The American Brother

Paul Giamatti on-set with the crew of Downton Abbey.

Paul Giamatti will appear in one episode of Season 4 of Downton Abbey as Cora's American brother.  It would appear either the casting directors or Julian Fellowes enjoy this Conneticut native's style as he was also filming Romeo and Juliet Fellowes' style earlier this year.  Giamatti has a rather lengthy acting career behind him, totally 83 credits alone on IMDB.  I personally am excited to see him in Saving Mr. Banks, which will be coming to America before Downton Abbey.  Saving Mr. Banks is a behind-the-scenes look at making the beloved Mary Poppins books into the Disney film.  To be perfectly frank, I am just excited to see Pamela Travers (performed by Emma Thompson) become peevish over made up lyrics and tossing papers out the window.
