No one’s ever survived puberty as well as Matthew Lewis. The once awkward looking actor, known for playing Neville Longbottom in the Harry Potter franchise,blossomed into a beautiful young man this year. That transformation alone qualifies him to be on this list. However he’s determined to do more than just drop jaws with his chiseled English looks. He’s also starring in two movies this year: a short called Night of the Loving Dead and Wasteland

The Syndicate to Air March 27th at 9pm on BBC1

Matthew Lewis’ brother, Anthony (also an actor), has revealed via his Twitter that The Syndicate will be premiering on March 27th.

I have just been told by Kay Mellor that The Syndicate will be starting on 27th March at 9pm on BBC1. Be there!

BBC have posted the synopsis for the first episode and it is as follows:

In a new five-part drama for BBC One, written by Kay Mellor, The Syndicate tells the story of five workers at a cut-price supermarket in Leeds whose lives are turned upside down after they jointly win the lottery.

In episode one, local Right Buy U supermarket in Leeds is threatened with closure, spiralling its five staff, Bob, Stuart, Denise, Leanne and Jamie into an uncertain future.

Faced with the prospect of losing his young family if he doesn’t get hold of some cash quickly, assistant manager Stuart Bradley and his younger brother Jamie are forced to take matters into their own hands, with dramatic consequences for store manager Bob.

Just when it seems things can’t get any worse the unthinkable happens: 18 million pounds falls into their laps. Is the money going to be the answer to all their problems, or is life about to get a whole lot more complicated?

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.
