Daniel Radcliffe stopped by CBS's THE TALK to chat to the hosts about the heartfelt moment he experienced when receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

He said of his parents, "I made it thanks to you...I was very lucky to get the part of Harry [Potter]...I've been lucky enough to be able to continue my career and work with people I love in the years since Potter finished, but the seeds of all my luck were sown at the very beginning -- 26 years ago, when I got you as parents -- so thank you and I love you." He goes on, "... I was prepared to be cool and give my speech and not get really emotional...I saw them [his parents] and we were like 'oh god, ok - we're not going to be able to look at each other for the entirety of this!'

Radcliffe can currently be seen as Igor in Paul McGuigan's Victor Frankenstein, opposite James McAvoy. The actor's recent films include THE WOMAN IN BLACK, as well as KILL YOUR DARLINGS, HORNS, WHAT IF and TRAINWRECK. His upcoming projects include SWISS ARMY MAN, BROOKLYN BRIDGE, YOUNG AMERICANS and NOW YOU SEE ME: THE SECOND ACT, as well as the TV movie GAME CHANGER.

Radcliffe rose to international fame starring as the title character in HARRY POTTER, the highest grossing film series of all time. The actor recently appeared on the Great White Way in THE CRIPPLE OF INISHMAAN and Broadway's recent revival of HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING. Radcliffe also starred in EQUUS in 2008.
