Bill Guarnere praised Damian Lewis’ performance, and said Major Winters ‘was exactly how the limey guy portrayed him’ 😂. Fantastic actor, and major respect to Bill Guarnere and Dick Winters.
I am surprised but far from mind blowing after watching my favorite British actor leading in American Psycho and American Hustle , Britain's really got talent
+Nawras Khalil Half the main characters in BoB were Brits. Look it up. They rock the US accents. The guy who plays Blythe, Southern accent and all, is English.
I've just finished watching Band of Brothers for probably the sixth time. What is striking is how little Damian Lewis has aged since BoB. I should really get my ass into gear and watch Homeland.
+michael andrews Damian Lewis did fool me with his accent in BoB. I really thought he was one of us lol. And since then I have been fooled by Britsh actors playing Americans. But now I'm starting to see some British accents bleed through in some shows lol. Homeland is fcuking awesome Damian Lewis is fantastic in it.
flangmasterj. I am french and it's an honor for me, to see than John "Pee Wee" Lewis wears the Légion d'Honneur, the highest french grade of distinction.
His name is one of many that got thrown about after Spectre released but being he is in his 40s he got ruled out not long after his name started to come up. A big shame because I do agree I think Damien Lewis could play Bond really well
@@darkphoenix4568 It's bound to happen, especially if he is not in Britain. He does speak American for probably 14 hours a day 5 days a week. He did an interview saying when he is filming in America he sometimes speaks an American accent all day out shopping without realizing it.
I swear the actor had a smattering of Pennsylvania Dutch in his BOB performance. On an aside, I was at a stoplight Ephrata Pennsylvania on a cold February night, and, while in The Major’s home town, the sudden thought “Major Winters still lives” came over me. Actually, he had died days before, but had enough clout to keep it out of the paper’s until after his private interment, to protect his family. Weird.
Most well deserved Emmy of Emmy Award history IMO. They picked the perfect player. And Lewis should feel forever honored to be attached to the legacy of someone like Dick Winters - RIP
Some of Damian's scenes in Homeland, especially season 1 when Claire Dane's character falls in love with him, are some of the best TV I've ever watched. Totally believable, totally absorbing.
Up until about 3 weeks ago (this is May, 2020) Damian Lewis was one of my favorite American actors, lol! He sounds so strange (foreign, one might say...) speaking without his American accent. Great actor.
He is a great actor. Alot of Yanks are shocked when they find out that he is one of us. A Brit! I love him in B O B, and homeland. I think his best work is yet to come.
Wasn't he great in Band of Brothers? And wasn't he great in Life? And wasn't he great in Homeland? And wasn't he great in Wolf Hall? And isn't he great in Billions?
The first time I saw Damian Lewis was in a Touch of Frost. He played a University student. He didn't have a large role, but he made an impression. I knew he was going to go far in his career. It's the way he uses his eyes when he talks.
I love band of brothers. It's my favourite tv show. I first thought he was american cos that was the first thing I saw him in, then I watched the sf on BoB. Damien lewis is a beast
He was such a great American actor it was hard for me to believe he was British. Standing by the Jeep with ammo as they are headed off into the Ardennes he used the word ’situation’ It was the only word that wasn’t perfect and I only noticed it on the nth watching. He was brilliant. I knit a lot of Christmas gifts that fall. I didn’t know where they found all the actors I had never seen before but it was brilliant. It’s great we get to see these actors instead of the usual American ones.
When I heard Obama was such a big fan of the show he invited Damien Lewis round for dinner I was thinking "OMG THIS WAS HIS PLAN ALL ALONG!!!!!!!! NO BARACK! IT'S A TRAP!"
John Jameson thank god he wasn’t invited to the current presidents White House... although Homeland is probably too much hard work for trump. You need to think and he isn’t very good at that unless it’s about himself.
Today, May 20th is the first time I realized that Damian Lewis is English//British. His American accent in the movie was super good. I'd have never known he wasn't American. Also, what a great job he did portraying Major Winters. I hope he got to meet the real Dick Winters in true life. I'd guess he did.
I just knew the brilliant actor portraying the late *Captain Richard Dick Winters* is Brit. brilliant, absolutely outstanding performance (save the date 23rd December 2020) as I learned he is Brit.
He is British?! I loved him in Band of Brother, he was great in Homeland and I just love the serious Billions and today I find out he is British...wow! Nice!
Damian Lewis' portrayal of Dick Winters was amazing. I follow this guy to every show and movie he acts in because of it. Billions was amazing as well. I will also say Damian Lewis and Ron Livingston as Nixon and Dick was so chemical. I love it.
I got to do a car chase scene with him in LA 10 year ago on another show...Also ran into him in Venice..Also got to meet Tom Hanks, Spielburgh and close to 10 of the actors from Band of Brothers..I am very lucky
Lewis is great, and an excellent actor, but the thing with Homeland is the writing and directing ... it is brilliant, but without good writers and directors the show would not be so good.
His performance in "Band Of Brothers" was incredibly well done.
No lies detected
I never even realized that he was british untill years after BOB. His performance was absolutely incredible.
Absolutelely great performance
Instantly became one of my favorite actors after BOB
Agree.
Who knew Damian Lewis could do such a brilliant British accent?
Bill Guarnere praised Damian Lewis’ performance, and said Major Winters ‘was exactly how the limey guy portrayed him’ 😂.
Fantastic actor, and major respect to Bill Guarnere and Dick Winters.
The highest of praise, really. That is awesome.
That dude has the best American accent of any Brit ever.
You forgot Hugh Laurie vel Dr. House.
Jamie Bamber's accent is also very good (although I guess that accent is technically "Caprican").
Andrew Garfield
The worst American accent is David Tennant. Damien’s is so good.
Holy shit I had no idea he was British. Pulls off that American accent well
I am surprised but far from mind blowing after watching my favorite British actor leading in American Psycho and American Hustle , Britain's really got talent
+Nawras Khalil Half the main characters in BoB were Brits. Look it up. They rock the US accents. The guy who plays Blythe, Southern accent and all, is English.
+slide4180 yup.. Liebgott? soo Brit..
slide4180
and don't we dare to forget the once sweet innocent Tom Hardy
So was peter Quinn
Damian did a fantastic job of playing Dick Winters. What an awesome documentary of easy company of the 101st airborne.
This guy was fabulous in Band of Brothers. One of the best things I've seen. Had no fricken idea he was British.
Tuesday, March 17 2020 the day I realized Major Winters was english
Josh Lindsey he’s from Scotland, but tomato-tomatoe 😅
Born in St John's Wood, London, England.
Half the cast of Band of Brother's is from the UK
Haha, yeah it's crazy. I watch Billions and I had NO idea!
I HAD NO IDEA
I've just finished watching Band of Brothers for probably the sixth time. What is striking is how little Damian Lewis has aged since BoB.
I should really get my ass into gear and watch Homeland.
+flangmasterj thats what i finally did. watched all of the seaons..homeland is incredible. start watching now!!
funny how lewis has the same accent
+michael andrews Damian Lewis did fool me with his accent in BoB. I really thought he was one of us lol. And since then I have been fooled by Britsh actors playing Americans.

flangmasterj. I am french and it's an honor for me, to see than John "Pee Wee" Lewis wears the Légion d'Honneur, the highest french grade of distinction.
He is a superbly talented actor. His accent was SPOT on
Holy christ I never realized he's British!!
That makes me see him as an even better actor.. he felt 100% authentic as dick winters..
I'd always feel Damien Lewis should be the next James Bond.
Good shout
His name is one of many that got thrown about after Spectre released but being he is in his 40s he got ruled out not long after his name started to come up. A big shame because I do agree I think Damien Lewis could play Bond really well
Michael Fassbender is better
Henry Caville will be the next Bond. It's very obvious.
Thought that 10 years ago too.
mind blowing, I never would have guessed he wasn't American
HIs american accent is amazing :-) Keep expecting to hear Dick Winters talking...
Luyen Dao I hear some of the American accent in his speech sometimes.
@@darkphoenix4568 It's bound to happen, especially if he is not in Britain. He does speak American for probably 14 hours a day 5 days a week. He did an interview saying when he is filming in America he sometimes speaks an American accent all day out shopping without realizing it.

His American accent fits better than his actual accent😅
Light Buzzkill that's sooo trueee
I was shocked to find out he was English. He favors actor James Stewart a lot.
Shocked? Why? Because British can actually fake being Yanks better than the yanks themselves?
True
@@azynkron dude got mad lol
My fav character in Band of Brothers.
I've watched Homeland 4 times. Love everything he and his departed wife have done ❤❤❤
Omg I can't get over that he is British!!
I think he deserves an Oscar
Of course he desserve since Band of Brothers
reality He is on TV. They don’t give Oscars for that.
Maybe another Market Garden movie of British Force's perspective could let him get one :)
But it is a TV series so it would be an Emmy. He deserves the highest accolades. The character he played was an amazing human.
@@marizamartau4984 Band of Brothers isn't a movie.
They couldn’t have picked better actors for band of brothers Damian was great in it the best I’ve watched for a long time I loved it great actor
He's a really good actor. I love and idolise his character in "Band of Brothers."
Up until about 3 weeks ago (this is May, 2020) Damian Lewis was one of my favorite American actors, lol! He sounds so strange (foreign, one might say...) speaking without his American accent. Great actor.
For his performance as Dick Winters, I salute you!! Incredible
One of the best actors around....
Damian Lewis has join Hugh Laurie in the ranks of British actors who do an American accents so well I had no idea they were even British
He is a great actor. Alot of Yanks are shocked when they find out that he is one of us. A Brit!
I love him in B O B, and homeland. I think his best work is yet to come.
Damian Lewis great gifted actor Homeland and Band of brothers magnificent performance by the man.
Man, he switches between accents effortlessly.
Exactly what I was thinking. He bounces back and forth like it's nothing.
What a DREAM BOAT.. AND SO LIKEABLE WITH IT.❤️
Wasn't he great in Band of Brothers? And wasn't he great in Life? And wasn't he great in Homeland? And wasn't he great in Wolf Hall? And isn't he great in Billions?

Damian Lewis as Dick Winters in Band of Brothers is so crazy well played.
watching band of brothers now. Great actor and has one of the best American accents
And ridiculously talented he is !!!!!!
Had no idea he talked like that in "real life".........guy is super cool. Fun interview.
LOVE LOVE LOVE.....He is amazing! Funny, talented and looks like a real gentlemen!
"We're airborne LT we are supposed to be surrounded"
I love band of brothers. It's my favourite tv show. I first thought he was american cos that was the first thing I saw him in, then I watched the sf on BoB. Damien lewis is a beast
Great interview
Totally Awesome talented Actor - Great interview
His American accent in Band of Brothers was perfect.
I love how much emphasis he puts on the word "Dinner".
As an American... I had no idea. Keep up the good work.
An amazing and mesmerising character
He was such a great American actor it was hard for me to believe he was British. Standing by the Jeep with ammo as they are headed off into the Ardennes he used the word ’situation’ It was the only word that wasn’t perfect and I only noticed it on the nth watching.

LOLLLL stop watching the show and take a break
no thanks :)
That sucks he got invited to such a shitty president's White House.
🤣
John Jameson thank god he wasn’t invited to the current presidents White House... although Homeland is probably too much hard work for trump. You need to think and he isn’t very good at that unless it’s about himself.

He did went to Major Winters home said it was a great honor Damian Lewis is a kind hearted man just like Major Winters was casted well.💜
Loved him in "Life".
Major winters
He is really great actor....
For the longest time I had no idea Damian was British. Blew my mind, his American accent is spot on.
I just knew the brilliant actor portraying the late *Captain Richard Dick Winters* is Brit. brilliant, absolutely outstanding performance (save the date 23rd December 2020) as I learned he is Brit.
He s brilliant, i still watch the show but certainly would be more fun to still have him :/
Wearing a Poppy.........respect......this man is real and knows whats what.........Gysgt sends
He is British?!
I loved him in Band of Brother, he was great in Homeland and I just love the serious Billions and today I find out he is British...wow!
Nice!
I kind of want to see Damian act onscreen with Tom Hanks, that would be great IMO.
His voice really changes with his British accent
Damien Lewis was the one for that iconic role aka Major Dick Winters
He is a fantastic actor. I've always thought he should have been born an American. Makes me proud of my British ancestry.
The reason he is such a great actor is because he is British. If he was a Yank he wouldn't have been half as good.
Damian Lewis' portrayal of Dick Winters was amazing. I follow this guy to every show and movie he acts in because of it. Billions was amazing as well.
I will also say Damian Lewis and Ron Livingston as Nixon and Dick was so chemical. I love it.
You brits really have some slendid actors. And thats an understatement.
He's awesome!!
RIP Sargeant Nicholas Brody
He sounds so English but when interviewed in America he sounds American.
** Dysprosody syndrome
The Fact that this is 1 year after The Real Dick Winters died at age of 92
Un gran actorr 🙌🙌🙌
No one could play the role of Major Dick Winters better than Damien Lewis he was my fave on B.O.B but I loved them all
Love you Damien , you are a great actor, so sorry you died in Homeland,
After your acting in Band of Brothers you can do anything you want in America.
Correction Both are wearing Poppies!...............mad respect!
Wolf Hall did it for me. Best Henry XVIII ever!
I'm seeing Dick Winters in Damien Lewis, speaking with a British accent, and my mind can't relate!
Damian looks slightly Scottish.
haha, typical Jock reply
How do you look "slightly Scottish"?
it's the hair
@@Aman1012 Aye.
He has beautiful teeth. Hard to believe he’s British.
They picked the right guy to play Dick Winters. He did a great job.
Fantastic acting!
Polubiłam pana panie damianie
The best bond we would never see
"aw man, you're British?!" 😂 😂
Brit and all 😆 he is incredibly talented....
SPEEEIIIRS GET YOUR ASS UP HERE!
One of the best scene's 👌
Actually, the line was: SPEIRS!!! GET YOURSELF OVER HERE!!!
Very talented chap!
Why I love that man? Lol! I think so sexy, well ... His character in Homeland is driving me crazy. Amazing
Rupert Friend - Quinn is also British
Amazing performance in homeland....
Well this has fucking blown my mind.
love Damian, he is such a fantastic actor. But honestly i got a little distracted when i saw Psy haha xD thanks for posting the vid!
When I watched Band of Brothers I had no idea he was British.
He’s English? Mind Blown 🤯
Zmienił mnie pan panie damianie
I got to do a car chase scene with him in LA 10 year ago on another show...Also ran into him in Venice..Also got to meet Tom Hanks, Spielburgh and close to 10 of the actors from Band of Brothers..I am very lucky
I can't get over his Obama impression. Thats hilarious
I should not have watched this. He will forever be Dick Winters in my mind.
You sir will always be an American because of band of brothers
Lewis is great, and an excellent actor, but the thing with Homeland is the writing and directing ... it is brilliant, but without good writers and directors the show would not be so good.
Amazing
Panie damianie dobrze się pan bawi
Qué atractivo es Damián 😍😍😍
Holy Crap! I didn't know he was british! Never thought Jonathan Ross was not American.
He also commented in Conan. When he in front of an American he automatically use the American accent. XD
He sounds more American than British.
Hey i love u after watching homeland i still thought i will come back in next season i miss u in homeland 😒😒😒
