Despite being best known for his TV and film work, Damian Lewis originally began his career primarily as a stage actor for the Royal Shakespeare Company, during which time he played roles such as Borgheim in Ibsen’s Little Eyold as well as Posthumus in Shakespeare’s Cymbeline.
Since that time he has made regular returns to the stage, including in Pillars of the Community at the National Theatre and The Misanthrope at The Comedy Theatre in 2009. He was last seen on the London stage in 2015, playing alongside John Goodman in the David Mamet play American Buffalo.
