- This viewer’s comments about Damian’s portrayal of Charlie Crews include:
“…Lewis is powerful and commanding as Charlie Crews; he brings an intensity to the screen that portrays a man divided. Charlie is driven by a thirst to discover ‘why’; but he also attempts to follow the teachings of Zen, which tells him to let go. He’s an outdated man who’s been unable to keep up with developments in the world and has emerged into an almost alien world filled with high tech computers and mobile phones.

“….Just a few reasons why I love Life:

3. Damian Lewis. Duh. If I didn’t know he was an actor, I would think he honestly was this character.
4. Compelling (and note – ORIGINAL) plot that doesn’t over-do it.
5. Magnificent supporting cast.
