While Ron Weasley was the talent-lacking best friend and sidekick to the protagonist, Rupert Grint’s upcoming character sounds like he’ll be closer to the center of the story.
Grint signed on as a lead in the TV adaptation of Guy Ritchie’s comedic caper Snatch, which also added Gossip GIrl’s Ed Westwick and Hemlock Grove’s Dougray Scott.
For a full decade, Harry Potter fanatics watched the film series’ cast grow from squeaky-voiced kids to adults.
In Crackle’s Snatch, he’ll play Charlie Cavendish, a criminal who seems to thrive on unpredictable impulses, which doesn’t always work to his favor.
