A BIG time actor has made a shocking cameo on Jeopardy! with an entire category all to himself.

The head-turning appearance occurred on Thursday's episode of the famous game show.

During round two of that night's battle, host Ken Jennings ran through the categories, including one titled, "Daniel Radcliffe Collage."

"I'm Daniel Radcliffe with clues about my career that has included stage dramas, musicals, and biopics," the famous actor said on a video for the three contestants to view.

The 33-year-old then went on to reveal certain facts about his career, including a small role in a school play at 10 years old that led him to getting his giant role in the Harry Potter franchise.

Fans were all about Daniel's surprise appearance as they took to the show's official Instagram to share their reactions.

"He's great!" one said as another added, "I love him so much!"

"I wish Emma and Rupert were part of this, too!" one person wrote referring to Daniel's former costars Emma Watson and Rupert Grint.

At the end of Daniel's segment, Ken reminded viewers that the movie star can next be seen taking on the role of "Weird Al" Yankovic in the musician's life story- the film is set to be released on November 4th on Roku.

Daniel, who earlier this year was seen in character on set- previously told PEOPLE: "Wearing the Hawaiian shirt is a huge responsibility that I don't take lightly.

Back in March, the star also appeared on The View and had nothing but kind words to share about the parody hitmaker.

"He's the nicest human, and he was on set every day which is a real pleasure," he said at the time.

On the experience, Daniel added: "… It was one of the most fun things I have ever done in my life."

Al is the highest selling comedy recording artist of all time, and he is also a five-time Grammy winner.
