BBC Playback: David Copperfield
Maggie Smith has died aged 89
Maggie Smith, well known for her role as Professor McGonagall in Harry Potter, has died. She also had a role together with Daniel in the BBC series David Copperfield. She was the one who after Davis Copperfield in 1999 recommended him for the role as Harry. She died peacefully at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London her sons confirmed in a statement to the BBC.
Daniel has paid tribute to the actress (source: variety).
"The first time I met Maggie Smith I was 9 years old and we were reading through scenes for David Copperfield, which was my first job. I knew virtually nothing about her other than that my parents were awestruck at the fact that I would be working with her. The other thing I knew about her was that she was a Dame, so the first thing I asked her when we met was “would you like me to call you Dame?” at which she laughed and said something to the effect of 'don’t be ridiculous'!. I remember feeling nervous to meet her and then her putting me immediately at ease. She was incredibly kind to me on that shoot, and then I was lucky enough to go on working with her for another 10 years on the Harry Potter films.

Google+: "I was playfully getting what I deserved"
I thought it would be a good idea to share the unseen photos from Daniel's Google+ also here on the website, also since he announced he will be doing that "every so often"
A new one has been shared online, taken on the set of David Copperfield (1999)
Throwback Thursday: "So I'm going to post a previously unseen photo from my life here every so often. This is an example that could look like child cruelty but was actually one of the funniest memories from my first job! On David Copperfield when I was 10, I had been running round one day during the summer spraying various crew members with a water pistol I had, unwisely, been given. This is a photo of me playfully getting what I deserved..." -Dan

Back then this site didn't excist. I decided to add 'archive news' like this as much as possible. I thought it might be interesting to read for you all.
Dan, you just recently had a birthday...
Yes, I turned 12 in July (of 2001). We were on holiday at the time; we were in Spain. I opened all my cards and presents... well, most of my presents, before I went on holiday, so I had a chance to play with them a bit ... but I opened cards and things there and it was really, really fun.
Did you have a birthday cake?
I'm not much of a cake person.
Have you always wanted to be an actor?
Well, I haven't really decided what I want to be yet... I'm definitely very interested in it, but there are a number of other things I'm very interested in as well -- music, writing... scripts and things, but especially autism which I want to go to the university maybe, and study.
