Lincoln Clay Lewis (born 24 October 1987) is an Australian actor. He is best known for playing the role of Geoff Campbell in the Australian television series, Home and Away from 2007 to 2010, and Kevin Holmes in the film Tomorrow, When the War Began.
Lewis was born in Brisbane, Queensland and attended St Anthony's Catholic Primary School in Alexandra Hills and Carmel Catholic College in Thornlands.[citation needed] He is the son of Wally Lewis, a former Australian rugby league football captain and current sports presenter on Nine News in Brisbane.
Lewis started acting at the age of 13 and had guest appearances on the television shows H2O: Just Add Water, The Sleepover Club and Mortified. He also appeared in the films Voodoo Lagoon and Aquamarine. In 2007 he joined the cast of Home and Away, playing the character Geoff Campbell. He won the "Most Popular New Male Talent Logie" at the 2008 Logie Awards. He left the show in late 2009.
In July 2009, a former Home and Away actor, Bryan Wiseman, wrote in The Sunday Telegraph alleging a culture of drug and alcohol abuse among the younger members of the cast. The allegations followed incidents involving cast-members Lincoln Lewis and Jodi Gordon. Lewis was "disciplined" by Channel Seven after it became public that he had filmed himself and a "starlet" engaged in a sexual act and then shown the film to Home and Away colleagues. Gordon and a male friend reported to police that they had seen, on a security camera, men armed with guns in the backyard of the friend's home. No men were found and the pair later admitted to police that they had consumed drugs during the day. No charges were laid.
