Personally, I think it is a horrible caricature and barely resembles him. Usually caricatures should be funny or exagerate people's features, this one just looks blah.... I've seen better being sold on the street outside.

Look at the rest of them . . . they are all pretty crappy. I've never been impressed with the Caricatures from Sardi's.

I was going to post the same thing. The Sardi's characters are always terrible and never look like the person honored.

The caricature is distractingly pink! It really doesn't look good at all. That's too bad.

Well, they actually sort of do look like the actor . . . but drawn by a 5-year-old.

Well to be fair, the one in the background of Suzeanne Sommers and the one of Liza are more what I would expect. atleast they kind of accentuate those ladie's peculiar features.

Why is he wearing a shirt?

Well, they did get the eyebrows and the neck spot-on.

He's so funny-looking; why can't they draw a caricature that looks equally goofy? I don't understand this. It's an honour to be caricatured, I'm sure Daniel Radcliffe would think it was hilarious if he had a caricature that made him look like a freak.

Ick. Not a fan.

I'm sure Daniel Radcliffe was equally disappointed when he first saw the picture.

Yeah, they're not so much caricatures as portraits. And they're always covering up the actors' physical flaws. It's like when people ask me to draw them and I always make them thinner and more attractive because I don't want to make them mad.

Is the poor guy going to be stuck next to Suzanne Sommers. How aweful!

It looks nothing like him. I agree that the Sardi's caricatures are usually pretty bad, but they do sometimes have features resembling the actual artist. This is one of the worst I've ever seen from them.

Looks more like Kate Mulgrew.

Has anyone ever refused to sign his drawing because of poor quality?

wow that is the worst one I have yet seen...that is sad I was excited when I heard that he was getting one, but what a let down..

Schmerg - Radcliff is funny looking. Perhaps you should have your eyes examined.

He is kinda funny looking, he has eyebrows that could take on Peter Gallagher and Martin Scorsese in a bushy eyebrow face-off (they'd place, but I don't imagine they'd win).
He also has a very thin upper lip, which they kinda pulled off in the portrait. I really think leaving out the facial hair was a big mistake.

Is he doing Equus with that thick beard thing? I don't remember it being that thick when I saw the show.

How long ago did you see it, adamgreer?

You know, the saddest part really, is that you can get a better caricature done at an amusement park for like $15-$20 and yet I bet the guy who did that one got paid a whole buttload...

Very early on...it was in previews.

[willep]

Posted: 1/31/09 at 3:57am

Yeah, he hasn't had much of a shave or a haircut since starting the show, I don't think. I went in about the first week of previews and then again over Christmas break and his hair was crazy long and wild compared to the first time.

I guess my post didn't make much sense. I think Dan Radcliffe is REALLY funny-looking, but his caricature doesn't have much personality, and I wish it looked goofier as well.
