actor. I think Grint is great in all the movies; in fact, he is the
actor I most look forward to seeing. Of the three principals, he is
usually the most criticized, but I think that is because of the way he
has been utilized in the movies and what he has been asked to play,
which is the "everyman" and perhaps the "loser." Although Grint
receives less fan attention and adoration than Radcliffe and Watson,
it doesn't seem to bother him. <snip> Moreover, of the three
principals, he is the most natural actor, the least mannered and self
conscious. <snip> And if you see him in Driving Lessons, you might
agree  that he effortlessly inhabits the role of Ben. While he won't
be taken more seriously until he plays more dramatic, possibly violent
roles, Grint, I think, is a joy to watch. And when you compare his
early characterizations in the Potter movies--where it seems that they
asked for a more slapsticky performance--to his more somber
performance in OOTP, you will see an actor with an impressive range.

Carol responds:

I agree completely. I loved him as Ben in "Driving Lessons." He's a
natural. BTW, you may find what you're looking for in his upcoming
film, "Cherry Bomb" (2009):

"Cherry Bomb follows teenagers Luke, Malachy [Rupert], and Michelle as
they embark on a wild weekend of drink, drugs, shop-lifting and
stealing cars. But what starts out as a game turns deadly serious when
the three discover that they can't get off the wild ride they've set
in motion."

Carol, not sure that she wants to see "Cherry Bomb" but wishing Rupert
well as a gifted actor and (from what I've read) a lovely person
