- Spoiler warning! Alan Sepinwall of the New Jersey Star Ledger reported on plans for re-launching US sophomore television dramas that were interrupted last year in mid-season due to the writers strike. One of the shows that will be re-introduced is Life starring Damian Lewis:
“We are re-launching the show,” says “Life” creator Rand Ravich. “Our episode one this season is a sort of pilot. If you have never seen the show before, you can come to this episode one and be thrown into the world and not be left behind and be instantly up to date with everything that’s happening.”
…Even in a dozen episodes or less, each show established enough of an ongoing storyline that the creators are taking extra care to explain things for newcomers and/or to refresh the memories of people who watched the abbreviated first seasons. Ravich has joked that the first “Previously, on ‘Life’” will take up the entire season premiere.
…Befitting his main character, Zen koan-spouting LAPD detective Charlie Crews (Damian Lewis), “Life” creator Ravich describes the lessons of season one in philosophical terms. “I found out that you really need to trust the character. You cannot force the character into situations where you think it would play. You cannot force the character into something where you go, ‘Oh, this will be a morality tale or whatever.’ You need to let the character grow. You need to be on Charlie Crews’ side. ‘Oh, I’m just out of prison, I’m unsprung, I’ve got all this money, I can say anything to anyone that I want, I’ve got this ex-wife.’ You need to let those circumstances drive the character and not force him into jerry-rigged circumstances that you or the studio or the network think would be fun. You need to let him drive the show.”
…Several of the series have undergone cast changes between seasons… Donal Logue joins the cast of “Life” as Crews’ new boss in an attempt to lighten Lewis’ workload (Robin Weigert, who had been playing the boss, will appear from time to time in a new capacity.)
- In “What They Saw” episode 1.04 of Life, actor William Sanderson played Holt Easley, a homeless man befriended by Damian Lewis’s character Charlie Crews; according to the latest issue of TV Guide there are no plans at this time for Sanderson to repeat the role for season 2.

- The new blu-ray DVD for Band of Brothers will be released in the UK on November 10th and is now available for pre-order.

Spoiler warning! This (very funny) video reveals information about season 2 of Life!
- Thanks to Ryanne from The Bakery for finding this hilarious TV Guide video interview with Damian Lewis and Sarah Shahi at the recent NBC All-Star Party discussing their wonderful television series Life (among other things!) The entire interview is really funny and Damian’s slightly-tipsy, mute imitation of an angry football player is not to be missed!
- In an article about the impact of the recent television writers strike Christopher Lawrence of the Las Vegas Review Journal quotes Life’s executive producer Rand Ravich:
“If you have never seen the show before,” says Rand Ravich, creator of NBC’s quirky detective series “Life,” “you can come to this episode one and be thrown into the world and not be left behind and be instantly up to date with everything that’s happening.”
- A report about the Television Critic Association’s Summer Press Tour from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch says that Valerie Harper will play Charlie Crews’s Mother in season 2 of Life (possibly in flashbacks since Charlie’s Mother is deceased and his Dad is getting remarried!)
- The Baker starring and produced by Damian Lewis will be released in North America on region 1 DVD on August 12th and is now available for preorder from Canada at PlayUSA and ZipCA.
- The Baker will be released in Australia on September 18th on region 4 DVD (Australia, New Zealand, Pacific Islands, Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean) and is now available for preorder. The film is currently available for rent in Australia.
- The Situation starring Damian Lewis is now available for sale or rent on region 4 DVD in Australia.

- Damian Lewis, Ewan McGregor, Orlando Bloom, and other alumni and students of the Guildhall School of Music & Drama joined together to honor actor and drama teacher Ken Rea for his thirty years as a member of the faculty…
For Damian Lewis the word “generosity” sums up Ken, “In his teaching and in his insisting that actors should first and foremost be generous on stage: it wafted around sweaty rehearsal rooms like a soothing balm.”
(Ken Rea sounds like a remarkable man and individuals appreciative of Damian Lewis’s excellent acting technique and skill also send thanks and congratulations to him.)
- Spoiler warning for season 2 of Life starring Damian Lewis!
» Episode 2.06 of Life is titled “Did You Feel That?” Click here for an excerpt from the show’s script.
» Mickey O’Connor, Sr. Editor for TV Guide had this to say about season 2 of Life:
“A lot of fans scratched their heads when Crews (Damian Lewis) tracked down the real murderer in the season finale. Where do you go from there? I’m told that Season 2, which bows on Sept. 29, makes it clear that the murderer was just a hired hand. The real forces of evil have yet to be revealed. Also, count on getting four new episodes in Life’s first two weeks back, as NBC doubles-up with airings Monday and Friday at 10 pm/ET.”
