Billions Season 4 gave us a lot to talk about. Not least of which is Bobby Axelrod’s progression as a character. Join me as I look at some ways that Damian has left his unique mark on this character.

Spy Wars with Damian Lewis: Here Is All We Know About Damian’s First Factual TV Program
“Spy craft is incredibly low-fi. There are exotic words like âdead dropâ and âbrush passâ but it literally means you waking into a supermarket with the same Sainsburyâs carrier bag as me and us leaving with each otherâs bags â youâve seen it in a thousand thriller movies.” – Damian Lewis
The long wait is over! Spy Wars with Damian Lewis is coming to the Smithsonian Channel, a joint venture between CBS and the Smithsonian Institute on March 22!
A+E Networks and Royal Television Society (RTS) jointly held a special screening of Spy Wars followed by a Q&A with the brains behind the project before the series premiered on History Channel UK. And thanks to Tsvetanka, a great friend and a wonderful fan, attending the screening and recording a good chunk of the Q & A for us, as well as Damian appearing and talking about Spy Wars on Chris Evans Show I know what to talk about when to talk about Spy Wars with Damian Lewis.
Shall we?

Throwback Thursday to Tom Hanks Surprising Damian Lewis on his 30th Birthday
Next Monday is a very special day, well, at least for us: Damian’s Birthday! We will have a Birthday Party for our favorite guy on the blog on Monday but why not kick off the celebrations today with a fun trip back to Damianâs 30th Birthday?
We all know Tom Hanks played a major role in making Damian an internationally known actor. We blogged earlier about how Spielberg and Hanks cast Damian Lewis as Dick Winters in Band of Brothers.
Damian tells Independent that, once he was cast for the role, he had the opportunity to hang out with Steven Spielberg as well as Tom Hanks for a while, and in his own words, got to know, âwhat kids they are.â đ Continue reading “Throwback Thursday to Tom Hanks Surprising Damian Lewis on his 30th Birthday”
From Dick Winters to Steve McQueen: The “American” Damian Lewis
“This sounds absurdly pretentious, but the American Damian, Iâm sort of oddly comfortable with him.” – Damian Lewis
A Guardian article from July 2015 talks about Brits versus Yanks in Hollywood:
“The invasion of British and Irish leading men in Hollywood has now gone beyond a joke for many in the American entertainment industry. First noticed some time in 2011, the trend was initially dismissed as a novelty: an interesting phase that would pass, rather than as a threat. But this summer actors and directors are calling for action to mobilise American drama teachers and schools to counter it.”
So Hollywood has finally taken notice and is now somehow mobilizing to defend its territory against the British invasion đ Well, maybe it is too little too late at this point? I mean, it is not that the Brits are coming, but they have already arrived. Besides, Vanity Fair says “victory is assured” in the video clip below, with fabulous ginger alert at 0:29, about which I blogged about earlier here!
