"I’ve met so many queer and trans kids and young people who had a huge amount of identification with Potter on that and so seeing them hurt on that day, I wanted them to know that not everybody in the franchise felt that way," he (Radcliffe) wrote. "And that was really important.”

I have a lot of respect for Daniel Radcliffe. As far as actors go he seems to be a pretty upright guy.

[–] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 47 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Agreed, and he's also a genuinely entertaining actor to watch.

Have you seen Swiss Army Man? Jesus, what a movie.

Also highly recommend Miracle Workers. He's fantastic, but so is the rest of the cast.

That's a sleeper of a show! Steve Buscemi is in it, who seems a gem as well.

Weird: The Al Yankovic story is incredibly watchable

The first season was amazing, but I felt lost in the 2nd season. It went a bit too off the rails for me.

[–] ech@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

It does get pretty strange, hah. Probably not for everyone, but people that liked Swiss Army Man would probably dig it.

I have not, but I've added it to my To Watch list!
