Remember the big boy from the epic Harry Potter? He was played by Jamie Waylett, whose acting career ended in the most unexpected way: he repeatedly came to the attention of the police for antisocial behavior, and as a result, received a real term.
Biography
Jamie Waylett was born in London in 1989. He grew up a sickly boy, and his parents constantly took him to the doctors. But the problems did not end there: at the age of nine, Jamie had a car accident and was badly injured. He had a broken skull and a brain injury, and the hope for the child's survival was scanty.
However, thanks to the efforts of his parents, he scrambled out and soon went on the mend. The wise parents insisted on a blood transfusion - this saved the life of their son.
Actor's career
Probably, fate was preparing him for the role of Vincent Crabbe, because the director of "Harry Potter", seeing Wylett, immediately decided that he would take the boy into his project - after all, his texture and character were visible to the naked eye.
True, at first Jamie was scheduled for a completely different role, but later the director saw Vincent in him.
And so in 2001, began filming a large-scale project "Harry Potter", the first part. First, Jamie auditioned, and then approved for the role that made him famous.
It was a fun and happy time: all the actors were children, it was very interesting for them to act and be on the same set with famous actors, it was interesting to transform into their heroes. It was a time of inspiration and creativity.
And, despite the fact that Wylett was constantly, as it were, in the shadow of the main characters, he made a very big contribution to the entertainment and emotionality of the plot.
Jamie Waylett became famous for his role, he was at the height of fame and it seemed that now he could make an acting career - because his Vincent turned out exactly as the director intended. And many guys his age would like to be in his place.
For several years, Jamie starred in Harry Potter. His hero and the heroes of his fellow filmmakers grew up and matured with them, and everything was fine.
However, when the shooting ended, it was as if a void had formed in Wylett's life, and he did not know how to fill it.
Black line
And in 2009, his car was stopped by the police, and during a search in the car they found marijuana. Then the young actor got off with community service, no more measures were applied to him.
And in 2011, he was noticed among the young people who caused the riots in London. He was spotted by a camera on the street: Waylett was holding a gas bomb in his hands. However, he assured that he did not cause any harm, and simply carried the bomb at the request of his acquaintances.
In court, he behaved calmly, did not deny his guilt, and it seemed that he was telling the truth. The judges commuted his sentence, as there was no evidence that he personally caused any harm, and therefore Wylett was sentenced to two years in prison.
The artist's fans do not hope that he will ever appear on the screen, because since then nothing has been heard about the actor.
