I had no idea Lewis was actually English for years. Also, I want to point out that he was married to the insanely talented Helen McCrory (Aunt Polly on Peaky Blinders) until her tragic death a few years ago. Talk about an acting family.

After watching Lewis on various TV shows like Life, Billions and Band of Brothers it's always jarring when he's speaking in his native accent.
