Throwback Thursday to Damian Lewis as Oedipus Rex: Archetype of a King
Wow, this pandemic, amirite? Depending on where you live you may be still hunkered down, resisting social gatherings, wearing masks whenever you go out. Maybe you’re somewhere where things are fully open and things are back to normal. For most of us, though, it’s certainly a new way of life. And, it may be with us much longer than anyone hoped it’d be.
Some of us are fortunate enough to have jobs that weren’t too affected, or actually took off, due to the nationwide lock down. (once folks can no longer mill around the water cooler in the office, they seem very keen to get stuff done. I sense in some industries, like tech, for example, productivity is at a record high) Too many of us haven’t been so lucky. And what about our artists, the stories that we need to watch, the performances that entertain and sustain us? Obviously they have been affected in a major way. Those in Damian’s profession are still learning how to get their work running again.

Throwback Thursday to Fan Fun Fan Stories Book Landing in Damian Lewis’ Hands
I can’t believe it has been four years since our Fan Fun fan stories turned into a book and landed in Damian Lewis’ hands! Join me in this fun walk through the memory lane!
It all started with a random conversation on the subway.
I am a part-time New Yorker. Lady Trader, on the other hand, is a true New Yorker, born and raised in Brooklyn, now living on Long Island. The two of us try to meet almost every time I am in the city over some yummy dessert and tea at Veniero’s and chat for a few hours. Then we take the subway together: Lady Trader gets off at Penn Station to take the LIRR home and I continue uptown.
On one of my spring visits in 2016, on a subway ride home, I asked Lady Trader how she “discovered” Damian. When she told me her story, and it was hilarious, I told her she should really write a blog post about it. And as soon as she drafted her story, a NEW idea was born! Wouldn’t it be FUN if we invited all fans to write their own stories about how they became Damian Lewis fans?

A Quirky Detective: Nancy’s Dream Role for Damian Lewis
Hi everyone! Damianista here. The screenwriter and casting director we have today is Nancy, who happens to be one of the first Fan Fun followers and one of the few fans who participated in all Fan Fun projects we had in the last seven years! Nancy is not going after a new character for Damian, but instead she dreams that he brings one of his most popular characters to back to life. Can you guess who? 🙂 As I leave the stage to Nancy, huge thanks go to her for sharing her dream role for Damian with us.
