Damian Lewis, An Englishman in New York, 2016 Edition
You know the worst thing about being a hardcore fan is the dry spells, these times when the object of your fandom is hard at work, filming, and no where to be seen. You’ve already watched most of his entire oeuvre, some of it many times over. And there is nothing to fill the void. Particularly egregious for such a time to come as we are also mired in the sludge of arguably the worst election of recent history, when the worst possible words and images are assaulting us from all our screens on a daily basis. Wherefore humanity? Wherefore truth and beauty? Wherefore art? And alas, wherefore Damian?
But, you know the best thing about such times is that we have you, dear fans, posting your sightings and run-ins. And we have dear Damian himself graciously posing for pics with you, his dear fans. So we bring you what has become an annual post: Our Englishman in New York.

Our Kind of Traitor on iTunes now
Hankering to see a great le Carre thriller with Damian in a great role? The wait is over! Our Kind of Traitor is available on iTunes now and will be out on Amazon and Netflix on October 18. Sweet!
I had the good fortune to see the film when it was shown at Seattle Film Festival earlier this year. And here’s my review! Some spoilers, but nothing that’ll interfere with you wanting to see it for yourself.
Damian Lewis as Steve McQueen, Revisited
The most bittersweet thing about fandom is that for all the imagining you do, visualizing your fav in roles you’d love to see him in and even writing fanfic (if only in your head) putting him into new and interesting situations no writer on the payroll ever thought of, chances are pretty high that your dream for your boo will never come to pass. There’s a machine at work making projects happen or not happen, a machine that responds to (or shrinks beneath the weight of) a lot more stresses than just the wishes of ardent fans. So, it has perhaps come to pass with the subject of this post. Since I first wrote this, chances have possibly become slimmer that the powers that be will ever get their requisite ducks in a row to make this happen. Still, Damian Lewis as Steve McQueen is a pretty picture, one not easy for a fan to let go of. Continue reading “Damian Lewis as Steve McQueen, Revisited”
