He underwent a brain scan as well because his feet were shuffling while he was walking. He was diagnosed by medical professionals as having Parkinson’s disease. Fortunately, I discovered I had it late in life, and they claim you only ever make very slow, if any, progress. I take the right medications, so I’m fine. My stand-up performance is over. All I’m concentrating on right now is my acting and writing”.
The films “Robin Hood: Men in Tights,” “Leaving Las Vegas,” and “Vamps” are just a few of Lewis’ big-screen credits. ”. Additionally, he has made guest appearances on several TV programs, including “7th Heaven,” “George Lopez,” “BoJack Horseman,” and “Dr. Licensured Mental Health Counselor Katz”.
