4. Jamie Waylett

Crime: Violent disorder Served: 2 years Jamie Waylett became an actor quite by accident. Swept up in the mass auditioning process for Harry Potter And The Philosopher€™s Stone, he ended up getting the part of Crabbe, one of Malfoy€™s goons (he does look the part). A constant throughout the series, Crabbe was notable in his absence from the final two films, with best chum Goyle taking his role in events. The reason why is not a positive one. Clearly they really do put the bad €˜uns in Slytherin; as the series reached its height Waylett found himself arrested for a variety of crimes. First charged for growing cannabis (he got community service), he ended up in jail in the aftermath of the London riots; he was seen with a molotov cocktail breaking into a pharmacy (you couldn€™t make that up). With only Harry Potter on his resume and lacking any real star status (or possibly desire), he's not returned to acting since being released.
