Rupert Grint, who will likely be remembered forever as Ron Weasley in the "Harry Potter" film series, has been fairly busy since the final instalment, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2," was released in 2011.

He starred this year in the Norwegian true-life war drama "Into the White" as an English Royal Air Force member who, along with his surviving crewmates, is forced to team up with German air fighters to survive after the teams shoot each other down over Norway.

He's also signed on to three other films going into production soon, most notably the Beach Boys biopic "The Drummer," in which he will play Stan Shapiro, best friend to Beach Boys star Dennis Wilson. Grint will also appear in "Postman Pat: the Movie," a big-screen adaptation of the popular British animated series.

The third film (if it gets made -- the details are still sketchy at this point) marks a bit of a departure for the former child star. "Cross Country" is an indie British horror film about a group of friends on a camping trip. The move to horror is not unprecedented, especially since "Harry Potter" costar Daniel Radcliffe broke out of his Hogwart's role in "The Woman in Black."
