ALISON BOSHOFF: Damian Lewis leads backlash by unpaid cast of Jimmy Carr’s Downton spoof
In a shocking turn of events, none other than Damian Lewis has led the charge against Jimmy Carr’s new project, a parody of the beloved period drama “Downton Abbey.” The actor, known for his role as King Henry VIII in the Netflix series “The Last King,” has joined forces with the unpaid cast members to slam the comedian and producer over the lack of compensation.
As reported by DailyMail, sources close to the production have revealed that several actors were not paid for their work on the project. The news has sparked a heated debate within the entertainment industry, with many questioning Carr’s motives behind the decision.
Lewis, known for his strong union stance, took to social media to express his solidarity with the affected cast members. “We must stand together and fight for fair pay for all actors,” he tweeted. “No one should have to work without compensation.”
The backlash has also been joined by other prominent figures in the industry, including several Downton Abbey stars who have spoken out about their own experiences with exploitation.
Meanwhile, Jimmy Carr’s team has remained tight-lipped on the matter, refusing to comment on the allegations.
