Damian Lewis misses Claire Danes since he left 'Homeland'.
The actor has been having withdrawal symptoms since his character, Marine Sergeant Nicholas Brody, was killed off in series three of the political drama, and wishes he could still be on set with his old co-star.
Speaking during the first ever London TimesTalks event organised by the New York Times last week, he sighed: "I miss Danesy! I miss her! They'll be starting up again now..."
The British thespian almost turned down a role in the hit Showtime programme because he didn't want to be apart from his wife, Helen McCrory, and their two children.
He explained: "Having had this wonderful but tough experience living in Los Angeles away from home, I was very reluctant to do to another TV show. The script was sent to me by my American agent who said, 'Just read this one'.
"Howard Gordon and Alex Gansa are involved, they ran '24'. Claire Danes is doing it. I very nearly didn't do it, for personal reasons - going to live in Charlotte, north Carolina, and I wasn't going to move the family. But there were just too many compelling reasons [to sign up]."
Fans the world over were distraught when Brody was brutally killed off in the season three finale, but Damian feels lucky to have been a part of the show for so long.
He said in a conversation with International New York Times theatre critic Matt Wolf: "When I saw in season one how many people were losing their lives, I thought, 'Any moment now!' You sing for a long period of time, they can get rid of you, kill you, close down the entire series at the drop of a hat.
"It was intimated to me very strongly that I would only be in this for a couple of seasons. When it became a huge hit, all the executives said, 'You can't kill him now!' "

Chrissy Teigen finds how talented her husband, John Legend, is "exhausting".
The model wed the 'Ordinary People' singer in an intimate ceremony in Italy last September but she jokes she's already getting tired of his overachieving.
She told UsWeekly.com: "Of course I'm proud. But at the same time, this guy - how often can you be proud of him? I actually told him this the other day - I was like, 'You come to me every single day with some high honor, another number one...' like 'Oh, we've reached number one in this country now.'
"I'm like, 'John, I can't keep up with how talented you are, and I can't keep up this excitement. I'm going to have to keep giving you crap because listen, it's getting exhausting.'
"You know how when someone just aces everything and you're just like 'Alright buddy, chill out'...it's gotten to that point now."
Chrissy, 28, also talked about how she supports the old adage that breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
She added: "If I don't have breakfast, then all sorts of things go wrong throughout the entire day and I'm not kidding.
"I tend to eat much worse throughout the day if I don't get [breakfast]... I mean, I can eat anything for breakfast, too - we're talking anything - and I can still eat well the rest of the day."

Angelina Jolie is "still great friends" with her first husband, Jonny Lee Miller.
The 'Maleficent' actress met the English star on the set of 1995 movie 'Hackers' and says she still has a lot of affection for both him and the movie.
Angelina - who split from Johnny in 1999 after three years of marriage - told Buzzfeed when she looks back on that movie she feels "love," adding: "That's where I met Jonny, who is still a great friend.
"So I think of him when I think of that. Although, I'm sure the movie looks so ancient now, but we had a lot of fun making that."
The 38-year-old star went on to marry Billy Bob Thornton from 2000 to 2003, and is now engaged to another actor, Brad Pitt.
The star also discussed her Oscar winning role in 'Girl, Interrupted', in which she plays a woman sent to a sanitarium alongside Winona Ryder.
She explained: "I really, genuinely thought I was the only character who was sane in the entire film.
"And if you watch it closely, that's exactly how I was playing it: I am just the only sane person here. I was actually almost upset when people said I was so good at playing insane because I never thought she was insane.
"She was just incredibly honest, which, I guess, made her seem crazy."

Charlie Sheen has reportedly kicked Denise Richards out of the home he bought her.
The 'Anger Management' star fell out with his ex-wife toward the end of last year and has since demanded she and their daughters, Sam, 10, and Lola, eight, as well as her adopted little girl, Eloise, leave the Mulholland Estates mansion he bought her in 2011.
Charlie is reportedly selling the huge Los Angeles property - which includes six bedrooms and nine bathrooms - to a friend.
A source told RadarOnline.com lawyers for the actor "have been working with Denise in vacating the premises.
"Charlie has wanted Denise out of the gated community where he also lives for months, and his porn star fiancée, Brett Rossi has been pushing for it too."
It has previously been reported moving out is a huge inconvenience for Denise, as her daughters go to school very close to where they live.
A source added: "Charlie is allowing Denise to stay in the house until the girls finish school in several weeks ... But as soon as they are done with school Charlie wants her out. It's really sad because it just didn't have to come to this."
Charlie fell out with Denise after claiming she wouldn't let him see their girls over christmas, as she took them on holiday.
It is said Brett - who now goes by the name Scottine - has taken a dislike to Denise, but both she and Charlie have preciously denied this is the case.
Charlie's third wife, Brooke Mueller, also lives in the same estate, with their twin sons, Bob and Max, five.
While Brooke was being treated for addiction issues last year Denise took custody of the twins, but had to give them up after she said they displayed violent behaviour to her pets and children.

One Direction stars Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlison have been filmed sharing a "joint".
The boy band pair joke about marijuana while smoking a suspicious looking self-rolled cigarette in a video made as they were reportedly being taken to Peru's Estadio Nacional in Lima on April 27.
In a video obtained by MailOnline.com, Louis says: "So here we are, leaving Peru. Joint lit. Happy days!"
As the vehicle carrying the two band members makes it way through the streets, Louis , 22, spots a police motorcyclist, and says: "That's the police. That's the po po. One-nil."
As he coughs and smoke appears across the camera screen, he says: "Smokescreen baby!"
As they pass another police officer, Louis says: "One nil b***h! Look at this b***h! He's having a look. He's thinking, 'I'm sure I can smell an illegal substance in there.' And he's hit the nail on the head."
Louis also passes the "joint" to Zayn, 21, announcing: "Zayn takes his job very seriously. He makes sure he goes through a two hour intense warm-up before every show. Just to get himself in the zone for the show.
"One very very important factor of Zayn's warm up of course if Mary J. herself. In fact I will present it to him now for some fantastic singing."
After he takes a drag on the roll-up, he says: "nice."
The other three members of the boy band - Harry Styles, Niall Horan and Liam Payne - are not seen in the video.
The clip could cause serious harm the band's squeaky-clean image, and will no doubt upset the parents of many of their younger fans.

Robert De Niro wishes he had spoken more with his late gay father about his sexuality.
The 'Meet the Parents' actor's dad - Robert De Niro Sr., a famous figurative painter - separated from his mother, Virginia Admiral, shortly after his birth in 1943 to live as an openly gay man, and the star wishes he had been able to communicate with him about it more openly.
He told OUT Magazine: "To me, he was always a great artist. Yeah, he probably was [conflicted about being gay], being from that generation, especially from a small town [Syracuse, in] upstate [New York].
"I was not aware, much, of it. I wish we had spoken about it much more. My mother didn't want to talk about things in general, and you're not interested when you're a certain age."
Robert, 70, has directed a new documentary about his father, who passed away in 1993, for HBO called 'Remembering the Artist: Robert De Niro, Sr.', and says while they didn't have a typical father to son relationship, they were still close.
He added: "We were not the type of father and son who played baseball together, as you can surmise. But we had a connection.
"I wasn't with him a lot, because my mother and he were separated and divorced. As I say in the documentary, I looked after him in certain ways.
"He was absent in some ways. He was very loving. He adored me ... as I do my kids."
Robert also talked about how making the documentary was a labour of love.
He said: "I felt I had to. I felt obligated. It was my responsibility to make a documentary about him... It was not intended to be on HBO. It was just something I wanted to do."

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's wedding was "very normal".
The reality star and the rapper tied the knot in Florence, Italy, on Saturday (24.05.14), and despite all the media attention the union attracted, a source close to the wedding party claims it was all about the things that matter.
The insider told E! news: "The entire wedding felt very normal. It was very un-Hollywood. It might appear like it was something over the top, but it was very much focused on the important things that matter most."
Another source pointed out the intimate ceremony was almost celebrity free, as Kim and Kanye wanted to keep the event particularly personal.
The source said: "They wanted it to be a small and intimate wedding. Jay Z and Beyonce were invited but didn't come... In the end, the wedding was full of love and super intimate."
Kim's brother, Rob, made his way to France for pre-wedding celebrations, but left just before the actual event, flying back to the US.
It was initially reported he fell out with Kim, but friends say this was not the case, and he is just conscious of his weight.
The source said: "Kim and Rob did not fight. He wanted to be there, but he was feeling so insecure and didn't want anyone to see him heavier like this.
"Kim and Kanye completely understand. They love Rob and only want him to be healthy and happy."
Rob was pictured at Los Angeles International airport on his way to the wedding last week, the first time he was photographed in months.
After some people commented on his weight, he wrote on Twitter: "so i found out i was trending for being fat... thank you all it really made my day 🙂
"and to the blogs saying i went to fat camp or rehab LOL then why am i still fat u fools?? (sic)"

Amanda Seyfried is "pretty sure" Channing Tatum is a good kisser.
The 'Lovelace' actress locked lips with the hunk in 2010 movie 'Dear John', and although she can't recall the experience too clearly, she's confident it was a fun moment.
She told BBC Radio 1: "I don't remember... I'm pretty sure it was great. It was easy! He's a funny guy."
Amanda appeared alongside funnyman Seth MacFarlane - who she co-stars with in 'A Million Ways to Die in the West' - and he was only too eager to jump in with a more full answer to the question of whether Channing is a good kisser.
He joked: "I felt like a million bucks afterwards. You want to talk about confidence? That guy gives you confidence. So generous."
Seth is best known as the mastermind behind cartoon 'Family Guy' and the movie 'Ted', and acts on-screen for the first time in 'A Million Ways to Die in the West', although he wasn't daunted because he had his Hollywood co-stars to consult about his scenes.
He said: "The only part that was new, was the acting. But again I had Amanda, I had Charlize [Theron], I had Neil [Patrick Harris].
"I have this great cast of people. Every time you're playing opposite somebody it's one of these people who is so good and so experienced there just throwing stimulus at you and it just makes it easier."

Kim Kardashian has shared pictures from her wedding.
The reality TV star posted two pictures of her marrying Kanye West at the Forte di Belvedere in Florence, Italy, at the weekend on her Instagram page.
In one shot he can be seen holding her hand as their guests clap the newlyweds, and in the other they are embraced in a kiss.
She simply captioned the pictures: "Mr. and Mrs. Kanye West."
The pictures show off Kim's elegant Givenchy haute couture gown, while Kanye looks particularly smart in custom fitted Givenchy tuxedo.
After the ceremony, the happy couple and their wedding party enjoyed a lavish reception, which included a four-course meal and seven-tiered wedding cake.
Kanye gave a 20-minute speech, and both mother and father of the bride Kris and Bruce Jenner spoke to wish the couple well.
Kim and Kanye's first dance was to 'All of Me', which was performed live by their friend John Legend, who also raised a toast to them.
Kim's sister, Khloe, has also posted a picture from the event, of her gazing over the Italian skyline.
She captioned it: "E vissero felici e contenti..." which is Italian for "And they lived happily ever after..."
Following their wedding celebrations - which started in Paris, France, last Friday (23.05.14) - the couple have now moved on to Ireland, where they are enjoying a honeymoon in Cork, Ireland, staying at the exclusive Castlemartyr Resort.

Miranda Kerr gives away most of her clothes.
The former Victoria's Secret model is gifted many garments, but doesn't like to have an overflowing wardrobe, so has put a system in place to ensure she never keeps too many.
She told Lucky magazine: "I have a philosophy. I give a couple of pieces away for every one that I get. I live in New York City and I have a small closet, and it's also a good way to keep the flow, so my closet is constantly being turned over."
Miranda, 31, has three-year-old son Flynn with estranged husband Orlando Bloom, and even though he's still a toddler, she says he has a great sense of fun.
She added: "Motherhood is the best. Flynn makes me laugh so much. We have the same sense of humour, which no one else understands. I'll look at something and laugh, and then he'll laugh, and it's so contagious."
The elegant brunette also gave away a few style tips, saying she uses cleanser, toner and moisturiser every day, as well as rose-hip oil at night.
Miranda is also a fan of smoothies and concocts them with goji berries, maca powder and vitamins.
She added: "I put them in a shake. I feel like it's more palatable that way."

Bill Murray crashed a bachelor party over the weekend.
The 'Kingpin' actor offered words of advice at the celebration after he was spotted dining in the same restaurant in Charleston, South Carolina.
One of the groom's party had offered to send the actor and his friends drinks, as well as asking him to come and say a few words to the groom, known as E.J.
Although Bill initially politely declined, he approached the party a few minutes later and gave a few choice words.
In a video posted on Deadspin.com, he says: "Listen here, I'm going to give you all advice because it's too late for this guy [the groom].
"If you have someone who you think is the one, don't just sort of think, 'OK, let's make a date, let's plan this and make a party and get married.'
"Take that person and travel around the world. Buy a plane ticket for the two of you to travel all around the world and go to places that are hard to go to and hard to get out of.
"And if when you come back to JFK, when you land at JFK, and you're still in love with that person, get married at the airport."
The 'Ghostbusters' star - who is famous for his random interactions with ordinary members of the public - also encouraged the bachelor party to have fun.
He added: "You know how funerals are not for the dead, they're for the living? Bachelor parties are not for the groom, they're for the unmarried."

Queen will release new tracks featuring Freddie Mercury singing later this year.
The legendary 'We Will Rock You' band's frontman died in 1991, but drummer Roger Taylor and guitarist Brian May have since carried on with the group and are currently putting together a new album including recordings made with Freddie before he passed away.
Brian told the BBC: "We found a few more tracks with Freddie singing and all of us playing and they are quite beautiful.
"It is a compilation but will have this material that nobody in the world has ever heard. I think people will really enjoy it."
The musician added the material comes from when they band were at their height and will most likely be called 'Queen Forever'.
He said: "Most of it comes from the 80s when we were in full flight. It is quite emotional. It is the big, big ballads and the big, big epic sound. It wouldn't have been if we hadn't have done this restoration job.
"We had to start from scratch because we only had scraps. But knowing how it would have happened if we had finished it, I can sit there and make it happen with modern technology."
The band previously released a posthumous album 'Made in Heaven' in 1995, also featuring vocals recorded by Freddie before he passed away. That was also the last Queen album to feature bass player John Deacon, who retired two years later.
Since that time the band have worked with singers Paul Rodgers and Adam Lambert.
Last year Brian said a previously unheard collaboration between Freddie and Michael Jackson would be released, but it is not clear if it will be included on the new album.
