Should he ink a deal, the 24-year-old would appear as corporate climber J. Pierrepont Finch in the show from Jan. 3 to Jan. 22. As a result, the actor would miss filming an episode and a half of his FOX series.

For Criss, potentially taking over for Radcliffe — who appears as Harry Potter in the mega smash film franchise — would no doubt have special significance.

As a student at the University of Michigan, Criss sang and starred as the boy wizard in A Very Harry Potter Musical, which quickly went viral to became a YouTube sensation.
