Matthew Lewis Talks ‘The Syndicate’

In another new interview, this time with The Press Association, Matthew Lewis talks about his character Jamie in The Syndicate, which airs his month.

“Jamie is a drug-taking, mouthy scallywag from a council estate in Leeds and Neville is a shy, reserved boy wizard who’s afraid of his own shadow. On the surface they are world’s apart. However, when you scratch below that surface they have similarities,” he said. “I connected with the character of Jamie instantly and wanted to play him from the moment I read the script. The fact that he was a ‘bad lad’ didn’t really factor in my decision making. I just knew I wanted to tell Jamie’s story and thankfully Kay granted me that opportunity,” the 22-year-old said.

“A lot of people will dislike him and they will find him on the surface to be a pretty disagreeable bloke. He’s been through a lot but I’m not asking people to justify his behaviour, I just hope they understand it on a human level. That for me is the challenge, and that is what drew me to him. I’m really passionate about this guy and this story.”

The full interview may be read in the press archive.

New Photos and Interview with Matthew for The Syndicate

The BBC has posted two new photos as well as an interview with Matthew Lewis for his upcoming show The Syndicate.  You can read the full interview at the previous link or in the press archive! View the two new photos in the gallery!

Jamie gets to wear some sharp suits in the drama – do you like his look and are they the sort of things you would wear?

Half and half! Once Jamie wins the money he becomes very flash, very flamboyant. He’s a lad from a council estate who jumps head first into the seedy world of adult entertainment. He tries to dress in what he thinks he should be dressing in but he doesn’t quite get it right.

Some of his earlier gear is not my cup of tea. However, as Jamie settles in and things start to go right for him he grows in confidence and he starts to dress more confidently with it. His suits become less flashy and more elegant. Towards the end he looks much more like he belongs in the world of the rich rather just a pretender. You’re almost proud of him and some of that later gear I could wear definitely.

Fellow cast member Matthew McNulty, who plays Jamie’s brother Stuart, also discussed working with Matt:

Stuart has a complicated relationship with his brother Jamie, played by Matthew Lewis; did you and Matthew get on well on set?

Matthew McNulty: Yeah, he’s a top lad, Matt – we share a lot of common interests and have a similar sense of humour so we got on really well. We also both have brothers and understand how you can have an eruption of extreme hatred for your brother one minute then vehemently defend them the next, as is commonly the case with Stuart and Jamie.

He’s a cracking actor that really brought Jamie to life for me and definitely enhanced my own performance. I always enjoyed working with Matt because I totally believe everything he was doing and found him great company to be around on set.

Finally, Kay Mellor, the writer discussed Matthew’s audition:

You have a great cast in The Syndicate – did you have these actors in mind when you wrote the characters?

Joanna Page and Matthew Lewis both walked into the audition room and the part was theirs – they were so brilliant.
