Damian Lewis mini-bio: Damian Lewis was raised by his parents, Watcyn and Charlotte Lewis, on Abbey Road in London until the age of 8 with his siblings Gareth, William and Amanda. In 1979, he was sent to Ashdown House boarding school, then was educated at Eton College. At the age of 16 he formed his own theatre company, then worked in South London, then traveled around Africa. From 1990-1993 he studied at Guildhall School of Music and Drama alongside Daniel Craig and Joseph Fiennes. Among his teachers was Colin McCormack, then actor of the Royal Shakespeare Company. Lewis graduated in 1993, and served as a stage actor for the Royal Shakespeare Company. There he was seen by director Steven Spielberg, who subsequently cast him as Richard Winters in the HBO/BBC mini-series 'Band of Brothers' (2001), for which he won the Golden Globe Award and had other nominations. Lewis continued his career in a number of films and TV productions.

Hey! Anyone else out there seen "Keane"? If not, watch it when it comes out on DVD because this showcases Lewis' talent to extreme levels.
If you have, please discuss...
