the seemingly deliberate move into quirkier or offbeat work like Equus and Swiss Army Man, and now, Escape from Pretoria.  Can you tell me a little bit about that transition?
You know, it’s mostly just inspired by the fact that I’m in a position to do things that I like.  I mean, at first there was a feeling coming out of Potter…there was definitely a certain amount of feeling that I had to prove that I could do lots of different things.  That led to me always knowing that I wanted to have a wide variety in my work if that was possible.  And I think a lot of my journey after Potter has been me finding out what I’m good at and what I like.  And it makes me really happy to do it, and I’m in the position to simply base my career around the things that make me happy to do, and I balance that with a pathological need to be working at all times, but I am getting better at not just doing things because I have the time, but picking the things that I love and that I know I’m going to love doing.
