The date of birth shown on Axe's new passport is the real date of birth of Damian Lewis, the actor who plays him.
The press conference scenes outside of the office block were filmed in London as you can see a branch of Prêt a Manger and a Belisha beacon (a UK pedestrian crossing) in the distance. Damian Lewis was obliged to spend this series in the UK to look after his wife, Helen McCrory.
