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.
