- Thanks to Ann for the news that Damian Lewis was interviewed on last night’s 2008 Fall TV Preview on the TV Guide Channel. The program includes clips from season 2 of Life. The show will be repeated several times this week on TV Guide so check your local listings. The interview with Damian took place in the last 15 minutes of the 2-hour special (but the repeats will be broken into 1-hour segments so you will have to watch to make sure you have the part that includes Damian!)
