Damian Lewis - Damian Lewis Considered Quitting Acting

The film adaptation of Stephen King's novel of the same name was only Lewis' second movie, but the star power of Morgan Freeman failed to pull in viewers and it raked in just $75 million (£46 million) worldwide.

And Lewis confesses the experience alone was enough to almost put him off a career in acting.

He tells the Mr Porter website, "I was a young 30, very much on my own and a long way from home. We shot in Vancouver for five months, and I mostly just sat in my hotel room on rainy days not knowing anyone. I think it scared me off a bit."
