He did something for the audience which I found exceptional
As an American, we watch our programs and when the lead playing an American seaks in another venue and turns out to be from another land, it kind of messes up the illusion. A prime example is Hugh Lurie who was wonderful as House M.D. The first time you see him in an interview or talk show, it blows you away when you hear his native accent. Anyway, Damian Lewis is a Brit but when you watch the Homeland behind the scenes interview on Showtime, he speaks in his American character's accent and I feel this is a gift to the audience. He certainly doesn't have to do this but I think that it's cool that he does this.
