James Hathaway is the Detective Sergeant working under Inspector Lewis in the ITV detective series "Lewis" (known as "Inspector Lewis" in the United States). He is played by Laurence Fox.

Biography

Hathaway like Inspector Morse, Lewis' old boss from his days as a Detective Sergeant, is cerebral. Unlike Morse, Hathaway is a Cambridge graduate, trained in Theology. He joined the police after giving up training for the priesthood, and sometimes expresses scepticism about religion - on one occasion when Lewis states thankfully "There "is" a god", Hathaway replies "If I was sure of that...I wouldn't have joined the police force" (in the episode "And the Moonbeams Kiss the Sea").

In the third episode of the second series ("Life Born of Fire") his guilt at sharing the homophobic attitudes of some of his fellow trainees is revealed when he discovers that a suicide he is investigating is a former friend, Will McEwan, who broke off his friendship with him when Hathaway urged him to reject his homosexuality.

In "Life Born of Fire" he refuses to answer Lewis's direct question as to whether or not he is gay, though at the end of the episode in a conversation with Zoe Kenneth he both implies that he has had homosexual feelings and that he wants to have sexual intercourse with her (after admitting that "it's been a while" since he has had sex). Hathaway berates Lewis for drawing a "neat dividing line" between heterosexuals who "read Loaded and eat Yorkie bars" and homosexuals who like fashion and musicals. At the end of that episode Hathaway is seen holding a copy of Loaded and a Yorkie bar. [ [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1192517/ IMDB Entry for "Life Born of Fire"] ]
