So who was this young Damian character?


The answer is Clive and he was a character who played a young TV  runner in Mickey Love, Damian was in this film for a few minutes, but long enough to see the flock of red hair.  The film stared the late and very talented Rik Mayall who I was a huge fan of when I was growing up - he was in great British comedies such as the Young Ones, The New Statesman, An American Werewolf in London and a great film called Drop Dead Fred , a huge loss to British comedy when he died last year.

Below is a short synopsis on the film.  I remember watching it myself in the 90's not knowing I was watching a certain Damian Lewis who was destined for bigger things.

"Mickey Love is an aging television quiz show host who after climbing his way back to the top after conquering alcoholism has hosted the highly rated "Family Values" for over ten years. But when he hears a false rumor that his show will be axed to make way for a new one to be hosted by young upstart Greg Deane. Mickey bitterly resorts to desperate measures to cling on to his career. Little does Mickey know however is that his bosses actually have something else in store for him. "
