Thomas Barrow x Duke of Crowborough

The fact that Thomas is gay emerges towards the end of the first episode of the series about life upstairs and downstairs at a grand Edwardian country house.

“Originally there wasn’t a kiss written into the script but it felt there was a point where Thomas would naturally kiss the Duke,” says the actor.

“When I mentioned it to Charlie Cox I said ‘don’t take this the wrong way, I’m not coming on to you...but’, he was like, ‘no, don’t worry about it, I think it would be good’. And it did add an extra dynamic to the scene.

“The thing I loved about this aspect of Thomas is that he’s not a gay character but a character who is incidentally gay, which is how it should be.”

INTERVIEWER: Thomas smokes in a very dastardly way. Is that how you normally smoke? ROB: I don't smoke! My smoking was terrible in the firs

There aren't enough interviews of RJC on the internet! This one is a great little snippet

I've been taking a lot of "Which Downton Character are you?" quiz these days. I'll post the results of those soon. This one is not a quiz but apparently I'm Matthew Crawley.

I'll take it... but based on the little descriptions below each personality type I think I'm Edith.

What's yours?

PS. Thomas is described so positively here! He is not evil he just has unconventional ways to get ahead!
