Damian Lewis

It is not known where more fans of this outstanding actor live - in his native Britain or on the other side of the Atlantic, where he is filmed today much more often than at home. The main thing is that Damian Lewis himself feels great anywhere, where he will be reincarnated in the next role. And in the fact that it will be a masterpiece, its fans are 100% sure.

Damian Wathen Lewis was born on February 11, 1971 in London, United Kingdom. Father - a successful insurance broker John Lewis, the mother of Charlotte Mary Bowater - a housewife. The Lewis family lived in the upscale St. John's Woods neighborhood. Many consider the actor Irish by nationality because of his fiery red hair color. However, Irish blood is not in the genes of Lewis, his ancestors by his father - the ancient people of the Welsh.

For his mother, marrying John was the second. Damian and his younger brother Gareth were born there. The actor also has older brother William and sister Amanda. The roots of all of Charlotte's children date back to the local nobility - her father Ian Bowater was Lord Mayor of London and a knight of the British Empire.

As is customary in the best houses, Damian was sent to a closed boarding school. Ashdown House in Sussex was ideal for a boy from a noble family - cricket, horseback riding and drama as a few entertainment. Damian sincerely fell in love with participation in theatrical performances, because he, as the owner of a beautiful timbre, was often entrusted with solo parts.

In Sussex, the boy spent 5 years, from there a 13-year-old went to the prestigious Eton College. Here the young man continued his fascination with the stage and soon even created his theater company "Chameleons". Lewis's first production was a Dickens adaptation of Nicholas Nickleby's The Life and Adventures.

And soon Damian announced to his parents that he was going to become a "theatrical sensation." Mr and Mrs Lewis did not stand in the way of their son's decision and blessed him to study at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London. However, he did not go there immediately - a year spent in Africa, where he tried to understand what his purpose in life.

Damian began his career at the Birmingham Repertory Theatre. The fateful role for the young actor was Prince of Denmark in the tragedy "Hamlet", played in the Summer Theatre of Regent's Park. After this work, Lewis was invited to join the troupe of the Royal Shakespeare Company - the crowning glory of every British dramatic actor.

Talented newcomer immediately began to put forward for leading roles. Lewis won the prestigious Jan Charleson Award for his role as Borgheim in Henrik Ibsen's play Little Eiolph.

Back in 1995, Damian made his Broadway debut, playing Laerte in Rafe Fiennes' Hamlet. The game of the young Briton was noticed by Steven Spielberg, who contributed to Lewis' success in Hollywood.

In 2000, the master invited him to his TV series "Brothers in Arms." By then, Damien had only one American job in the piggy bank- in the adventure film "Robinson Crusoe" (1997) starring Pierce Brosnan. So the Briton is filmed in the project that made him world famous. In Steven Spielberg's war drama, shown on HBO, he played Major Richard Winters, a World War II hero. For this work, the actor received the Golden Globe Award for best male actor.

From 2002 to 2003, Damian played in the British TV series The Forsyth Saga, which tells the story of several generations of the same family. Lewis's hero Soms Forsyth is an imperious, conceited aristocrat for whom nothing is more important than his own interests. Critics have responded without breath about the series, but Damian's game was called a "permanent miracle."

A new work in Hollywood was the picture "Dream catcher", based on the works of Stephen King. The character of Lewis - one of 4 friends who, having left for vacation, suddenly get into the quarantine zone. They have to survive the invasion of aliens in the form of giant worms.

In 2004, a handsome (height of the actor 186 cm) Briton starred in the film "Brides", produced by Martin Scorsese. The main character Of Nicky sails on the "ship of brides" among 700 girls who have become brides by correspondence and go to America to future husbands and a new life. But on the ship, Nicky meets photographer Norman, played by Lewis, and falls in love with him.

Fans were delighted to hear of Damien's new appearance on the small screen in the crime drama Life as a Sentence, which aired on TV from 2007 to 2009. Damian's hero - police officer Charlie Cruz, who served 12 years for an imperfect murder. After a review of his case, he received compensation and reinstated him. Now he has a purpose in life - to find those who set him up.

The star-studded role overtakes the actor in 2011. Lewis is confirmed in the TV project "Homeland" and three seasons in a row plays former Marine scout Nicholas Brody. After returning from the captivity of al-qaeda (prohibited in the territory of the Russian Federation), the officer is suspected of treason and working on the enemy side. But whether it is so, it remains to be seen his partner - CIA employee Carrie Mattison.

For this role, the actor in 2012 was awarded an Emmy Award and nominated for a Golden Globe. And in 2013 he is waiting not for a nomination, but a confident victory. During his time in Homeland, he also directed two home films, The Flying Squad of Scotland Yard and Romeo and Juliet.

In 2016, the actor's filmography is replenished with another successful project. The series "Billions" - an ambitious project of Brian Koppelman, which tells the story of the clash of two "heavyweights" of New York, standing on opposite sides of the barricades: billionaire Robert (Bobby) Axelrod (Damien Lewis) and prosecutor Chuck Rhoades (Paul Giamatti).

Charismatic actor, a fine connoisseur of female beauty, in his youth attributed novels with many beauties of Hollywood. One of them was the star of the TV series "Sex and the City" Kristin Davis.

As a true gentleman, Lewis never commented on his personal life or gave an interview about this chapter of the biography. Only the story of his love for British actress Helen McCrory he is ready to repeat endlessly.

They met back in 2003, when they began to act together in a theatrical production of "Five Golden Rings" at London's Almeida Theatre. The director of this performance later recalled that he "clearly saw a spark running between them." Helen, the daughter of a diplomat, intelligent, intelligent, self-sufficient, conquered the heart of the aristocrat, even being 3 years older than him.

The couple married in July 2007, having already become parents to young daughter Manon (September 2006), and in November 2007 their son Gulliver was born. The actor's wife and children live in London and are looking forward to their father with the next American filming.

Fans should not look for Lewis on Instagram, the artist prefers to communicate and share photos with friends and colleagues only on Twitter.

The Briton is currently filming for Season 4 of The Bevds, which kicked off in March 2019.

Also this year, Damien made his debut for cult director quentin Tarantino in the film "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood." In the film, which is based on real historical events, the man played his colleague - a movie actor, auto-driver Steve McKuin.
