NEW YORK, NY  --  British actor Daniel Radcliffe, who is best know for his role as Harry Potter, is coming to New York this September to perform in the Broadway version of "Equus," where he plays a tortured - and at times naked - teenager.

Radcliffe, 18, won rave reviews for his performance in the play in London last year, and will perform a 22-week run of Peter Shaffer's gruelling psychological thriller in New York City.

The production of "Equus" will be the play's first revival on Broadway since it debuted in 1974, playing until 1977 and winning the Tony Award for best play in 1975, Reuters reports.

Radcliffe told Reuters in an interview in September the prospect of acting in New York was "terrifying."

"It will be amazing, but I will be terrified because I was talking to Richard Griffiths about playing New York and he said the most stupid thing you can do is underestimate New York audiences," he said.

"I would be very nervous because I think (the audiences are) even more discerning than in London," he said.

Here's a story about Radcliffe's appearance on the London stage:
