Friday, February 28, 2014 at 4:59 pm | Comments Off on Scan and Transcript of Matt Lewis’ TV Choice Magazine Interview |
The latest issue of TV Choice Magazine (Feb 22nd – 28th issue) features an interview with Matthew where he discusses his role in Bluestone 42. Thanks to @kirstiebrookes on Twitter we have a scan of the issue, you can also read a full transcript in our press archive.
Of the shows comedic aspects, Matt said: ‘You’re laughing along with these guys all the way, never at them,’ says Mathew. ‘It’s a comedy, but there’s real danger in every episode, and we don’t skirt over that.’
He also mentioned that he didn’t watch the first series of the show when it originally aired due to the fact that he wasn’t offered a role. But he mentioned in another interview (on The Culture Studio – listen starting at 1:17:30) that after he watched he realized there was no part that was a right fit.
‘It looked brilliant, but I didn’t get an audition, so I went into a big actor’s sulk and refused to watch it! I was like, “Why haven’t I been put up for this? I’d love to do something like that!” Fast forward a year, and here I am!’
