Daniel Radcliffe is an amazing example of how a world-famous actor should behave. Because in a video all about him and his career, he instead makes it all about the people he worked with, not only fellow actors but the writers and directors. I'm glad he's having fun with his roles and not just picking things that will get him awards. I'm surprised he didn't mention Imperium. The subject matter was dark, but it was a really interesting film that changed my perception of him in a good way.

Weird Al is the biopic I never realized I needed and now I'm so stoked. One of my fondest childhood memories is riding with my brother, cousins and uncle in his Jeep Wrangler and scream-singing along with the Bad Hair Day album at full volume throughout the summer of '96. Much like Kristen Stewart as Princess Diana, I never would have imagined Daniel Radcliffe as Weird Al but I know he's going to absolutely crush it.

I agree with Daniel about the right directors came along. I can’t imagine Richard Harris getting darker with the franchise but Michael was able to grow darker into franchise. David finished out the franchise beautifully & I’m glad they kept him because it almost feels like one giant film & not 4 films.
