Posted: 1/30/09 at 1:23pmPersonally, 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.

Posted: 1/30/09 at 1:25pmLook at the rest of them . . . they are all pretty crappy. I've never been impressed with the Caricatures from Sardi's.

Posted: 1/30/09 at 1:27pmI was going to post the same thing. The Sardi's characters are always terrible and never look like the person honored.

Posted: 1/30/09 at 1:30pmThe 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.

Posted: 1/30/09 at 1:47pmWell 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.

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.

Posted: 1/30/09 at 5:31pmI'm sure Daniel Radcliffe was equally disappointed when he first saw the picture.

Posted: 1/30/09 at 5:45pmYeah, 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.

Posted: 1/30/09 at 5:55pmIs the poor guy going to be stuck next to Suzanne Sommers. How aweful!
#14re: Photo Coverage: EQUUS Star Daniel Radcliffe's Caricature Unveiled at Sardi's
Posted: 1/30/09 at 7:32pmIt 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?

Posted: 1/31/09 at 12:17amSchmerg - 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.
You're reminding me of people you hear at the movies asking questions every ten seconds, "Who is that? Why is that guy walking down the street? Who's that lady coming up to him? Uh-oh, why did that car go by? Why is it so dark in this theater?" - FindingNamo on strummergirl

"They say that just being relaxed is the most important thing [in acting]. I take that to another level, I think kinda like yawning and...like being partially asleep onstage is also good, but whatever." - Sherie Rene Scott

Posted: 1/31/09 at 12:58amIs 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...

Posted: 1/31/09 at 3:57amYeah, 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.
