The Harry Potter star, 29, shows off his funny bone in TBS’ heavenly comedy Miracle Workers (Feb. 12). He plays Craig, a worker-bee angel who has to come up with a plan to save humanity when God (Steve Buscemi) decides he’s not too happy with what’s going on down here.

What is heaven like in Miracle Workers?

It’s the closest thing I can imagine to a secular idea of heaven. The focus isn’t on religion, because that’s not really what this show is about. But God has definitely grown disillusioned with his own creation.

Craig seems like a very cautious angel.

He takes an immense amount of pride in his work. But at the same time, to avoid failure, he has scaled back his ambitions to only make tiny differences in the world.

Do you tend to be cautious or do you jump into things?

I generally jump into things and figure it out. So I’m definitely not as cautious as Craig. I’ve got a lot of the nervous energy that Craig has, but that’s more just how I am. It doesn’t necessarily reflect a huge nervousness all the time.

How do you spend your downtime?

As soon as I’ve got some genuine downtime, I see friends and catch up, I watch a lot of sports, read and go to the gym.
