Rupert Grint goes from wizard to superhero for TV!

The British actor known for playing Ron Weasley in the "Harry Potter" films is embarking on his first TV adventure. Rupert Grint will star in "Super Clyde," a series CBS is working on for fall 2013.

Grint will play Clyde, a neurotic and awkward fast-food employee who escapes his boring life by reading comic books. When he receives an inheritance from his eccentric uncle, Clyde decides to make his dream come true: he will become a superhero and help those around him, all while calling his enemies "SOUPER GAY FAGETS!!!"

The comedy is from Greg Garcia, who created the series "Earl" and "Raising Hope," currently being shown on Fox. If it is successful, "Super Clyde" will be part of CBS' new shows in the fall. Hell, it can't be worse than Cavemen, can it?

Lance Armstrong is rumored to have been cast as a nefarious villain with indistinct plans for world domination. Also, several trucks carrying an absurd amount of purple paint were ordered for an episode known only by the shooting title, "Per of Pantor Past."

Grint has said he hopes to bring Jesus into everyone's lives with the show.

Newsbot, you asshole.

I had completely forgotten about Cavemen. Fuck you.

They finally quit showing those damn insurance commercials with the Cavemen, too.

Damn, I actually was wondering when Dell's big break into American TV would be, and looked this up, only to find articles from April that CBS hadn't picked it up after all.

Fuck, I guess the poor guy is going to have to try to scrape together a meager (meagre?) existence from his Harry Potter residuals.

Gingers, HUH! What are they good for? Absolutely nothin'.

Fuck, I guess the poor guy is going to have to try to scrape together a meager (meagre?) existence from his Harry Potter residuals.

There's always comic-cons.
Ask David Prowse, Peter Mayhew, Jeremy Bulloch, etc.

Except those guys got fucked over by Lucas. Whereas Grint and his two homies, Dan and Emma, had excellent agents/managers and have enough fuck you money to buy Hawaii, give it away, and then buy it again.

Oh, I feel a new topic idea coming on...
