Paul Giamatti Joins DOWNTON ABBEY

Paul Giamatti has officially been cast in the fourth season of the popular British PBS series Downton Abbey. He's set to play a character named Harold Levinson, "the playboy brother of Countess Cora (Elizabeth McGovern) in the Season Four finale," alongside Shirley MacLaine, who will return as Cora’s (and his) mother Martha.

Giamatti is an amazing, versatile actor, and it will be great to see him appear in this series. He's currently shooting The Amazing Spider-Man 2. If you haven't started watching Downton Abbey yet, you should give it a shot. It might surprise you. I never thought in a million years that I'd get sucked into a show like this, but it's so good, and it just got better with the addition of Giamatti!
