According to The Hollywood Reporter, Harry Potter‘s ‘Ron’ – Rupert Grint – has signed up to take on a leading role in CBS’ Super Clyde. The series was created by Greg Garcia (Raising Hope, My Name is Earl) and, according to THR, “centers on a meek, unassuming fast-food worker who decides to become a superhero.”
Garcia is writing the series and will serve as executive producer.
Per THR, Grint’s character is described as a sweet, slightly neurotic guy who loves comic books. He has anxiety issues which don’t keep him from wanting to be a real-life superhero. After inheriting a monthly allowance, he decides to act on his fantasies and commit himself to do good.
In addition to this project, Grint will be seen in the feature films Into the White [poster pictured], CBGB, and Cross Country.
