  • Damian Lewis was a presenter at the awards ceremony for the The Prince’s Trust and RBS ‘Celebrate Success’ campaign. The awards took place tonight at the Odeon Theatre in London’s Leicester Square. Prince Charles attended the event as well as many other public figures including Gwyneth Paltrow and Kevin Spacey.

    » The Celebrate Success program recognizes the accomplishments of young people who have triumphed over disadvantages such as homelessness, drug addiction, poverty, and unemployment. The Daily Mail reported that Damian presented the RBS Community Impact Award to a team of unemployed young people who revived a Second World War memorial garden in Witton, Birmingham. Lewis said:

    “Civilians who died in the World War II heavy bombing were often buried without a permanent tombstone. I think the young people from this Prince’s Trust team did an amazing thing, providing a crucial place for relatives to remember their lost ones.”

  • The BBC News asked six celebrities about their hopes for British Chancellor Alistair Darling’s new government budget, Damian’s response was:

    “I would like to see the government committing less funds to the World Bank, especially whilst the Bank imposes such particular conditions on its loans to developing countries. I’d also like to know what happened to the £14m Network Rail fine. The trains don’t really work, so perhaps a nationwide bicycle network?”

  • Life, the NBC series starring Damian Lewis, continues to generate excitement and gain new fans even though the show is on hiatus and no new episodes will air in the US until next fall.

    » All season one episodes of Life are now available on the NBC/Universal Hulu.com site as well as at NBC.com’s Rewind page.

    » An article about the impact of the screenwriters strike in USA Today includes these comments about Life:

    The break sparked changes. “The strike made us rethink some of where we were going,” says Life executive producer Rand Ravich, who will expand the conspiracy behind the framing of Charlie (Damian Lewis)… But the delay leaves some anxious. “We were just building momentum with the audience, and we feel like that’s being snatched away from us,” says NBC Studios chief Katherine Pope of Life. “It was frustrating that we couldn’t capitalize.”

  • A preview-screening of The Escapist featuring Damian Lewis took place in London last night; this blogger’s coments about the film include:

    “…I was literally on the edge of my seat. With most scenes played out within the dingy walls of an ageing London prison, or in the abandoned tunnels of the Underground, it’s a dark film, but a great one. I wouldn’t agree with it’s IMDb genre rating of a ‘Thriller’ but it’s definitely not for the faint hearted. And with a nice little twist at the end, it’s one to watch out for…”
