A dwarf actor who appeared in the Harry Potter and Star Wars films has today admitted exposing himself at an arcade - while dressed as a JOCKEY.
Nicholas Read, 48, was caught on CCTV walking up to a 2p machine before yanking his white trousers down and exposing himself.
The bizarre incident happened as a drunken Read was in an arcade at Ingoldmells, Lincolnshire, on March 2 for a stag weekend.
A member of staff approached Read, who was still standing by the machine with his trousers down, and asked him to leave.
Read, of Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, admitted a charge of outraging public decency when he appeared at Lincoln Magistrates Court.
The court heard Read claimed he was so drunk he thought the arcade machine was a urinal.
The 4ft 5ins actor played a gringotts goblin in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and an Ewok in Star Wars.
It is not the first time Read has been hauled before the courts for sexual behavior.
In 2011 he was given a suspended jail term after he was found guilty of flashing a 17-year-old girl on a train.
A court heard he performed a sex act on himself under cover of a juggler's hat while travelling from London to Leicester.
He also has previous convictions for making explicit phone calls to "random" women from a hotel room in 1995.
Read was handed a 12-month community order and given a 7am-7pm curfew for six months.
He was also ordered to pay £85 in costs and an £85 victim surcharge by presiding magistrate Jenny Frere-Cook.
Wearing a black coat, black shirt, tie and trousers, Read sighed with relief when the sentence was read out.
