ALISON BOSHOFF: Damian Lewis leads backlash by unpaid cast of Jimmy Carr’s Downton spoof
In a shocking turn of events, Damian Lewis has joined the ranks of the disgruntled cast members of Jimmy Carr’s Downton parody. The actor, known for his roles in Homeland and Billions, has publicly expressed his outrage over the lack of compensation for his involvement in the comedy sketch.
As reported by Daily Mail, sources close to the production have revealed that several actors were left unpaid for their work on the show. While Lewis’s exact role is unknown, he has reportedly spoken out about the issue, claiming that the matter is ‘not a laughing matter.’
The news comes as a major blow to Carr and his team, who had previously dismissed claims of non-payment as ‘rumors.’ However, it appears that the cast’s discontent has spread far beyond just Carr himself.
Lewis’s involvement in the backlash adds significant weight to the growing controversy. As one of Hollywood’s most respected actors, his public statement has sent shockwaves throughout the industry and beyond.
This development raises more questions than answers about the inner workings of this high-profile production. How could such a prominent show allegedly neglect to compensate its cast members?
