William Thomas Lewis
William Thomas Lewis (1748?–1811), known as "Gentleman" Lewis, due to his refined acting style, was an English actor. He was said to be "the most complete fop on the stage". In later life he went into theatrical management.
==Early days in Ireland==
The son of William Lewis, a linendraper on Tower Hill, London, later an actor and manager in Ireland, he was born at Ormskirk, Lancashire, in or about 1748 (there is disagreement about his birth date); he had a Welsh clerical background, and was rumoured to be a great-grandson of Erasmus Lewis. He was brought up in Armagh.
A juvenile actor from very young, Lewis first appeared as "Mr. Lewis" in the playbill when he acted Colonel Briton in Susannah Centlivre's comedy ''The Wonder''. Under Willian Dawson, Lewis appeared (1770–71) at Capel Street Theatre, Dublin.〔On 26 February 1770 he was Sir Harry Newburgh in Hugh Kelly's ''False Delicacy''. Hastings in ''The Tragedy of Jane Shore'' by Nicholas Rowe followed.〕 He rapidly became popular in the city. On 19 February 1771 he was Belcour in ''The West Indian'' by Richard Cumberland, a part he made his own. On 4 May 1772, at the at Crow Street Theatre, Tate Wilkinson saw him play Romeo to the Juliet of Mrs. Sparks.〔
