Harry Potter: This actor was fired from the saga, here's what he is up to now

While a new Harry Potter series is currently in preparation on the HBO side, the saga's former actors - who have become millionaires as headliners - continue on their merry way. Daniel Radcliffe displays a striking physical transformation in Miracle Workers, Emma Watson returns to her studies, Rupert Grint flourishes on the small screen and Tom Felton makes a surprise appearance in Ed Sheeran's Are You Entertained video.

But what happens to lesser-known actors... like Jamie Waylett, who plays Vincent Crabbe? You remember, one of Draco Malfoy's bodyguards and friend of Gregory Goyle. Well, the former Slytherin student has since changed, but things haven't necessarily taken a turn for the better for the actor.

The descent into hell of Jamie Waylett, fired from the Harry Potter films

Jamie Waylett's acting career took a dark turn at the age of 22. Big fans may have been following this news closely, but you're certainly not unaware that Jamie Waylett has had a tumultuous career both on and off screen. In 2009, he was arrested for possession of cannabis, which led to his exclusion from the last two films in the series.

But that was just the start of trouble for Jamie Waylett. In 2011, he was arrested and subsequently jailed for handling stolen property and involvement in violent disturbances during the London riots. He was accused of possessing a Molotov cocktail while looting a pharmacy, resulting in a two-year prison sentence in March 2012. Now free, Jamie hasn't found his way back to Hollywood, but has found a way to make money.

Aged 34, Jamie charges $200 per clip and has a significantly different physique, with facial tattoos and a preponderance of body hair.

Often asked about his role in the cult saga, Jamie often refers to his past as Vincent Crabbe in his videos. But his current career and personal life remain relatively unknown. Since his release from prison, the actor has had no film projects.
