See Quinta Brunson Transform Into Oprah Winfrey for Weird Al Biopic

Roku announced in January that Daniel had been cast as the now-62-year-old Yankovic in the Roku Original biopic, written by Alfred Yankovic and Eric Appel who will also direct the feature.

Following the announcement, the singer explained his reason for casting Daniel in a tweet.

“There are MANY reasons why I wanted to cast Daniel Radcliffe in my movie, but this is what really clinched the deal for me. (He’s going to absolutely kill this,)” Weird Al wrote in January, alongside a video of the actor singing Tom Lehrer‘s 1959 song “The Elements” on BBC’s The Graham Norton Show in 2010.
