Wow,how did I forget to upload pics of Damian and Helen at The Old Vic’s 24 Hour Plays after-party this past Sunday? (FAIL!) Click here at the gallery for the 2 pics I’m sure most of you have seen. Helen McCrory performed in the 24 Hour Plays event earlier that evening. Click here to read about the event and here for video. Damian and Helen aren’t in the video, but it’s interesting to see all the actors who are!

“The Escapist hooks from the beginning by making clever use of a fractured narrative, cutting between the breakout itself and the build up to it. Hence, it poses questions about its central characters that are only answered as the film progresses. It also tips its hat to established genre rules without necessarily copying them for exploitative thrills… (Brian) Cox almost inevitably emerges with the most credit… But there’s strong support from the likes of Fiennes, as a volatile bruiser; Lewis, as a softly spoken killer, and Cooper, as the youngster clearly out of his depth.
(Director) Wyatt also maintains a good pace and seldom opts for the predictable, a ploy that keeps the film in surprisingly good nick for a clever twist ending that most viewers won’t have seen coming.
So, for those seeking an expert mix of Prison Break-style thrills and Shawshank Redemption-inspired male bonding, The Escapist offers plenty of both. It is, to coin a phrase, a cracking piece of escapism.”
“The second season is coming out in spring on Disney and so far we have Peep Show’s David Mitchell, actor Damian Lewis and Matthew Horne from Gavin and Stacey to do voiceovers. Lewis will voice a new character, Agent 000, who shows up in England when character Perry is on assignment. Mitchell voices Big Mitch, an intergalactic poacher over a two-part episode and Horne will voice a Christmas special.”
