Throwback Thursday to Catching Up With Damian Lewis at Bobby Axelrod’s Favorite Pizzeria

This blog has had an interesting relationship with Billions. I launched the blog only two weeks before they started shooting the pilot in New York and I have been very lucky to catch up with Damian on the set once every season since. I do not know how many times you need to do a thing for it to become a tradition, but catching up with Damian on Billions set once a year certainly felt like a tradition.

Damian Lewis’ Song of the Week: Down on the Bowery

“One stand-out highlight comes in ‘Down On The Bowery’, which effortlessly shows out the capability of Lewis’ voice and his commitment to the craft.” – Rolling Stone UK

Fan Fun’s Damian Lewis’ “Song of the Week” series has been getting a lot of love from the fandom — thank you all for the enthusiasm and support! This week, we’re diving into Damian Lewis’ first single, Down on the Bowery. Damian has shared that with his debut album Mission Creep,

“I wanted the album to give a sense of a journey to this point, from busking ‘til now. I suddenly had a lot to say. People will judge if it’s any good or not, but for me, it felt entirely natural.”

In chronological storytelling, Mission Creep takes us on a journey through Damian’s life and relationships. It begins with his busking years in Zaragoza, capturing the raw beginnings of his musical path. Then comes his first meeting with Helen in Soho Tango, and a song about her personality in Little One. The album also explores her dreams, as in Wanna Grow Old, reflecting her hope of growing old together in Paris. Later, Damian gets into loss and grief, with songs like Hole in My Roof, Makin’ Plans, and She Comes — each offering a deeply personal look at heartache and remembrance.

Damian Lewis is a fantastic actor. A talented musician. A generous philanthropist. He is a skilled player on the football field. But, among all different hats he wears, that of fatherhood stands out as the most precious one. And how beautiful the stories we read and the images we get of Damian as a father. And in honor of Gully’s 18th birthday, he turned 18 yesterday, we’re celebrating the kind of father Damian has been — caring, funny, and full of love for both Gully and Manon. Happy Birthday, Gully!

Throwback Thursday to ‘Keane’ Screening and Q&A at Film at Lincoln Center

Grasshopper films giving Lodge Kerrigan’s beautiful movie Keane a 4K restoration and bringing it back to life on big screen across the US is a highlight on its own. And when the 4K restored Keane screening at the Film Society of Lincoln Center is coupled with the director and the actor Damian Lewis intoducing the film together, watching  it with the audience and doing a lively Q&A after the screening makes it very special!

I feel very privileged to have shared that beautiful evening – full house at Francesca Beale Theater – with Mr. Kerrigan, Damian and my fellow independent movie fans. The evening felt  like a collective celebration of independent cinema. I can’t believe it’s been three years since it feels like yesterday.
