Jason Lewis will not be reprising his role as Smith Jerrod in the upcoming Sex and the City reboot series.

In an interview with the Daily Front Row, the 50-year-old actor said was asked if he had been approached to return to the HBO franchise. 

'I have not, but I would be the last to know!' the Charmed star said. He added, 'As much as I appreciate the flattery, the conversation is about the girls.' Filming for the revival is set to begin later this spring.

Jason's character was a young waiter and aspiring actor who was seduced by series lead Samantha Jones, played by Kim Cattrall, 64.

Samantha, who convinced him to change his name from Jerry Jerrod to Smith, used her PR connections to land him a major modeling gig which led to a film role.

Their relationship, which started off as casual, later turned serious after he supported Samantha through her battle with breast cancer.

When the series ended in 2004, the couple were still together and in love. However, Jason played Smith again in 2008's Sex and the City: The Movie and the two characters broke up after Samantha moved to Los Angeles.

Jason returned for the 2010 sequel Sex And The City 2 and it appeared that Smith and Samantha were still on good terms as he invited her to be his date to his new action film's premiere.

However, when asked if the characters still be together now, Lewis said he doubted it.

'Umm, no. I don't,' he said. 'But I think they'd still like each other!'

It is not too surprising that Lewis will not be back since Cattrall is also not returning for the reboot due to an alleged feud with her costars, Sarah Jessica Parker, 56, Kristin Davis, 56, and Cynthia Nixon, 55. The series centered on the four women's close friendship but apparently all was not well behind the scenes.

The description for the ten part series left Cattrall's character out entirely. The statement from HBO read that it will  'follow Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte as they navigate the journey from the complicated reality of life and friendship in their 30s to the even more complicated reality of life and friendship in their 50s.'

In addition to the SATC franchise, Jason has also acted in other popular shows including Beverly Hills, 90210, House, Brothers & Sisters and How I Met Your Mother as well as several films.

Lewis, who recently signed with Soul Artist Management, also spoke to the Daily Front Row about making his modeling comeback at 50.

'I'd been going to some fashion shows pre-COVID, which really reawakened my love of the industry by being around that creativity,' he said. 'I started thinking in those terms, and I became more interested...'

In late 2019, the actor proposed to his girlfriend, producer Liz Godwin. The couple are planning a fall 2021 wedding.

He opened up about the proposal in a February 2020 interview with People magazine. 

'To keep Liz from suspecting anything, I organized a climbing [and] beach day out at Point Dume, Malibu, with friends and family gathered for the holidays,' Jason said. 'We set Liz up to climb a cliff right over the water, just before sunset.'

'My buddies and I then sprinted up a back trail to the climb so I could be waiting for her at the top,' he continued. 'I anchored myself to the rock — clipped her to me, just in case — then got on one knee and did 'the thing.''
