Tavis Smiley interview

Interview0 Comments

Lewis discusses his career, including the HBO miniseries Band of Brothers and the Showtime drama, Homeland, in this interview for PBS. On politics:

Yes, as much as I live in a democracy and I take an interest and want the right people leading the country. But you reach a certain level in what you do. You get lobbied quite a lot by whichever party is in power. You get invited to little dinner and things like that, and you have to be careful. I’ve been careful, at least, not to nail my colors to the mast too much.
