You’ve seen him rapping, lip-syncing, walking dogs and now -- bald!

Daniel Radcliffe recently shaved his head for his role in Imperium, in which he plays an FBI agent undercover as a neo-Nazi. The film is co-written by former FBI operative Michael German and director Daniel Ragussis.

Entertainment Weekly posted the first photos of Radcliffe, which are now available on his Google Plus page.

Fans will note that the shaving of the head marks the most drastic change in the actor’s hair since famously terrible styles of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

Harry Potter’s hair was probably his third-most famous physical feature -- and by getting rid of it, Radcliffe has erased an iconic element of the Boy Who Lived. As J.K. Rowling wrote in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone:

About once a week, Uncle Vernon looked over the top of his newspaper and shouted that Harry needed a haircut. Harry must have had more haircuts than the rest of the boys in his class put together, but it made no difference, his hair simply grew that way—all over the place.
