His dramatic departure from popular TV series Downton Abbey incited some viewers to threaten to give up television completely, but it seems Dan Stevens departed wisely as he has made a quick and smooth transition into feature film. In the past two years he has worked on an impressive eight movies, with no sign of slowing down. In his new thriller, The Guest, Dan plays a gentlemanly veteran who turns up at the home of a bereaved American family claiming to have known their son in Afghanistan.
