Sir Sean Connery praises Daniel Radcliffe on typecasting issue

The original James Bond actor, Sir Sean Connery, has praised Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe on how the fellow thespian is dealing with the potential issue of being typecast. Both actors are known best for the role that first made them famous.

In a new AP interview, they ask Radcliffe, "did any former child stars, or people who have made the transition from doing iconic roles to having diverse careers give you advice about how to avoid being typecast?"

Radcliffe said: "Not particularly, but I did hear the other day from a friend of mine who is friends with Sean Connery and apparently Sean Connery asked him to pass along to me how well he thought I was doing and how well I seem to be handling everything and making good choices. For me, that was great because he is a great actor. He had this amazing start to his career in Bond and managed to create a fantastic career for himself outside that, so to hear that from him was very flattering."
