Tony-winner Daniel Radcliffe has joined the cast of a new comedy pilot from 30 Rock creators Robert Carlock and Tina Fey, Variety reports. Carlock is writing and executive producing the pilot alongside Sam Means and Fey is attached as an executive producer.

Radcliffe joins the previously announced Tracy Morgan, who leads the show as Reggie, a disgraced former football player on a mission to rehabilitate his image.

He is best known for playing the title character in the Harry Potter film franchise and has also appeared in Swiss Army Man, The Lost City, and Weird: The Al Yankovic Story.
