First Look at Quinta Brunson as Oprah Winfrey in ‘WEIRD: The Al Yankovic Story’

Roku has shared a first look at Quinta Brunson as Oprah Winfrey in WEIRD: The Al Yankovic Story where she will be starring alongside Daniel Radcliffe as the titular character.

The still shows the Abbott Elementary star and character sporting a brown dress and waist belt with her hair styled similarly to Winfrey’s, while Radcliffe wears an unbuttoned Hawaiian with a necklace made of what seems to be small versions of certifications of his records. Brunson is the latest actress to be announced as a cast member, joining Evan Rachel Wood as Madonna, Rainn Wilson as radio broadcaster Dr. Demento and Julianne Nicholson and Toby Huss as Yankovic’s parents.

“Wearing the Hawaiian shirt is a huge responsibility that I don’t take lightly, and I’m honored to finally share with the world the absolutely 100 percent unassailably true story of Weird Al’s depraved and scandalous life,” Radcliffe said in a previous statement. Yankovic also added,

“I am absolutely thrilled that Daniel Radcliffe will be portraying me in the film. I have no doubt whatsoever that this is the role future generations will remember him for.”

Stay tuned for an official release date.
