Articles Anthony Lewis



Tommy Brockless, is a young soldier from the First World War who having been shell shocked and cryogenically preserved in the Torchwood vaults for almost a century, is brought back to life one day a year to be routinely checked over and made ready for when he is needed to save the world.  Tommy has to return to 1918 in order to stop time from splitting bringing events of his era into the present.  But as he returns to St Teilo hospital he forgets his mission as his shell shock and post traumatic stress disorder returns and although he carries the Rift Key to bed with him, he is unsure what it is or what it does.  It takes for Toshiko to tap into that time and locate Tommy and encourage him to turn the Rift Key and close that particular rift.

Anthony Lewis, born 31st March 1983 in Leeds, West Yorkshire is the middle brother of Chris, and Matthew, who you may remember seeing in Harry Potter as Neville Longbottom, he also has a foster sister, Cyndi. 

Anthony began his acting career at the age of 9, and has been involved in many television dramas, stage plays and films, such as ‘Cracker’ (1995), ‘Heartbeat’ (1994), ‘Children’s Ward’ to name but a few.  Anthony played the lead role in ‘My Dad’s a Boring Nerd (1997) which led to him landing the full time role of Marc Reynolds in Emmerdale, which kept him in the series for 4 years.  After leaving Emmerdale Anthony took on a challenging role at the Tristan Bates Theatre in London’s West End in Broken Voices before returning to our screens in ‘Dalziel & Pascoe (2004 ) and Respectable (2006 ) before appearing in the multi-award winning feature film Boy A (2007 ), from here Anthony played the lead role of Tommy Brockless in Torchwood (2008). 

Anthony is currently filming in Cardiff for Casualty, so look out for him.

As well as acting, Anthony also has a flair for music having been in a band called The Good Die Young back in Leeds, but he left that to pursue his acting career that took him onto Torchwood and Boy A.
