I won't pretend that "Downton Abbey" was great television (I hear you snickering over there, goldvermilion87!). But I will say that I'm going to miss Maggie Smith on my television, very, very much. She is never less than a delight.

I promised to do this some time ago, for msantimacassar's meme, but it's taken me quite a while to come up with actors for all the major roles. Jerry Cruncher and Dr. Manette were especially difficult for some reason. But I think I'm finally satisfied. (Left out some of the smaller roles, like Ernest Defarge, Stryver, the Marquis, and The Vengeance. I had to stop somewhere or I'd never get finished. Feel free to offer suggestions for them, though -- or to offer alternate suggestions for anyone I've cast!)

( Starting off with the minor players . . .  )

I wouldn't call Downton Abbey one of my favorite shows. I probably wouldn't even put it in the top fifty. (Just a little too soap opera-ish for my tastes.) The only reason I have the icon that's on this post is that Maggie Smith is awesome. But dang, people are coming up with such amazing DA artwork these days that I may just load up on DA icons anyhow. Check these out!
