My Take
To me, Allen Leech will always be Tom Branson, the chauffeur turned son-in-law on Downton Abbey, and I think that arc is what made the show feel alive. Branson was the outsider who got to say what the audience was thinking about the old aristocracy, and Leech played him with just enough chip on the shoulder to keep it honest. I was also struck by his turn as Paul Prenter in Bohemian Rhapsody, a far less likable figure. He is Irish, trained at Trinity College Dublin, and I respect that he came up through stage work like A Streetcar Named Desire before the screen fame arrived.
