The comedy film, "Weird: The Al Yankovic Story," spans the outrageous life and career of the musician, who also appears in the movie as president of a record label. "Nobody actually asked me to learn the accordion, but I felt if I'm playing Weird Al and I don't even try to learn the accordion, that's just pretty lazy. So I did," the 33-year-old star said.
"Ten years ago, I performed a song by another comedy song writer, Tom Lehrer, on a chat show in the U.K., and he saw me do that and is also a fan," Radcliffe said. "You never know what going on a talk show can do for you."
