Once you’ve played in a well-known movie series, you will always be reminded of it. No one will ever separate Tobey Maguire from his role as Spider-Man again, and Elijah Wood will always be tied to Frodo Baggins for the rest of his life.
And of course everyone will always keep calling Daniel Radcliffe Harry Potter, but other actors will also remain attached to their part in the Potter films. For example Matthew Lewis .
Matthew Lewis will forever be Neville Longbottom
Born in 1989, Lewis is still seen as the actor who played Neville Longbottom and that frustrates him.
“I still get frustrated to some extent when people say, ‘Oh, he’s no longer Neville Longbottom.’ And then I think, “I haven’t been that for 10 years.” And I’ve done things that are much different, ” Lewis said on the Inside of You podcast with Michael Rosenbaum.
“For example, I’ve been in BAFTA-winning dramas and things like that. It’s 10 years later and it’s still like people claim I owe everything to Harry Potter and the rest are completely ignored,” adds Lewis. .
“That can be frustrating – not that I’m frustrated with anything Harry Potter – but it’s like you have a voice in your head saying, ‘Hey, you know has done, ” said the actor. “Nobody cares. They still think this is the first job I’ve done since Harry Potter.”
