Damian Lewis is best known for his TV roles as war veteran Nicholas Brody in Homeland and hedge fund billionaire Bobby Axelrod in Billions. However, he has appeared in numerous films as well, including Quentin Tarantino’s most recent film.

Lewis, who started his career as a telemarketer, began his acting career in 1997. He has since appeared in 41 movies and TV shows. Among his many accolades is an Emmy and a Golden Globe. Here are his best and worst movies, according to Rotten Tomatoes.

10 Best: The Escapist (2008) – 64%

Here’s a film that drew plenty of inspiration from Prison Break. The movie revolves around a hardcore criminal named Frank (tough guys are always called Frank in movies) who gets a life sentence but decides to break out after learning that his daughter is seriously ill due to a drug overdose.

Like Michael Scofield, Frank puts together a team comprising of close friends in prison, but he soon realizes that he’ll actually need to include people he doesn’t see eye to eye with, including Rizza (Damian Lewis) and his brother Tony (Steven Mackintosh).

9 Worst: Your Highness (2011) – 27%

Your Highness is a stoner comedy that revolves around the adventures of two princes named Thadeous and Fabious in the Kingdom of Mourne. When the wife of Fabious is kidnapped, King Tallious gives the lazier Thadeous the ultimatum to help find her or be disowned.

Damian Lewis plays a knight named Boremont in the film. Your Highness was a box office bomb, making just $28 million worldwide against a budget of $50 million budget. James Franco, who played Fabious, received a Razzie nomination for Worst Supporting Actor.

8 Best: Our Kind Of Traitor (2016) – 73%

Our Kind Of Traitor follows a young couple who go on holiday to Marrakech and befriend a wealthy Russian man named Dima. Unknown to them, the man happens to be laundering money for the Russian mafia. Soon, they get caught in the dangerous and dirty world of murder, corruption, and espionage.

Unlike other films in its genre, the British spy thriller film relied more on solid acting than action sequences. Damian Lewis played an MI6 operative named Hector. Despite great reviews, the movie didn’t do so well at the box office, making only $9 million.

7 Worst: Romeo And Juliet (2013) – 24%

Shakespeare’s works have proven to be very hard to adapt. Many end up getting very poor reviews and 2013’s Romeo And Juliet proved to be no different. Damian Lewis, who played Juliet’s father, Lord Capulet, also shared the screen with his Billions counterpart Paul Giamatti, who played Friar Lawrence.

Even though the movie is set in the Verona during the Renaissance and follows the plot in Shakespeare’s famous play, it discarded much of the flowery dialogue used by the legendary writer. At the box office, it only managed to make $ 3 million.

6 Best: Keane (2005) – 81%

In the movie, Damian Lewis plays Keane, a man who wanders through New York in search of his daughter. Keane isn’t of sound mind, so he ends up having plenty of altercations with ordinary citizens. Many think he’s crazy, but he insists that he lost his daughter at a bus station.

He rents out a cheap room in a hotel as he continues his search. There, he becomes friends with a single mother named Lynn, whose daughter is the same age as his missing child. As he bonds with Lynn, he uses the encouragement she gives him to continue searching for his own daughter.

5 Worst: Queen Of The Desert (2017) – 18%

Nicole Kidman doesn’t normally appear in bad films, but she somehow found herself in this one. The movie tells the real-life story of Gertrude, a woman who leaves her good life in Britain to go and settle in the Middle East. There, she has an affair with a British officer and also meets the great T.E. Lawrence.

Damian Lewis played the legendary Colonel Charles Doughty-Wylie of the British army. The movie was also a huge financial failure, grossing just $2 million against a budget of $36 million. It will definitely go down as one of the worst biopics ever made.

4 Best: Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood (2019) – 85%

Tarantino’s ninth film focussed on a washed-up actor named Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his stuntman Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt) who appeared to enjoy driving a Cadillac Coupe DeVille more than working. The two were struggling to find work and adapt to a fast-changing Hollywood scene in the 1960s. The movie was also a creative twist on the infamous Manson murders.

Damian Lewis portrayed the legendary actor Christian McQueen in the early scenes of the movie. Despite not being a hit with fans, Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood was received very well by critics and earned a Best Picture nomination at the Oscars.

3 Worst: The Baker (2007) – 14%

The British comedy stars Damian Lewis as Milo, a professional hitman Milo (Damian Lewis) who changes his mind about killing a target and flees the city due to fear of punishment from his bosses. He goes to hide in a country town, where the villagers mistake him for a baker.

Milo decides to embrace his mistake profession and forms a great bond with the locals. Soon, his secret gets out and some of the locals began asking for more than he can offer. He thus rushes to find ways to fix the situation that’s quickly getting out of hand.

2 Best: Bill (2016) – 89%

Bill tries to piece together what really happened during Shakespeare’s ‘lost years’ where nobody knew where he was. The ‘lost years’ narrative has sometimes fuelled the conspiracy that Shakespeare never existed and that various others simply used his name to sell more.

In the movie, Bill Shakespeare departs from his home to follow his theater and writing dream. In the journey to find himself, he meets spies, kings, spies. and former lovers. Damian Lewis plays English explorer Sir Richard Hawkins in the movie.

1 Worst: Will (2011) – 0%

This British sports drama didn’t impress even a single critic. Maybe critics don’t love soccer. The movie follows an 11-year-old boy named Will Brennan and professional Bosnian footballer Alek who trek to see English club Liverpool play Italian club AC Milan in the 2005 Champions League Final in Istanbul.

Damian Lewis plays Will’s father Gareth, whose life has become meaningless since the death of his wife. Liverpool players Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher even had cameos. The film also failed to make a profit, bringing in only 24 million pounds from a 35 million pound budget.
