Gingersnap’s Dream Role for Damian Lewis
About this project: I started thinking what meaty role I’d like to see Damian play when I shared my idea with Damianista. She said go for it. I wrote my piece and it sat collecting dust waiting for others to think of their dream role. I had all but given up when Damianista wrote her dream role, and it snowballed from there. Now we have over 20 dream roles thanks to the fans! So, let’s get this ball rolling. We’re going to start off the dream role series with mine and publish everyone’s thereafter. Here we go!
Chameleon. That’s the first word that comes to mind when I think of Damian’s acting abilities. He can play anything, and brilliantly so! Over the years many have proposed ideal roles they could see him portray – you’ve heard the rumors before – Damian Lewis as Bond, Ginger Bond. That would be dreamy even though Damian is so over it. He’s into real-life spies now, as seen on Damian Lewis: Spy Wars and the newly announced project in the works, A Spy Among Friends. For now we’ll have to live with Damian as Agent Double 0-0 in Phineas and Ferb, here.
I’ve also thought Damian could pull off the most maniacal villain in the Marvel or DC Comics universe and the public agrees as evidenced by their dream casting social media posts. One that comes up repeatedly is Norman Osborn (Green Goblin) from the Spiderman series. And for a while now this Blog has mused about Damian playing the iconic actor Steve McQueen. While Damian played McQueen in Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood, it was such a small role that it left me craving for an entire biopic. For now, we’ll have to view him as McQueen here.

POP the Balloons for Cure EB and RAISE Awareness for EB!
You all know Damian is the patron of the wonderful charity Cure EB, a non-profit organization that works around the clock to raise awareness for Epidermolysis Bullosa as well as funds for research so we can have a world without this terrible skin condition. And you know why the name is Cure EB?
Well, the patron has the answer! Continue reading “Do it like Damian Lewis:

Billions Season 5: Expectations, Things We’d Like To See (or not!) and a Fantasy or Two – Revisited!
Hello from the Trader’s Desk!
For the past 4 seasons, as we eagerly awaited the upcoming season of our favorite show “Billions“, we here at Fan Fun shared some of our predictions and thoughts about the new season. Now that Season 5 has come to it’s mid-season (Covid induced, unfortunately!) conclusion, we thought it would be FUN to look back and see just how good our predictions were. We also decided to tweak our predictions for the remainder of Season 5.
So as we look into the Billions Crystal Ball, let’s see how we did so far!
In celebration of Mad Men’s 13th Birthday: Damian Lewis Loves Don Draper!
Hello, everyone! This is a post I wrote in 2015 when I said farewell to Mad Men, my all-time favorite TV show. This week marks the 13th anniversary of the show premiering on AMC. And the fact that I share some Mad Men love with my favorite actor provides a unique opportunity to share Damian’s love for Mad Men here again. Hope you enjoy it.
“Mad Men. I watch endless episodes when I should be working.”
-Damian Lewis
Oh, yes!
Damian, I cannot thank you enough for loving Mad Men; because, first, you give me the chance to write about something that I LOVE very deeply, and second, it is so much fun to share this love for Mad Men with you!
