The first pictures
of Daniel Radcliffe from his upcoming film My Boy Jack have appeared on the web. The television movie will air later this year on ITV in the UK and U.S. public television station PBS has bought the rights to air the movie via it's Masterpiece Theatre series.
The movie synopsis:
The true story looks at how Rudyard Kipling used his influence to get his 17-year-old son Jack (played by Radcliffe) a commission with the Irish Guards, despite his son's poor eyesight.
Jack went missing in action during the Battle of Loos and his mother and father carried out an ardent search for him, spanning many years and many miles of soul-destroying discovery.
UPDATE: Thanks to HPT for letting us know that you can see additional pictures from the set of the movie here.

Haha, he looks rather like Hitler in that! But there we go, I bet he'll still be awesome, looking like Hitler or not, I'm so glad to see him really broadening his horizons with what he's doing. Plus, despite looking rather Hitler-ish, he still looks good!

;;THe GReaT eSCaPe, no offence but that's the point, he is an actor, and a very good one, so he looks very different in each different role he plays.
Acting is not about looking handsome, it's about looking like the person you are playing and acting the part.
Although I think he looks very hot in that Irish Guards uniform.
Also, it's funny how people see an uniform and a moustache and they think about Hitler. If you actually look at a picture of Hitler, he looks nothing like him. Hitlet moustache was a little square thing under his nose, his hair was totally shaved in both sides of his head, and his uniform and face were totally different.
Dan looks like British soldiers looked during WWI, it was fashion those days to look like that.
I find it quite ignorant some people mix WWI and WWII.

Wow...the costumes look amazing for that show. He is really trying to broaden his horizons to prove that he is more than "just Harry" and it seems he's doing a great job.

Wow! Daniel looks so grow up! He looks like a fine Irish officer in the military. I must watch for this movie on Masterpiece Theatre. I love that series. He will make it all the more enjoyable to watch. Daniel will have no trouble finding work after the HP series is over.

I'm really looking forward to this one! It's wonderful to see Dan having so many opportunities beyond the Harry Potter films even before the series is over.

Wow, holy moly. It's pretty, well, interesting, to see Dan in uniform.. and approaching a more dramatic role. Well, dramatic in a different way, I should say. Lets hope he lives up to the challenge. :)

Dan Radcliffe is a great actor, he could play almost every role. Any role! He will be fantastic, I'm sure of that... not that being fantastic is the point of these roles, but you know what I mean.
Being blatently Slytherin- ish,

He certainly looks different from playing Harry. Good for him for playing a different role in a completely different movie.

Wow, he looks so much older. He looks so little in Harry Potter compared to this. Wow. Really extending the roles. He will be a blast to watch in all of his movies to come.
