Jamie Waylett was born on July 21, 1989 in London, England. He is an English actor known for his portrayal of Vincent Crabbe, the right-hand man to Draco Malfoy in all four of the Harry Potter films. He has yet to star in any other production. He has confirmed that he is returning for the fifth installment - which presumably started filming in early February 2006.
Waylett was born in London. He attended Emmanuel Primary School, London. When he was sitting in class at Emmanuel, a casting agent arrived to take pictures for the Harry Potter films. When he got home, he told his family that he was going to be in the Harry Potter films. When the laughter died down, his mother told him not to get too excited and these things just don't happen to ordinary kids like him.
On 22 October 2006 British tabloid The People claimed that Waylett is addicted to cocaine although the story is dubious in nature.
