From Quiz How Did They Fare in Muggle Movies?

Answer: Playing Allen Ginsberg, the poet

Daniel Radcliffe was born in 1989 and starred as Harry Potter in all eight movies. In each movie the young wizard has to face the most evil witches and warlocks, including You-Know-Who. Before the Harry Potter series, Daniel had already played the young David Copperfield (the Dickensian boy, not the eponymous magician) in the TV mini series "David Copperfield" (1999). After the "Harry Potter" movies, Daniel Radcliffe appeared in several movies, of which I would like to mention "Kill Your Darlings" - a biography of the American poet Allen Ginsberg. Radcliffe played the main role. The red herrings refer to movies similar to the ones Radcliffe played in. He played Arthur Kipps in the horror movie "The Woman in Black" (2012), not the love story "The Woman in Red" (1984). Radcliffe played Wallace in "The F Word" (2013), not "The L Word" (also 2013). And he played Walter Mabry in "Now You See Me 2", not Thaddeus Bradley (role of Morgan Freeman).

Answer: Rooster Cogburn

Strother Martin appeared in the sequel to "True Grit", "Rooster Cogburn", as the irritable sailor, Shanghai McCoy. "Rooster Cogburn" reprised the Duke's character from "True Grit". Wayne and Katherine Hepburn were good together but the movie itself, like so many sequels, was an inferior effort. Hepburn played the part of Miss Eula Goodnight, a straight-laced minister's daughter whose father was killed by the bad guys. Rooster had been brought out of retirement to track them down, as they stole nitroglycerine from an Army detail. Martin also appeared as Jeb Ross in "The Sons of Katie Elder".
