There has been much criticism in the past one year that too many stars of the stage and screen are white, middle-class and privately educated, but the actor says people like him, who have been privately educated are as much of a "minority" as anyone else, reported The Guardian.
"A handful of actors from privileged backgrounds have done very well and of course that's high-profile news. But wherever I work, as an actor educated at Eton, I'm still always in a minority.
"What is true and always rewarding about the acting profession is that everyone has a similar story about being in a minority, from whatever background," Lewis says.
