Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) participated in a video tribute to Stephen Frye who won the Special Recognition Award on UK’s National Television Awards 2010. Frye is such a profilic performer that he even narrated the UK audiobook editions of the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling. Radcliffe does mention that a friend who attends a university likes to hear Frye read about the boy wizard before he goes to sleep at night:
1:50 - I love, love, love A Bit of Fry and Laurie.
2:30 - I do think Stephen is an absolutely perfect Jeeves, and I would want him to be my Jeeves in real life. He’d be rather wonderful.
2:50 - There’s something about him which is warm. Just having him on television makes life brighter for everyone.
3:20 - I do think the program QI is one of the greatest educators in the country. I don’t think you can watch that show and not smile.4:45 - I’ve got a very good friend who, every night, after coming home from university goes to sleep listening to Stephen read the Harry Potter books on tape because he just does it so wonderfully.
5:46 - Once you are in a position where people will watch something because of you, you have to become even more selective about what you do. Like drawing attention to bipolarism.
7:18 - I think that he’s one of the most important people in the country. He’s one of the reasons we are great. Just occasionally, our country produces people like him.
Congratulations, Mr. Frye!
