The Ipcress Copy: Damian Lewis is spitting image of Michael Caine's iconic character Harry Palmer as he films Our Kind of Traitor
Imitation is said to be the sincerest form of flattery – and hopefully Michael Caine’s aware of that.
Damian Lewis, 43, has been spotted filming for his new role in Our Kind of Traitor on the banks of the Thames river looking like Michael’s character Harry Palmer from hit 1960s movie The Ipcress File.
Wearing a beige Aquascutum overcoat and thick-rimmed glasses Damian’s character, a member of British intelligence, looks like the spitting image of Harry Palmer - a British army sergeant forcibly drafted into the security services to work away a prison sentence.

Damian was filming scenes on the banks of the river Thames in London, wearing a beige overcoat, a plaid scarf and smart trousers.
His trademark red locks were swept to one side and he prowled along the shore taking a phone call for most of the scene.
The former Homeland actor drew in quite a crowd of fans as he filmed in the capital city; the droves of fans lined up to watch the 43-year-old.
