    Irish-born Allen Leech earned a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Drama and Theatre Studies from Trinity College, Dublin. He had worked steadily with small parts when he auditioned for Downton Abbey and got a then-small role of the chauffeur. Leech only signed on for three episodes, but when series creator-writer Julian Fellowes saw the chemistry between Leech and Jessica Brown Findlay, a new storyline was concocted — and Allen Leech’s career took off! He’s been on the big screen without the Crawleys too, so quite a rise for this Irish rebel.
