- Of Welsh ancestry through both his parents, Lewis was born in London in 1941. His grandmother was the noted opera singer Dame Ethel Gomer Lewis, and he was also related to the actor Rupert Davies who played Maigret.
Despite being somewhat typecast as an oafish character in many of his roles, Lewis was in fact a very bookish man, and had a personal library of over 35,000 volumes.
As a young man, his flat mate was the actor Ken Morley best known for Coronation Street. The pair remained friends throughout their lives and Morley was Lewis' best man at his wedding.- IMDb mini biography by: nephihaha
- SpouseAnna Goodall(August 1, 1990 - July 17, 2007) (1 child)
- He started out as a computer operator in the RAF. He became an actor later in life after a chance encounter at a party -- a director asked him if he'd ever considered acting, and Lewis said no. The director called him a few days later and offered him a job at the Old Vic.
