Daniel Radcliffe to Guest on Next Season of FOX's THE SIMPSONS

Entertainment Weekly reports that Daniel Radcliffe will once again lend his voice to the long-running FOX animated series The Simpsons next season.

In the upcoming episode, Bart Simpson will meet up with Radcliffe's 'Diggs,' described as "a strange older boy with a passion for falconry, among other things."

Explains Simpsons executive producer Al Jean, "Diggs is a combination of Holden Caulfield, Finny from A Separate Peace and the kids in Lord of the Flies - only a little more screwed up."

Radcliffe debuted on the show in 2010's "Treehouse of Horror XXI", episode in which he played the vampire son of Dracula.

"I had the pleasure of meeting him after one of his performances in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, and he is one of the people who actually listens to Simpsons DVD commentaries." joked Jean on the return casting. "Also, he was terrific."

The Harry Potter star will join celebrity guests Kristen Wiig, Will Arnett, Eva Longoria and Elisabeth Moss on the cartoon's 25th season.

Radcliffe is best known for playing the title role in the 'Harry Potter' film franchise. He made his Broadway debut, to much acclaim, in EQUUS and made his Broadway musical debut as J. Pierrepont Finch in the recent revival of the Tony and Pulitzer Prize-winning HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING.

He will next appear on the big screen in the upcoming Kill Your Darlings, starring as the poet Allen Ginsberg.
