Rupert Grint bags TV superhero role
Written by . Published: February 14 2013
Rupert Grint is going from wizard to superhero after landing the lead role in a new TV show.
The Harry Potter star is set to film a pilot for Super Clyde, about a comic book-loving fast-food worker who decides to become a vigilante after coming into a huge inheritance.
The comedy, which will be Rupert Grint's first major small screen
role, is the brainchild of My Name Is Earl writer Greg Garcia, and
has been picked up by bosses at the CBS network.
Rupert Grint is most famous for playing wizard schoolboy Ron
Weasley in the Harry Potter series, which came to an end in
2011.
