British actor Damian Lewis has reportedly been forced to pull out of a key amateur soccer match with his former schoolmates due to filming commitments.

The Homeland star is said to have been playing for the Old Etonian Veterans side, made up of former pupils at Eton College in Berkshire, England throughout this season and the team has made it through to the final of the Derrick Moore Cup in the over-35s competition.

However, Lewis will have to miss the crucial match as it clashes with his movie filming schedule, according to Britain's Daily Mail newspaper.

The actor is currently working on a drama called Our Kind of Traitor, with Ewan MCGregor, which has been filming in the U.K.

The report states Lewis' brother Gareth will still be playing in the game against Harrow in London on Sunday (27Apr14).
