pplpod Episode 110 follows Rupert Grint’s shift from instant-icon kid wizard to a grown-up actor with left-turn taste. We trace the Harry Potter decade and the decision to zag after it—indies like Cherrybomb, Wild Target, and Into the White; punk-era swagger as Cheetah Chrome in CBGB; and a sly pop-culture wink in Ed Sheeran’s “Lego House.” Onstage, it’s a West End/Broadway pivot with Jez Butterworth’s Mojo and It’s Only a Play. Then TV becomes the laboratory: crime-caper swagger in Snatch, dark farce in Sick Note, and the unnerving slow burn of M. Night Shyamalan’s Servant—followed by another Shyamalan jolt in Knock at the Cabin. We unpack the craft—underplayed humor, open-face vulnerability, and a talent for letting weirdness breathe—and the career math of patience over noise. How Rupert Grint made peace with a phenomenon and built something stranger, smaller, and sturdier in its wake.
