Radcliffe wants to be known for his acting

Los Angeles: Hollywood actor and Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe wants to be known for his acting performances.

The 20-year-old actor admits he enjoyed the Potter ride and says he would love to be recognised for his acting ability and wants to become a "working actor", reported femalefirst.com.

"It's bizarre. Most working actors want to become stars. I am sort of a star because of Harry Potter, and I would love to become a working actor," Radcliffe said.

"But to be honest, I'm happy to ride this as long as it goes. If it goes for two months after Potter, I'm happy. If it goes for six years, I'm happy. It's a tough industry and I've got a lot of friends in it. And I truly believe that if I don't make it as an actor, I will make it another way - I don't have doubts about myself," he added.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows has been split into two movies which will be released in November 2010 and in the summer of 2011.
