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. Matthew delves deep into his inner defense mechanisms when viewing his own work, never letting his career define his life, and how he’s learned more from theater than films. 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.

Matthew Lewis has been profiled by The New York Times to mark the airing of the reboot of “All Creatures Great And Small” which began airing on PBS in the US on January 10th. Previously the show aired on Channel 5 in the UK last year. We will share a few snippets below but head over to The New York Times for the full feature.

Of his role as Hugh in All Creatures Great and Small:

But Lewis is still coming to terms with being a leading man — God forbid, a sexy one. Which is why, when the opportunity came to audition for “All Creatures Great and Small,” Lewis hesitated.

“The original series is a bit of an institution in Yorkshire, and my dad really wanted me to do it,” he said. “But this guy is supposed to be very dark and handsome, and it has to be believable that Helen’s in love with him. I was like, ‘I don’t know about this. When I shave, everyone will see I look like I’m about 12.’”

Even after he got the part, he still didn’t think he was in the clear. “I was dreading turning up the first day on set,” he said. “I was sure they’d be like, ‘This is what he actually looks like? Jesus, we need to recast this guy.’”

When discussing how he chooses roles:

Lewis said he struggles with roles that are too similar to his own life. “I find it quite difficult when too much of me starts to come through in a character,” he said. “It’s easier when I can play someone completely different, like a police officer in London or someone who’s wealthy.”

David Yates, director of the final four Harry Potter films discussed how Matthew grew as an actor and his importance in those films:

Yates kept thinking of ways to expand Lewis’s role in scenes, ultimately building a sequence around him in “Deathly Hallows: Part 2” in which Neville blows up a bridge to Hogwarts to thwart the dark wizard Voldemort’s army — a scene that didn’t exist in either the book or in early drafts of Steve Kloves’s screenplay. “But it captured the charms of Neville and Matthew’s everyman quality,” Yates said. “He had a modesty and an honesty that was hard to ignore.”
