Movie actor Damian Lewis was born on February 11, 1971 in London, England. Until the age of eight, Damien lived in this city with his family. The actor has two brothers and a sister.
After graduation, the young man entered Eton College and, when Damien was sixteen years old, a radical change occurred in his personal outlook: he suddenly and very seriously became interested in theater. Damian Lewis is a guy with a very active nature, restless, he independently created his own theater group, which very actively began to tour in London, and then went to perform in other countries.
After graduating from college, Damian decided to pursue his future career in the world of theater and film. To do this, he entered the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and continued his successful acting career.
In 2001, the talented actor was noticed by the famous director Steven Spielberg and invited him to shoot in the series “Brothers in arms”. It was a trial of filming. Spielberg wanted to test Lewis’s professionalism, strengths and weaknesses in acting.
A little arrogant, expressive Damian, who never hid his disdain for television, could not refuse the famous director, and eventually he was accepted into the cast.
The debut was stunning. For the beautifully played role of Richard Winters, Lewis was nominated for a Golden Globe Award.
In 2002, the actor was approved for the main role in the film The Forsyte Saga directed by Christopher Menol and Dave Moore. Damian played Soames Forsyth perfectly. The charm of the actor, his honest and direct look, red-haired curls captivated the tired and spoiled viewer. Lewis masterfully was able to convey the spirit of the past, his slowness in dialogue, smiles, gestures, literally conquered the viewer.
In 2003, the actor starred in the fantastic thriller “Dreamcatcher”, Lawrence Kasdan, where he again perfectly played his role.
In 2004, Lewis was approved for the lead role in In the Hands of God, where he professionally conveys the serious experiences of a father who suddenly lost his daughter. Against the background of these inhuman experiences, he began to develop schizophrenia.
In the film by Stuart Orme “Escape from the Castle of Colditz”, the actor truly enters the image of a young officer who is in the historical time of World War II.
Among the most striking works of Damien Lewis can be noted films “Situation”, “Lie to the bottom in Gwinfeed”, “Escape”. /
