Movies How the ‘Downton Abbey’ movie came together: Passion, patience and perfect timing I wanted to do it right and I wanted to prove they took a chance on me for the right reasons. “It gave me a focus I don’t think I’ve ever had because I was so afraid of not being right. But when you don’t have that and you haven’t gone through that process, which was all I ever knew, and suddenly someone is saying, ‘We want you to do this role and we trust you with this role,’ it becomes a lot of pressure.
