Matt was born to Lynda and Adrian Lewis, the youngest of three
children. He has two older brothers, Chris and Anthony, and one
older foster sister, Cyndi. He also has a nephew, Aiden, who was
born in March of 2006.
Lynda is a magistrate in Leeds, but also serves as Matt’s PA and
chaperone on set. The family had experience with child actors even
before Matt started in the business. Anthony began acting at the
age of nine and most recently was on the television show,
Emmerdale.
Matt, one of the few Potter kids who acted professionally before
being cast in the Potter franchise, debuted in 1995’s Some Kind of
Life playing Jane Horrocks’ son. He also appeared in a handful of
other television shows in the UK.
The young star enjoys reading; he was a fan of the books before
being cast as Neville. He admits to dressing up as Harry and
running around his room pretending he was a wizard.
Now that he is a wizard, he’s gotten many opportunities such as
traveling the world for different fan events and premieres. Matt
crossed the States with Devon Murray and the Phelps twins,
promoting the Potter series at Comicon conventions. He also
represented his fellow cast mates at the Armageddon Sci-Fi and
Comics Convention in Auckland, Australia.
When not on set, he attends St. Mary’s Comprehensive School. He
was happy with his AS Level scores. He received two Bs and two Cs
in Theology, English Language, Psychology and General Studies. He
plans on taking three A Levels before moving on to get a degree.
Though his future after the Potter films conclude isn’t set, this
boy from Leeds has been very fortunate so far. He landed the role
of Neville after auditioning in an open casting call in Leeds.
Most actors refer to these as “cattle calls” because it is very
difficult to get the attention of a casting director when thrown
in the mix with hundreds of other actors reading for the same
parts.
It proved successful for Matt, though, and he’s been enjoying his
success ever since. He's been awarded many opportunities including
attending many events for the Potter team such as taking part in
Queen Elizabeth’s 80th Birthday celebration at Buckingham Palace.
His future looks very bright, indeed.
