On Being Recognized as Ron:

"It’s not too bad, actually," said Grint in an interview with About.com from October 2006. "It's only been in the last few years where I get recognized a little bit more from [the Harry Potter films]. The hair does sort of stand out. But they're always really nice, so it's not really a problem. It is something really weird and I've not really got used to it because it is quite strange. But, as I say, it's not really a problem."

A Little Trivia:

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone was Grint's first feature film. All in all, not a bad way to start off a career in acting.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Thunderpants, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Driving Lessons, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Wild Target, Cherrybomb, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Parts 1 & 2.
