Tony-nominated and Olivier-winning actor Jamie Parker stopped by The Tonight Show May 10 to discuss playing Harry Potter on Broadway.

“They're amazingly generous,” Parker said of audiences at the Lyric Theatre. “You can go a bit mad with the 'iconic' thing pretty quickly.

When I got the job on Cursed Child, I was doing another show in the West End and I was playing a part that Marlon Brando had played.”

Parker played Sky Masterson in the West End revival of Guys and Dolls, a role Brando performed for the musical’s movie adaptation.

Fallon wanted to know if the other Harry Potter, actor Daniel Radcliffe (who originated the role in the film franchise), had come to see the play yet. “No, he hasn’t been in yet.
