Michelle Dockery Is Grateful For ‘Downton Abbey’s’ Longevity
For Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale star Michelle Dockery, working on the Downton Abbey TV series and subsequent movies provided her a rarity in showbiz — the opportunity to play a character for 15 years. But perhaps more importantly, those 15 years gave the actor the time to forge some important friendships.
“We say it a lot, but we are like a family. What I’ll take with me is the friendships and [I’m] just very grateful for having been part of something that has been so beloved for such a long time,” Dockery told The Hollywood Reporter in a recent interview.
“It’s quite rare, I think, in an actor’s career, to have something that you go back to — like a regular job! It’s really unusual,” Dockery added. “You don’t normally step back into something that has been ongoing for such a long time. So, yeah, I feel very grateful to have been part of it.”
Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale is expected to be released on PVOD on Tuesday.
