This Harry Potter actor is more than just a wizard.

Daniel Radcliffe stripped down to only his white briefs in the season finale of Miracle Workers on TBS, showing off his ripped physique. He screamed maniacally and fought off robots, tearing the metal fighters limb from limb.

Known for his role as the titular Harry Potter, Daniel plays road warrior Sid in the latest season of the anthology show. Sid lives in a post-nuclear apocalyptic world where he leaves the fictitious Wasteland for the more thriving Boomtown. He's appeared in all four seasons of the show, playing a different character each time.

In the first season, he played Craig Bog, an angel responsible for dealing with all of humanity's prayers that leads him to prevent Earth's destruction. The actor plays Prince Chauncley the Pretty Cool in the second season, which is set in the dark ages and by the title of his character, is not a very serious role. The third season had Daniel playing Reverend Ezekiel Brown, a holy man leading his congregation for a better life on the Oregon Trail.

The comedy series also boasts actors Steve Buscemi, Geraldine Viswanathan, Karan Soni and Jon Bass and has been on the air since 2019. But it seems like the most recent episode shows off Daniel's buff body more than ever before.

This isn't the first time the Harry Potter star has bared all. In 2007, he played Alan Strang in the West End version of Equus, stripping down to the nude to the shock and delight of fans around the world who'd only ever seen Daniel in the child-friendly adaption of JK Rowling's book series.

Daniel was recently spotted joining his fellow SAG-AFTRA members on the picket lines. The organisation has been on strike since July, as the union was unable to reach a deal with producers for the upcoming year. The actor cradled his then three-month-old son as the tot sat in a support sling on Daniel's chest. His longtime girlfriend Erin Darke joined him and their baby, holding up a protest sign in solidarity.

It was announced last month that the beloved Harry Potter series will be turned into a television show. Fans wondered if the actor would make his return to Hogwarts, but the 34-year-old actor shared his doubts. He shared with Comicbook.com in an interview, "My understanding is that they're trying to very much start fresh, and I'm sure whoever is making them will want to make their own mark on it and probably not want to have to figure out how to get old Harry to cameo in this somewhere."
