Because you keep asking us. Thank you very much.”

- The Star Ledger featured an article about the Television Critics Summer Press Tour including these comments about the Life panel with Damian Lewis:
Like Hugh Laurie, Lewis’ American accent (which he also showed off as the star of “Band of Brothers”) is flawless, and I asked him whether it was hard to do. He answered by seamlessly shifting back and forth between his American and British voices while discussing his dialogue coach, how he often stays in American mode here even while not acting, etc. As if to prove the point of how well Lewis does the accent, co-star Adam Arkin followed with a terrible Cockney-voiced, “I have to say that was absolutely extraordinary!” - Vote for Damian Lewis as the Hello! Most Attractive Man of the Month!
