Having not been familiar with “Downton Abbey” I knew very little about one of the series stars Dan Stevens. And while he may not be a household name, he certainly will be one soon. With his mesmerizing work in the upcoming thriller THE GUEST as well as his supporting role opposite the great Liam Neeson in A WALK AMONG THE TOMBSTONES, I have a feeling he will be a major name very soon. In his latest, he plays a very bad man who has something very bad happen to somebody he loves.
After his wonderful work in both of these impressive features, it was even more exciting meeting this charismatic leading man. We talked about playing somebody like Kenny Kristo in TOMBSTONES, a man who in nearly every other film would be the bad guy. Stevens – much like Neeson – is an absolutely terrific fellow to chat with and he is damn good in both of his upcoming films. You can check him out in A WALK AMONG THE TOMBSTONES this Friday at a theatre near you.
