Daniel Radcliffe has made a decent transition from being the titular star of J. K. Rowling’s fantastical adaptation of the ‘Harry Potter’ series. The actor has maintained his stardom without marring his image. Recently, he starred in Eric Appel’s ‘Weird: The Al Yankovic Story’ which also starred Emmy-winning actress Quinta Brunson.
‘Abbott Elementary’ starring Quinta Brunson, Sheryl Lee Ralph, and others has been an awards-season success. During the recent 2023 Emmy Awards, the show won the award for ‘Best Comedy Series’ with Quinta winning the award for ‘Best Actress’. While she is busy creating subsequent seasons for the amazing show, her ‘Weird: The Al Yankovic Story’ co-star has the next role for her, and it is in a rom-com with him!
