Just catching up with @SHO_Billions so I thought I'd mention the glorious time I finally met @lewis_damian after adoring him forever.
You must understand the backstory.
I first saw him in Band of Brothers, and I had a little personal connection to Lt Withers. #WW2 THREAD

My Grandpa was in the Army, a sniper and a munitions expert serving in the same base at Winters before he want to the Pacific. I emailed Winters about this, but I also saw Damian Lewis playing him in the most perfect way. In fact, all of Band of Brothers is played beautifully. 2/

Though this isn't about Band of Brothers, this is about @lewis_damian. Just had to mention he was awesome in it, and that show did our Grandpas proud. Anyway, I always liked him, and he was amazing in the Forsyte Saga as well. And I determined to meet him. 3/

I don't know, part of it was feeling a little closer to my Grandpa, and part of it was because he's insanely talented. So fast forward to the BAFTAs, I think this was around 2013, and I was pregnant with my son, so couldn't drink. All my mates were getting pissed AF so I went 4/

into the back stairs to chill. Wait this was around 2008, not 2013. Anyway I was annoyed I couldn't smoke or drink so I felt sorry for myself in a back staircase. And then, HE came in the space. @lewis_damian came in the space. And his eyes were very, very twinkly. 5/

And he walked up to me, totally unprompted, and I was dying and thinking THIS IS WINTERS THIS IS MAJOR WINTERS MY GRANDPA WOULD DIE (ACTUALLY MY GRANDPA WOULD NOT NOT DIE BECAUSE HE HUNG OUT WITH HIM) & he walked right up to me and I'll tell you what he said with twinkly eyes 6/

He asked if I knew where the bathroom was. I didn't even care b/c I got to touch his arm & direct him in the correct way & my brain screamed YOU ARE TELLING WINTERS WHERE THE BATHROOM IS and only now I realise I haven't used any GIFS which is unusual for me. END #screenwriting
