Matthew Lewis is a British actor who gained popularity as a child by playing Neville Longbottom in a series of films about Harry Potter. Although people remember him primarily as Neville, Matthew Lewis did not become an actor of one role, and the list of films with his participation is becoming more and more impressive.
Biography
Matthew was born on June 27, 1989. The actor’s family was large (he turned out to be the third child). Lewis lived in a city called Leeds, but after the birth of the youngest child moved to Horsford. It is noteworthy that the Matthew brothers also chose an acting career.
Education and further education
Matthew Lewis attended St. Mary’s Catholic Volunteer Academy in Manston. He did not continue his studies, deciding to go to work in the cinema and theater.
First movie job
Mother and father constantly drove Matthew to auditions, as did his brothers. By the age of five, Lewis began to appear in episodes of popular television shows. It is amusing that Lewis was among those few actors who read not only the script, but also books about Harry Potter. Matthew Lewis's parents often told how their youngest son loved to play a magician.
For the first time, Lewis appeared on the screen in the series "It's called life", which happened in 1995. Then the actor was barely five years old. Surprisingly, most of Matthew’s roles remain dramatic.
Harry Potter Films
Until now, the role of Neville Dolgopups remains the largest and most memorable for the already famous actor. Few actors, with the exception of those who had the main roles, managed to participate in the filming of all eight films.
The shooting process is not without incident. Harry Potter films were no exception. The Order of the Phoenix was the most traumatic for Matthew. He was damaged by an eardrum using a magic wand. For several days, Lewis did not hear anything with one ear, but everything returned to normal quite quickly, and therefore could not disrupt the filming of the film.
If you wander around the Harry Potter fan forums, you will notice that many fans of the series did not take Neville seriously for most of the films. Everyone changed unexpected changes in the appearance of Matthew Lewis: from a small and clumsy boy, he became not just an adult, but one of the examples of male beauty according to fans of the series.
This especially affected Matthew's character in recent films - in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, where Neville Dolgupups was shown to be a brave and selfless, real Gryffindor.
Other films featuring Matthew Lewis
In 2012, the actor appeared in the series "Syndicate", and after that - in the "Sweet Shop".
Matthew also starred in one of the clips of the British folk group Buriers.
Lewis also played in the Wasteland. Surprisingly, this film was also released in 2012.
In 2016, all lovers of melodramas discussed "See You", where Matthew got the role of Patrick.
