So it is no wonder that Damian’s musical side – from Damian playing the guitar to Damian doing Karaoke to Damian loving to sing and dance – has inspired her as she thought about the dream role she would like to cast him in. Huge thanks go to Mimi for taking the time to write her deeply personal “dream role” story. ENJOY! Continue reading “Perfect Musical Partner: Mimi’s Dream Role for Damian Lewis”

So Donna Tartt sums up her beloved and layered novel “The Goldfinch”. The actor to whom this website is devoted could be described by these very words. Beloved and layered. I’m well aware that an effort was made to transfer the novel to the big screen. The result was beautiful but shallow.
