Michael Rosenbaum has shared an interview with Matthew Lewis on his video podcast, Inside of You. Michael may be best known to American fans as Lex Luthor on Smallville.

The talented and very humble Matthew Lewis (Harry Potter, Me Before You) joins us this week and discusses the challenges of playing various characters after being a part of one of the world’s largest pop culture phenomenons.

For all you Harry Potter fans, we talk about some hilarious behind the scenes stories, memorabilia Matthew smuggled home with him, and also working with the late and brilliant Alan Rickman.
