The brother of murdered Harry Potter star Rob Knox is set to star in EastEnders.Jamie, 18, has already auditioned for the BBC soap and sources say the good looking teenager wowed producers. An insider said: "He came across as a thoroughly convincing actor.
"The decision now needs to be taken about whether future plot lines can accommodate talent like Jamie. "But all the signs are good - he's definitely a star of the future." And Jamie said: "I met the head of casting three weeks ago and read some scripts with him. He introduced me to one of the producers and we had a chat. "It all went really well. All I can do now is wait and see."
Jamie was just 16 when Rob, 18, was stabbed to death protecting him from a knife man in Sidcup, south-east London. Rob had just finished filming Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince with Michael Gambon.
Jamie has since made a movie of his own called Cold Kiss - playing a blade-wielding lout. It's due out next year and also stars anti-knife campaigner Ray Winstone. Jamie said: "Many of the scenes really upset me. But if it encourages one person to put down a knife then it's worth it."
