"Homeland star Damian Lewis has insisted that he enjoys playing the conflicted Nicholas Brody. The actor told TVLine that he is happy for his performance to have provoked a mixed reaction.  &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t mind playing unlikeable roles,&amp;quot; he explained. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve done it before. One of the things you should seek to achieve as an actor is that your character is understood somehow.  &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve had people come up to me and say, &amp;#039;You&amp;#039;re a guy who is going to blow up the vice president, you&amp;#039;re lying to your wife and you just generally scare the hell out of us, because you are unpredictable and unknown - and yet we oddly kind of liked you&amp;#039;.&amp;quot; The actor added that it is the viewer&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;choice&amp;quot; to decide whether or not Brody&amp;#039;s actions can be justified. &amp;quot;Some people will... choose to not like you, and that&amp;#039;s fine,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;But... we were at great pains to find motivations for him, and [the writers] successfully did that. &amp;gt; Homeland season two casts Good Wife actor Tim Guinee &amp;quot;In the 17th century, when actors were given a play, &amp;#039;the argument&amp;#039; was the word for the script, and I approach characters like that. I put forward my side of the argument.&amp;quot; Homeland exec Howard Gordon recently revealed that Brody&amp;#039;s daughter Dana (Morgan Saylor) will grow suspicious of her father in the show&amp;#039;s second season. &amp;quot;She&amp;#039;s processed a lot,&amp;quot; said Gordon. &amp;quot;We don&amp;#039;t quite know what she thinks of that last call she made to him, so we&amp;#039;ll find out!&amp;quot; Homeland will return to Showtime in the US on September 30. Channel 4 has picked up the rights to air season two in the UK, with a late 2012 broadcast planned.
