Actors often learn a new skill when they take on a new role.  Singing, dancing, horseback riding, ice skating.  But this might be a first:

When Daniel Radcliffe got the lead in “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story”, he learned how to play the accordion.

He says, quote, “Nobody asked me to, by the way.  It was entirely self-inflicted.  I mean, if you’re playing Al, what else am I doing?  You’ve got to make an honest attempt.”

He even got critiques from Weird Al himself.  He says, quote, “My most common note was ‘Please pump more.'”

“Weird: The Al Yankovic Story” hits the Roku Channel on November 4th.
