Downton Abbey Cast on the Today Show

[@louisec645]

who'd of thought by the end of the last series we'd all and up loving Thomas!

[@Ace-ki3rr]

I've loved Thomas from the beginning, y'all were just missing out!

[@demeko96]

same @Marvin Lee ! As Rob always says, Thomas is just misunderstood. once you get that, you can only love him and his complexity.

[@jeble5341]

We all loved Thomas from Coronation Street, didn’t we.

[@skyhigh33716]

louise C I never did

[@ridinreiners]

He was incredibly nasty. He’s on probation since he turned nice. We’ll see what happens.

[@calliecalliej.6431]

They are all such charming actors/actresses and it's also interesting to see them outside of post-Edwardian outfits & wearing contemporary clothes! Love Downton Abbey!

[@sofiasoto3171]

Elizabeth Mcgovern the #queen ❤

[@HunterGrey]

It shows the actor who plays the Thomas character is really superb

[@soapwonder]

I am such a fan! Great to see them out of costume and talk about the show! FAB

[@RitaAnne]

He really is but we were talking about it at work and I said Thomas has become one of my favorite characters and after the first season I thought that is impossible. BUT Thomas not only being "dreamy" but as the character is the best when he is being true to who he really is. The scene with Mrs. Hughes in Season 3 was heartfelt and heartbreaking..Ok I know I am obsessed...LOL

[@kirstinpierce3019]

She doesn't ask ''thomas''rob enough questions,I love him!!soooo hot in the show

[@RocknRoRose]

always like Mr. Barrows kinda evil but man o man he's sooooo good in Season 3.

[@franksantiago215]

Downton abby is awesome

[@amber-rosebegay7350]

I love downton abbey!! They need to add season 2 and 3 to Netflix!!

[@luv3daysgrace1]

Love Rob!❤️

[@ft06jg89]

I love downton Abbey1!!!!!!

[@RitaAnne]

Who thought evil "Thomas" is really that good looking..OMGGG!!

[@madamewho]

I worship his eyebrows!!!!!!

[@RitaAnne]

When I wrote that particular comment about "Thomas" I had only watched season 1, now I have watched the entire show and I know longer think his character is evil, in fact he is one of my favs...So not one dimensional!! AND I still think he is HOT! LOL

[@oliviacapasso2905]

I cant wait for the next season to come out!!!!!

[@laminage]

Rob James Collier and Joanna Froggatt like their American Counterparts, got their start on Britian's Longest Running Soap Opera Coronation St that debuted in 1960 and is still on the air. They were on at different times though.

[@wkbfutewc]

Joanne Froggatt played the doomed sister of Myra Hindley in See no Evil. Her performance there was better than Downton. She is a superb actress. I think Julian Fellowes gave her the rape story because he knew she could nail the emotion and she did.

[@Redorgreenful]

Wow. I can't imagine Lord Grantham in anything other than a full suit. This outfit looks like a dress down. lol

[@BengaliLibra]

LOVE THE SHOW!! ❤❤❤

[@OnlyTheTruthSorry]

I like these brits they seem to be cool and humble.

[@BreakMyViolinHeart]

Jim Carter DESERVES someone stopping on him on the street to worship his eyebrows! xD

[@LGranthamsHeir]

Sophie McShera (Daisy) looks so different here. I thought at first she's Michelle Dockery because their hairstyle's so alike.

[@RandyGent]

That's a 5:00 o'clock shadowed Rob James-Collier (aka Thomas the footman).

[@ElxVEVO]

I'm reading all the comments in British accent

[@guerrerotaylor]

OMG! Rob is GOOOORGEOUS! :) YUM

[@bayer54]

I love every character of this show! Sensational !

[@artmonkey24]

I've been watching The View, Anderson Cooper and now this interview the Downton Abbey cast. It looks like Rob is wearing the same shirt in all three, and the rest seem to be wearing the same outfits as well. Did they do all of these interviews in one day or something?

[@oz_media]

When doing a promo tour in another country, it's most common to spend 16-18 hours going from one interview to another. That's the work part that actors and musicians deal with.

[@NightinMadrid]

ozmedia I agree,they probably have a tight schedule,probably have to go on 5 or 6 interviews in a day.

[@amysnewlife84]

Barrows is hot. What else is he on? I love him on Downton Abbey. ❤️

[@maryschroeder1533]

Ackley Bridge and Fate: The Winx Saga currently. He did a pretty good horror movie called The Ritual.

[@Emmannie]

Isn't he dreamy?! In another interview, he's referred to his character as "NOT evil, but misunderstood" haha, which I disagreed w/at first to be honest! Thomas is just.. odd, I guess :)

[@zarcilla82]

its weird for them to talk about season 3 when they already had aired and promoted it here in the UK but i'm really happy its doing so well in the States. i can't wait for the christmas episode ^_^

[@laminage]

This is without a doubt the best Show to ever come out of England. Oh here's another fun fact for the US Fans. Rob James Collier and Joanna Froggat were both on The Same Soap Opera at different times called Coronation St. He played Liam Connor who can do a great American Accent. Type in Corrie Actors Impersonating Americans. Joanna Froggat played a Teen Mom named Zoe Tattersal and she also played inmate Rachel Hicks on a show called Bad Girls who killed herself in Episode 4.

[@RitaAnne]

Thank you and I have, you would be most correct my life is now complete...LOL...he is a doll...

[@mimmar3891]

Do you watch Downton? It's Thomas!!! And yes, he is looking a bit different and very sexy, but still quite recognizable, I thought! (Yes, I have a bit of a fan girl crush on him, and I feel so sorry for the loneliness and rejection that has turned him so bitter.)

[@Fizzichs]

Not sure, but she is *gorgeous*, you have to admit!

[@OliviaSGilbert]

I thought that was Michelle dockery next to Anna (Joanne)!! Took me half the interview to realise it was daisy lol

[@abbierigley4910]

I did aswell I want details on season 4 :)

[@laurawood81]

Bet they had to subtitle the good owd northern accents - doink! Go Rob 'n' work the Manc t'confuse 'em even more - lol! Re the comment about American being the original english accent - read Mist Over Pendle in it's original form - no mention of Starbucks or MacDonalds *shock* Good luck deciphering old Lancashire dialect. Hehe, made myself laugh now ... Cannot wait for the new series - love you Hugh, you gorgeous creature x Byeeeeeeeeee!

[@MarcusLeepapi]

This show is really nice....Wow!!!

[@merrcoco7947]

Lol! Couldn't even recognize Thomas

[@SnowBlossom]

Tfw you've finished the show and you see her ask them about "Matthew and Mary" and you see a couple of their mouths gape open.

[@bad.tokenn]

Just took me a minute to realise they're on an american show where the third season hasn't shown yet. lol. Damn, was hoping it would be details on s4. Yay for christmas special though!

[@ac444]

Thomas reminds me of Damon Salvatore/Ian Somerhalder from Vampire Diaries here!

[@jonhammfan]

They did this interview the same day as Anderson. They were wearing the same clothes! hahaha.

[@Salmagundiii]

Yes Michelle isn't in this video so I didn't mention her, but she's one of the most noticeable. For one thing unlike most of the rest of the cast (but not the daughters) she's from SE England. Her native accent is probably "estuary English".

[@laminage]

I know love. I live in Canada and on Corrie we are about One Year Behind. : - D. Hey did you see Simone Lahbib (Ex-Helen Stewart) Bad Girls on the Show. She's be a great addition.

[@madamewho]

I don't think they could have possibly found an interviewer that wasn't a fan of Downton Abbey!

[@zerofox641]

Who the heck is the dude in the back next to carson?

[@chocothebananacat7686]

Coming back 8 years later to tell you that it's Thomas lol

[@sorcha123]

Woah Jim Carter looks well!

[@babyfacedassassin24]

Does Elizabeth seem a bit gloomy or is it just me??

[@loonylovesgood]

I think she's just shy in interviews....sometimes shy people are mistaken for being gloomy or snobby. Trust me, I know...

[@pattipie12]

He is pretty darn hot looking in this interview!

[@mashanl08]

I was hoping to see Michelle Dockery & Dan Stevens in this interview. Hmm, where are they??? :l

[@kingrocker44]

They're wearing the same clothes when they were on Anderson.

[@Spiderweb127]

woa they look way different in 21st century clothes

[@kaitlin312]

They have to hide so many spoilers!

[@beatrizsombrerito]

I could not recognized Thomas either!!!

[@LGranthamsHeir]

No Dan Stevens (Matthew) even though he's also in NYC now?? This brings more jitters in me that he's leaving after all :-(.

[@ellenkingsley]

Daisy and Anna get promoted in this series

[@lannes2000]

I love anna

[@Jenjenilou]

What a load of bollocks. Educate yourself before writing such nonsense. Dozens of regional accents across the British Isles existed long before America was a twinkle in a seafaring explorer's eye, and exist to this day. 'High class English' (as you call it) is not how ''the English accent was born'. A tiny percentage of English people speak in that way - the majority don't. Neither is American the 'original English accent'. It is a hybrid dialect derived from an amalgam of European settlers.

[@mimmar3891]

I'm American, but I'm such a British television/movies fanatic that I actually can hear the difference in the way they talk in interviews versus in Downton. The difference in how Michelle Dockery speaks as Mary and the way she does in real life is especially pronounced, but other Americans I've mentioned this to haven't noticed! (By the way, most Americans wouldn't know what you meant by posh!) I'm also the only American fan I know who doesn't have trouble at times understanding the accents.

[@carolynargabright8132]

Joanne Froggatt looks glam out of character. Love Hugh B.

[@m.a.slipka3287]

Missed this.... glad there was no spoiler... well almost... Hugh looks a little rough

[@Daiin0]

Mr Carson!!

[@pattimuse1]

Elizabeth may be someone who's uncomfortable in interviews.

[@MsPatataki]

Carson is great!!!

[@Salmagundiii]

It's not strange that you think that - especially if you're American, but in fact most of them sound different than they do in character. Less posh. Particularly Hugh and Joanne. Of course she's from the north like most of the cast, but in the show they are doing period accents.

[@snowfall8484]

i think its just her personality..shes actually seems a bit cheerier here than usual lol

[@RocknRoRose]

very nice. I didnt like him in season 1 either *lol* I liked Matthew in season 1 but when he got better from his military accident I started not to like him. So I guess Barrows is starting to get some awesome fans now eh? Cant wait until Season 4. So sad I dont live in the UK

[@snowfall8484]

inr, same! haha

[@linegenrou]

always thought he was good looking...

[@3636Clarence]

Each actor seems to have a different accent..

[@carolynargabright8132]

Rob "Thomas", is good-looking on the show, but it seems nobody can get past His evilness.

[@P0TTERMAN]

Funny how the servants ratio is 4:2 lol :-P

[@52Chrylrex]

I thought so, too, but perhaps she just isn't good at interviews or talking w/o a script. Some people just aren't very talkative.

[@yoonhwan75]

free bate!

[@jaysicka06]

I've never watched this

[@NUKEBOOSTER94]

ur joking right?

[@jillchamberlain3041]

Are people in Burton I’ve got more funds for damp damp in a bit then then America is our work are people are actors and we love it this belongs in England not America I don’t see America can really really appreciate like we do we know a bit more history and we appreciate it we understand it with Americans don’t always understand take Megan to eat for instance cheese and understand I’ll I’ll call Teresa at all or I are history at all so don’t make out that Americans love this

[@FreiherrvonWeilberg]

rip mathew!

[@mattaugusto1482]

Spoiler alert!

[@Se31298]

And just so u know, Americans don't 'yank' offensively or any or any other of ur slang. Intact we think its pretty damn hilarious

[@BSgirlpt2]

spoiler alert!! lool

[@sui6hang]

管家看起来廋了了，托马斯留胡子看起来好多了~

[@shhea]

That's all you've got to point out? British people might think YOU talk funny.

[@RoyG.BivDevoe]

What the lump is that....THOMAS??

[@markgable101]

English in America had to be simplified because other European immigrants came there as time went by. The original English spoken by the colonist was more or less bastardised. I mean when do the English say "felony" or " semester .???

[@deepabharadwaj7224]

1980

[@alexhoman2621]

they talk funny

[@babyfacedassassin24]

i hate it when hosts r also fans...taints the interview...

[@Ingrid0410]

This newscaster/interviewer is horrendous! I will never watch her!

[@damianrhea8875]

Her speech & mannerism remind so much of Katie Couric... Very eerie. I will avoid her too.

[@Ingrid0410]

But I adore Downton Abbey!!!

[@demeko96]

She's actually much better than some other interviewers on shows like Good Morning America... Watch the videos of the DA cast on that show, you'll be scandalized :-(

[@Se31298]

I hate to stir the pot, but study in linguistics strongly suggests that the American accent was the original accent used in England. When settlers colonised America, they retained it. But to distinguish between social classes, high class ppl in England began talking differently than commoners, and the accent defended that classes. Thus, the English accent was born. So in conclusion, us Americans talk normally and you English talk wierd.

[@susanmay7807]

You Americans have different accents across America
