"Damian Lewis has joked that he has trouble dropping the American accent he uses in Homeland. The British actor joked to GQ that playing American soldier-turned-traitor Nicholas Brody on the Showtime series has odd effects on his real-life speech pattern.  &amp;quot;At this point, I don&amp;#039;t know what accent will come out when I order coffee in the morning,&amp;quot; Lewis joked. He went on to quip that the brooding he does while playing the conflicted Brody often makes him appear more intense than in reality. &amp;quot;I know it looks like I&amp;#039;m thinking deep thoughts on the show, but I&amp;#039;m probably just trying to remember my next line,&amp;quot; he teased. Lewis added: &amp;quot;[Brody is] a lot of fun to play because he behaves badly in extremis.&amp;quot; The actor recently signed a new five-year deal to play Brody for seven seasons total on Homeland. Homeland airs on Showtime in the US and Channel 4 in the UK. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
