[edit] Biography
[edit] Harry Potter casting
When he was ten years old, a casting agent arrived at his school to take pictures for the Harry Potter films.
At first, Jamie was considered for the role of Dudley Dursley, but was eventually asked to go to Leavesden Studios to audition for Vincent Crabbe. Weeks later, his mum Theresa received a phone call. “We haven’t forgotten about Jamie,” she was told. “We’ll let you know.”
He went back for another audition, and he was sent in to speak with Chris Columbus. Chris said "Act sad, act happy, do this, do that," and then, "Just give us a nice shout and you’ve got the part."
[edit] Personal life
Waylett was born in London, where he attended Emmanuel Primary School. He enjoys listening to music, drawing, watching DVDs, Playstation games, painting, and riding his bike.
