I'd lost something,\u201d he says. Then he remembered a piece of advice from fellow \u201cPotter\u201d alum, the late, great Alan Rickman: Go and do theater. \n\n\u201cI think it's really important, when you've been from where I'd come from\u2014this huge machine that started to define me\u2014to feel the fear [of theater],\u201d Grint says. \u201cI felt very human again.\u201d\n\nIn this episode of \u201cIn the Envelope: The Actor\u2019s Podcast,\u201d Grint walks us through the twists and turns of his magical, unlikely career\u2014from the marathon auditions that landed him his \u201cHarry Potter\u201d role, to the uncertainty of his post-franchise life, to the artistic resurgence that led him to M.
