While Daniel Radcliffe is known for the Harry Potter series, he’s grown and transformed a lot. In fact, Daniel also enjoyed playing other roles including The Gamechangers (TV Movie), Now You See Me 2 (Walter Mabry), and Swiss Army Man (Manny). As a matter of fact, Radcliffe revealed his role as Manny on “Swiss Army Man,” is one of his favorite characters he’s played in a film.

“Obviously, I loved playing Harry and those 10-years were very special, but my favorite character has to be ‘Manny,’ in Swiss Army Man. He’s a sweet, dead weirdo and it was awesome to play him!”

The film Swiss Army Man brings forth an intriguing plot played by Paul Dano and Daniel Radcliffe.

Swiss Army Man made the journey unique. Daniel Radcliffe revealed opened up about the film to The Guardian in 2016 after they revealed highly anticipated the film.

Radcliffe shared how the meant a lot to him.

“Oh, good; me too. If I had to burn every other scene I’ve ever done in my career and leave one, it would be the bus scene in Swiss Army Man. It’s the best six minutes I’ve ever been involved with onscreen.”

Truthfully there was something deeply beautiful about “Swiss Army Man,” and while it might not be everyone’s taste, we adored the film, what other films can make fart jokes so poetic?
