LEWIS URGES PUBLIC TO HELP THE HOMELESS

BAND OF BROTHERS star DAMIAN LEWIS is urging people to give up their time and money to help the homeless. The actor became sympathetic to the plight of those living on the streets of London after playing an alcoholic down-and-out in his latest film KEANE. Lewis says, "We're always told, 'Don't give to people begging because you'll only feed the next fix', which is clearly what happens, but there is an act of some compassion just by giving the money. "The only real answer, is to devote your time to a charity and do it through a formal system. Doing the film taught me a sense of sympathy and understanding that I perhaps have been slow to have before."
