Tom Felton: Difference between revisions

Tom Felton is the British actor who played Draco Malfoy in all eight ''[[Harry Potter (Filmfilm)|Harry Potter]]'' films. He is the original [[Draco in Leather Pants]], inspiring many a [[Fan Girl]] to sigh over [[All Girls Want Bad Boys|the richest bad boy in Hogwarts]].

Felton is one of the young actors in ''Harry Potter'' who actually acted professionally prior to the series, starting off in commercials at the age of eight. His first film role was a major supporting part in the 1997 version of ''[[The Borrowers]]'', in which he played an [[Annoying Younger Sibling]] to Arrietty Clock. A couple years later he played [[Jodie Foster]]'s son in ''[[Anna and Thethe King]]''. When ''Harry Potter'' rolled around, he originally auditioned for the part of Harry and, failing that, went for Ron before finally ending up as Draco. For most of the series, Malfoy was a two-dimensional cowardly bully, but in ''[[Half Blood Prince]]'' he joins the ranks of Voldemort's followers and learns the hard way that [[Evil Is Not a Toy]]. This gave Felton a chance to show that [[He Really Can Act]].

In 2011, Felton appeared in ''[[Rise of the Planet of Thethe Apes]]'' in a role not too far removed from Draco. It remains to be seen how [[Type Cast]] he is, though Felton has said he enjoys playing evil and won't mind if he spends the rest of his career playing villains.

* [[But I Play One Onon TV]]: Not all ''Potter'' fans are Draco fans. Younger kids are often scared when they meet him and Felton has received letters asking him to leave Harry alone.
