Paul Giamatti is reportedly joining the cast of Downton Abbey.
And while there have been reports about Gwyneth Paltrow starring on the show, as well as stories about the Rolling Stones doing a guest spot on the hit U.K. series, unlike those past claims, Giamatti is actually going to be on the program.
TV Line says the Emmy-winning star has been cast as Harold Levinson, playboy brother of Cora, played by Elizabeth McGovern and son of Martha (Shirley MacLaine), and hes set to cause some mayhem.
Giamattis first appearance will be on the finale of Season 4, which begins in the U.S. on January 5, 2014.

Hi,
Thanks for posting this. I just got into the show so have been watching the dvds of season 1 and 2. For some reason I'm having a hard time imagining this, but I am sure he will be good. Him in those clothes will be interesting enough.
Peace
