I didn't go to university http://beeg.in.net/ beeg con I got cast in Downton just like any other job. I read three scripts and had no inkling it would take off in the way it has. We film from February to August and it is full-on for me: as the butler I hold the fort on both sides so when I’m downstairs, all the posh people have a week off and when I’m upstairs, all the larrikins in the kitchen have a week off. It is hard work and it can be a grind but it’s a good atmosphere.
