Damian lewis was born IN england, raised in England but so good at doing an American Accent many people believed he was not from Britain.

Damian Lewis is awesome because he is a cop, an ranga and has many million dollars and has dreams about what he should spend the money on (altghough if he met me i think i sure could think of some things he could do with that money). Life is one of my favorite tv shows and i know that only recognising him from Life is terrible but he is the only reason i started watching it...and i will get into more of his shows and plays and everything. I did love him in Stormbreaker though he was beyond my favourite character.

I had never heard of Damian Lewis when I watched him in "Band of Brothers" as the heroic leader of Easy Company. I never would have thought of him as British, his accent was that convincing. Then I saw him on PBS in "The Forsyte Saga" and was...

I had never heard of Damian Lewis when I watched him in "Band of Brothers" as the heroic leader of Easy Company. I never would have thought of him as British, his accent was that convincing. Then I saw him on PBS in "The Forsyte Saga" and was astounded. Currently he is starring in "Life" on NBC again without his accent. The role of the quirky Charlie Crews is another departure for him from his past roles. I always judge acting ability on the believability of the portrayal. Another key is the actor's range. John Wayne was always John Wayne. His reading seldom varied. Damian Lewis is one of countless actors who varies his delivery from role to role.

I am reviewing him on Band of Brothers alone as I have not seen him in anything else. He instantly became one of my favorite actors for what he did in this movie. Playing Frank Winters in Band of Brothers had to be hard to do for a British born...

I am reviewing him on Band of Brothers alone as I have not seen him in anything else. He instantly became one of my favorite actors for what he did in this movie. Playing Frank Winters in Band of Brothers had to be hard to do for a British born actor. I had no idea he was British until way after I watched the mini series. I have seen the real Frank Winters do interviews about Band of Brothers and it was scary how much Lewis' voice sounded like the real Winters. He brought to me a real sense of what WW2 was like through his acting.
