In a new interview with Metro, Matt Lewis talks about his role in series 4 of Ripper Street, available on Amazon Prime UK from January 15th. His character’s full name, Desk Sergeant Samuel Drummond, has been revealed. The interview also included two new promotional photos, which may be seen in the gallery.
A transcript of the interview can be read below:
As an actor it’s quite nice to never know what you’re gonna be doing next, and since I finished on Harry Potter I’ve been very fortunate that I’ve been able to do some wildly different characters. And one thing that I’ve never done before is anything period, and I’ve basically done a Leeds accent – which is my accent – in everything I did.
I get to play a policeman in Victorian England, and do a cockney accent, so it ticked a few boxes. And then I read the scripts which were brilliant, and obviously look at the cast that I got to work with. It was a bit of a no-brainer, and it was kind of everything I hoped it would be. It’s been a great few months.
