Aside from the Masterpiece Theatre role as Soames Forsyte, he was previously best known in the US as Dick Winters, the center and soul of the HBO series "Band of Brothers" (lots of episodes, but available at many public libraries, at least in the US). I think that was his first US accent. Flawless. Another US role was in the Stephen King movie "Dreamcatcher." I haven't seen it or read it, so I don't know whether he was a villain or not.
There was a series in the UK of acting out poems (sort of hard to describe). Damian Lewis read at least three of them. See: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SpVYlxhtdo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nr8Z-S5wE2c&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wu4-nIchhtE&feature=related
