Biography/Timeline

1922

It was originally presumed that Lewis was born in Jamaica. However, Lewis later revealed in an interview for the 229th issue of Empire, "So I had lied on my resume. I was born in Trinidad, so I said I had done all this acting in Trinidad, 'cos I figured, who the hell's going to figure that out?" Despite this, Lewis stated on that same interview that he was from the Caribbean. Lewis confirmed in another interview that part of his family is of Jamaican descent. According to Reap Mediazine, Lewis is originally from New Jersey.

He later said in another interview, " I was helping them cast the movie." At the time, Lewis had been participating in play which was viewed by a casting Director for Cool Runnings. Liking his performance, the casting Director later called Lewis and said, "Hey, we're working on this movie about the Jamaican bobsled team and we want to make sure these guys have a good Jamaican accent. Can you do a good Jamaican accent?" Lewis agreed to audition and on November 1992, he won what became his most recognized role, Junior Bevil.
