Detailed Biographes:

Lee Williams
Ewan

Lee Williams joins the cast as Ewan, Head of English and unwitting heartthrob. The merger with Wattkins Comp results in Bob (Lloyd McGuire) losing his position of power to the much younger and better-looking Ewan. But since Bob has reinvented himself as “New Bob” and now claims to be laid back, cool and one of the lads, the demotion shouldn’t be a problem or will it.

“Ewan is a likeable guy, who always tries to do the right thing, but somehow he usually manages to get it wrong. He mishandles his first meeting with Bob quite spectacularly. Then later in the series, a friendly chat with Bob’s fiancée backfires and results in the worst possible outcome for Ewan. It is clear Bob hates Ewan, and wants him sacked. And because Ewan is quite gullible, he tends to fall for all of Bob’s tricks.” But what Bob hasn’t bargained for in his bid to get Ewan sacked, is that Clare (Gillian Bevan) rather fancies her chances with her sexy Head of English. “Ewan seems to be completely oblivious to the fact that his female colleagues fancy him, and has no idea why. In some ways, he’s quite innocent, which actually gets him into a lot of trouble.”

While Ben (Mathew Horne) and Damien (Daon Broni) are childishly ignoring their new colleagues, Ewan is breaking the rules by being friendly and welcoming, even telling Penny (Tamzin Malleson) and Lindsay (Vicky Hall) where smokers’ corner is and what pub they drink in.

A former model, Lee Williams is probably best remembered as Jon Forsyte in ITV1’s recent remake of The Forsyte Saga. He has also appeared in a number of feature films including Me without You, Lena, Billy Elliott and Falling. His television credits include the 4Learning drama Losing It; Murder in Suburbia; The Debt; Boyz Unlimited; Urban Gothic and Love Is a Many Splintered Thing. On stage he has appeared in Sexual Perversity in Chicago, Tartuffe and Loot.
