Tom Cullen Will Visit 'Downton Abbey' in Season 4

For those who don't recognize the name of this bloke, we pity you. And for those of you familiar with Cullen's work in the 2011 indie darling Weekend, we're jumping for joy along with you.

Over the weekend, more casting news for Downton Abbey's Matthew-and-Sybil-less fourth season broke, and the British thespian was among the many names tossed into the revolving door of actors who are dropping in and out of everyone's favorite countryside mansion.

He'll play a visiting Lord Gillingham, an old friend of the family's who shows up for -- shocker -- a dinner party.

Let's hope ITV and PBS join forces to air new episodes simultaneously in the US and UK when they become available so us Americans don't have to wait the extra three months for more Dowager goodness.
