An excited Tom Cullen has spoken out about his new role in Downton Abbey, claiming he feels his ‘heart is beating a little too fast’.
The Welsh actor, 27, confirmed the news that he has been cast in the forthcoming new series of the ITV period drama to his followers on Twitter.
He tweeted: ‘I can announce that I’m in the new season four of Downton Abbey. So excited. My heart is beating a little too fast…’
Cullen, who has appeared in the first series of Black Mirror and hit indie film Weekend, took the chance to thank his fans for their support.
He added: ‘Thank you for all the amazing messages. Really touched.’
Carnival Films and Masterpiece on PBS – which broadcasts the show in the US – announced the news that Cullen would be joining the cast as Lord Gillingham.
His character, who is tipped to be widow Lady Mary’s new love interest, is described as ‘an old family friend of the Crawleys who visits the family as a guest for a house party’.
But he may find himself a love rival in the form of dashing aristocrat Charles Blake, played by Smash star Julian Ovenden.
Other new additions to the cast include EastEnders star Nigel Harman, who is playing a valet named Green, and Dame Harriet Walter, who is taking the role of as Lady Shackleton, an old friend of the Dowager.
Joanne David will make a guest appearance as the Duchess of Yeovil while Dame Kiri Te Kanawa will cameo as a soprano set to sing during her visit to the house.
