Acting Versus Performing: A Dual Journey

Lewis also reflected on his television career, saying he has been ‘very lucky’ and ‘completely unwittingly’ part of a shift in TV that saw shows achieve global success. He expressed his gratitude for the opportunities he has had, saying, ‘I’ve been very fortunate and I’ve loved doing all of them.’
