(Picture: Muse)Harry Potter star Tom Felton is making his West End debut, 28 years after last appearing on stage.
The actor, who played Draco Malfoy in the hit films, will appear in 2.22 - A Ghost Story at the Criterion Theatre.
He said: “I’m incredibly excited about getting to play in 2:22. I first started acting age 6 in a local theatre group and I haven’t trodden the boards since.
“I love the play, I’ve taken all my family to see it & everyone leaves with a smile. I’m thrilled to be part of this summers cast and will have a lot of fun with it.”
This is the third cast to carry on the show with Felton taking the role of Sam, whose wife played by Doctor Who star Mandip Gill is convinced their new home is haunted.
Gill replaces Giovanna Fletcher in the role which was originally played by Lily Allen.
The show, written by Danny Robins, has already played to sell-out audiences at the Noel Coward Theatre and the Gielbud Theatre and starts its latest run on May 7 until September 4.
Director Matthew Dunster said: “Planning our third iteration of 2:22 has been just as exciting as the first two; working with Danny and my Co-Director, Isabel Mar, and our brilliant casting directors to re-imagine the characters once more.
“It’s such a privilege to do that and to know audiences are excited about ‘who’s next?’ We have a wonderful cast that once again is loaded with surprise, excitement and West End debuts. People love watching this show and we love making it.”
