A Harry Potter favourite has an unlikely link to Emmerdale.
Matthew Lewis who played Neville Longbottom in the world-famous film series hails from Leeds. While Matthew is known to many, some might not recall his older brother had a four-year stint in Emmerdale.
Anthony Lewis started acting at the age of nine where he bagged a role in A Touch of Frost. As our colleagues at MyLondon report, Anthony got his big break at the age of 16 when he played Marc Reynolds in Emmerdale.

He joined the soap in 1999 with the rest of the Reynolds family - mum and dad Sean and Angie, and younger sister Ollie.
Arguably, his biggest storyline was Marc losing his virginity to Donna Windsor - they were caught out by Viv Windsor.
The entire family was axed from the show four years later when Stephen McGann decided to leave his role as dad Sean, as the producers decided the family wouldn’t work without him.
Marc Reynolds returned to Emmerdale briefly in 1997. Since leaving the soap, Anthony Lewis has appeared in The Syndicate, Casualty, Holby City and Ackley Bridge.
While, younger brother Matthew Lewis, a huge Leeds United fan, has enjoyed roles in Happy Valley, The Syndicate and the reboot of All Creatures Great and Small.
