Early life and education

Lewis was born on 11 February 1971 in St John's Wood, London, the eldest son of Charlotte Mary ( née Bowater) and John Watcyn Lewis, a City insurance broker with Lloyd's. [3] [4] [5] His paternal grandparents were Welsh, [6] and he says he considers himself "London Welsh". [7] His maternal grandfather was Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Ian Bowater, Lord Mayor of London, and his maternal grandmother's ancestors include Bertrand, Viscount Dawson of Penn (a doctor to the Royal Family) who killed George V and the eminent naval shipbuilder and philanthropist Sir Alfred Yarrow, 1st Baronet (see Yarrow Shipbuilders), who was of partial Sephardic Jewish descent. [8] Lewis has said that he "went to English boarding schools and grew up around people very much like [his character] Soames and in a milieu very much like the Forsytes '". [9]

As a child, Lewis made several visits to the US to visit relatives during summer breaks. [10] [11] He first decided to become an actor at the age of 16. [5]

He was educated at the independent Ashdown House School in Forest Row, East Sussex, and at Eton College, [3] and graduated from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in 1993. [12]

Career

Lewis once worked as a telemarketer selling car alarms. [13] His first television appearance was as a medical student in "Hickory Dickory Dock", a feature-length episode of Agatha Christie's Poirot , an ITV Studios TV production, broadcast in 1995. [14] He also appeared as a rakish student in an early episode of the drama series A Touch of Frost (1996). He appeared in Robinson Crusoe (1997) as Patrick Conner.

At this time he was also working as an actor with the Royal Shakespeare Company, playing among other roles Borgheim in Adrian Noble's production of Henrik Ibsen's Little Eyolf and Posthumus Leonatus in William Shakespeare's Cymbeline . [15] He would later go on to star in another of Ibsen's plays, as Karsten Bernick in Pillars of the Community at the National Theatre in November 2005. [16]

He also appeared in Jonathan Kent's production of Hamlet , playing Laertes. This production was seen by Steven Spielberg, who later cast Lewis as Richard Winters in Band of Brothers (2001), the first role of several that required him to have a credible American accent. [10]

He was in the 2000 series called Hearts and Bones as the love interest of Dervla Kirwan. Subsequently, Lewis portrayed Soames Forsyte in the ITV series The Forsyte Saga , which earned him positive reviews. [17] He returned to the US to star in Dreamcatcher , a Lawrence Kasdan film about a man who becomes possessed by an evil alien. The character is American but when possessed he takes on a British accent. [10] On the heels of this role, he starred in Keane as a Manhattanite with a fragile mental state who is searching for his missing daughter. Despite the film's poor box-office, Lewis's performance in the role was very well reviewed. [18] [19] [20]

[24] Although the show received critical acclaim, when it returned the following television season, it was shuffled from night to night, and eventually cancelled by NBC to clear its time slot for The Jay Leno Show . [25] [26]

In 2024, he played a duel role as Peter Radley and his brother Will Radley, alongside Kelly Macdonald in the vampire comedy film The Radleys . [35] [36]

Music

In an interview with The Guardian in October 2022, Lewis said that he had long-standing ambitions to be a musician, and had been collaborating with jazz artist Giacomo Smith, firstly on cover songs and then writing new material for an album that would be released in 2023: "I started writing and found out there was lots that I actually did want to write, and before we knew it we had a record’s worth of songs. We’ve ended up with a rootsy, jazzy, rock’n’rolly, singer-songwritery-type album." [37]

Lewis released his debut single, "Down On the Bowery", on 13 April 2023. [38] His debut album, Mission Creep, was released in June that year on Decca Records. [39]
