Irish Actor Could Return to Downton Abbey

The third series of Downton Abbey might well be finishing but it might not be the last time you see it or handsome Irish actor Allen Leech.

According to The Sun newspaper the star from Dublin could end up reprising his role as chauffeur Tom Branson.

 

Allen Leech plays Tom Branson in the successful show.

The 31-year-old revealed: “There’s stories still to be told there and maybe for Tom too.” 

If Allen was to return, it would make his already lucky break even luckier as Allen confessed he was originally cast for a minor role.

“I was literally hired for three episodes. Julian (Fellowes who created the period drama) came up to me after the first series and said, ‘If we get commissioned, I’ve got great plans for your character.’”

The third series finale of the show will air on TV3 this week.
