Callum Scott Howells on BBC drama The Way, coming to the West End, and how he wants to 'do a Ryan Reynolds'

Acting projects are like buses for Callum Scott Howells right now: nothing for ages and then three come along at once. Having stolen our hearts as sweet, unassuming Colin in It’s a Sin, before breaking them as he was cruelly claimed by Aids, "it’s just so nice to have something out there again" he tells me.

And what a slate it is. In May, he begins previews in the West End revival of the Arthur Miller classic A View from the Bridge at the Theatre Royal Haymarket. Next month, he takes to the field for Beautiful Game, a Netflix movie about the Homeless World Cup. And tomorrow, his new TV drama The Way, directed by co-star Michael Sheen and following a family caught up in a civil uprising in Port Talbot, Wales, starts on BBC One.

Talking to me from his home in, who plays the leading role of Eddie Carbone.
