Thirty years ago today on May 20, 1993 a little known, fresh-faced, ginger-haired 22-year-old Damian Lewis made his onscreen debut as “Clive” in the ITV 1-hour television movie Micky Love.

Plot: Micky Love is an aging television quiz show host who after climbing his way back to the top since conquering alcoholism, has hosted the highly rated “Family Values” for over ten years.
