Damian Lewis' photographic memory shines in Pressure set

Damian Lewis' Photographic Memory

Damian Lewis has a "photographic memory" that came in handy while filming his new movie, Pressure. The film's director, Anthony Maras, revealed that Lewis was able to memorize a two-minute scene after only seeing it twice. Maras was impressed by Lewis' ability to sync his speech to the frame, to the second, of what was playing behind him. According to Maras, "He didn't have time to prepare, so initially, I was going to do it on a computer in such a way as to time it to how he spoke," but Lewis insisted he could perfect the scene after hearing the lines just twice.
