bwayboi4life42, it seems like you just don't want to give him a chance. DHP is famous for playing an icon role too, Dr. Niles Crane, but you don't feel the need to point out how he will always be remembered for that.
There is always one role for which an actor is most remembered, that doesn't mean once you enter the theater and watch a different show you will totally believe he is this other person, which is what happened with Equus.
You don't even have to see him acting to see Radcliffe would be perfect to do comedy, just watch his interviews. Or his episode in Extras, or the last HP film...
I don't think anyone was really trying to say he is a veteran, you all blew that comment out of proportion. But I don't think you should understimate that whole HP experience. This boy has spent more than 10 years in a film set, seeing some of the most amazing British actors working, that has to be the best acting school in the world. And not only acting, I wouldn't be surprised if one day he starts to direct, write or produce films or plays.
About the age, for what I've read he will be filming the last HP film until year year, so by the time they do this he will be older. Plus, a younger Finch could give the musical a fresher, up to date feel.
This revival sounds great, I don't know who did the casting but it's genius, I wouldn't change a single name.
