Downton Abbey Stars On-Screen Vs. Off-Screen
By Elizabeth Thompson
Papermag was poking around on PBS' Downton Abbey website recently, when we noticed a video Q&A with actress Siobhan Finneran (who plays meddling maid O'Brien) and were struck by how glamorous she was in real life. This got us wondering what the rest of the cast looked like out of their 1912 frocks and waist coats, and, below, we've rounded up some off-screen versus on-screen photo comparisons for your viewing pleasure. (All we'll say is hello actor-who-plays-Mr.-Bates Brendan Coyle! We'd let you help us dress for dinner any day of the week) Check out all the pics below.
P.S. Spoiler-ish alert: If you haven't seen any of season 2, you're about to meet some new characters. Also, this list does not include new season-three cast member Shirley MacLaine. You'll just have to guess what she looks like with a giant hat on.On-screen: Mr. Bates, played by Brendan Coyle

This is fantastic! (Love that you added the dogs at the end too)
Posted at 2:28 on Feb 02, 2012
Thought you might enjoy this. O'Brien looks so glamourous.
Posted at 4:09 on Feb 02, 2012
Love the comparisons, just adore Maggie Smith as the Dowager Countess, but then again I fell in love with Maggie years ago when she appeared in the movie " Evil under the Sun". I would also add that this cast is superb. Thanks for sharing it with us here in America.
Posted at 4:37 on Feb 02, 2012
I LOVED this! I am a Downton Abbey groupie and so enjoyed seeing what the characters were like in real life. Thanks.
Posted at 4:50 on Feb 02, 2012
So very interesting. Thanks.
Posted at 5:10 on Feb 02, 2012
It's funny, for the "upper class" characters, the actors often look really good in costume, for the "servants," they ALWAYS look better in their own clothes!
Posted at 5:51 on Feb 02, 2012
That just made my day!!!!!
Posted at 7:34 on Feb 02, 2012
Michelle Dockery is gorgeous
Posted at 8:16 on Feb 02, 2012
I would never have recognized Phyllis Logan. She looks much younger as herself. Thank you for the photos to compare.
Posted at 9:31 on Feb 02, 2012
I love Downtown Abbey so much, but it is wierd to see all the actors with normal clothes on
Posted at 10:37 on Feb 02, 2012
This is the greatest!! A very good idea. Thank you!
Posted at 12:21 on Feb 03, 2012
Pretty cool ;D Thanks for sharing!
Posted at 1:38 on Feb 03, 2012
What a gorgeous - but hairy - lot!
Posted at 7:25 on Feb 03, 2012
Buncha ruddy cuties! Thanks for the roundup!
Posted at 8:26 on Feb 03, 2012
Wonderful story, great characters! The best there is on TV right now.
Posted at 9:29 on Feb 03, 2012
Some of the women look so shockingly different. I love all the pictures. Love, love, love the show.
Thanks.
Posted at 10:34 on Feb 03, 2012
Wow! What a good look at Downton Abbey folk behind the scenes. And a more indepth appreciation of the makeup artists and wardrobe staff.
Posted at 10:49 on Feb 03, 2012
I find Thomas completly unattractive due to his character (thought I have only seen the first episode of season 2). But the actor who plays him is more than a bit handsome when he is all scruffy
Posted at 4:01 on Feb 03, 2012
Holy crap, O'Brien! HOT!
Posted at 4:08 on Feb 03, 2012
Oh...my weekend is off to a great start, now!! Gosh, these people are the handsomest/cutest around...:-)
Posted at 4:15 on Feb 03, 2012
wow
Posted at 4:20 on Feb 03, 2012
I enjoyed seeing those photos.
Posted at 5:25 on Feb 03, 2012
Omigod! Mr. Carson is a SPANDEX CYCLIST!!!!
Posted at 6:02 on Feb 03, 2012
GREAT....JUST GREAT RIGHT DOWN TO THE DOG. LOVED THEM
Posted at 6:03 on Feb 03, 2012
Wow....Mrs.Hughes & O'Brian look amazing!
Posted at 6:27 on Feb 03, 2012
thank you.. lots of fun!
.. though my biggest challenge was getting used to an onscreen #2: warming to Hugh Bonneface as the benevolent Earl (Robert) of Crawley- because he'd been so spectacularly sinister as the sadistic Grandcourt in Daniel Deronda ! every time I saw Grandcourt appear at Downton, he made my skin crawl (-:
Posted at 6:34 on Feb 03, 2012
To me, Phyllis Logan (housekeeper Mrs Hughes) will always be the glamourous, witty, aristocratic Lady Jane Felsham of "Lovejoy." (Remember Lovejoy?) I am very glad to see that Ms Logan herself still retains her Lady Jane looks and liveliness. And what a fine actress she is!
Posted at 6:44 on Feb 03, 2012
well done!
Posted at 6:56 on Feb 03, 2012
They are so much hotter than the people they protray. That's great acting for you.
Posted at 7:16 on Feb 03, 2012
A quién le gusta Downtown Abbey?
Posted at 8:44 on Feb 03, 2012
Fabulous! I love to play this game when I am watching a period piece. Who and what do the characters actually look like on the real street we inhabit? This is a really fun post. Thank YOU!
Posted at 8:49 on Feb 03, 2012
The transformations from off camera to on camera are remarkable. Kudos to the makeup, hairstylists, and wardrobe people.
Posted at 9:01 on Feb 03, 2012
Love the dogs!
Posted at 9:03 on Feb 03, 2012
Lovely.....all of them....
Posted at 9:11 on Feb 03, 2012
WOW.
Posted at 10:25 on Feb 03, 2012
This was fun! Thank you!
Posted at 10:25 on Feb 03, 2012
This was fun! Thank you!
Posted at 10:31 on Feb 03, 2012
This is wonderful! Biggest shocker is Mrs. Hughes! Matthew Crawley is just as cute in and out of costume though!
Posted at 12:38 on Feb 04, 2012
Matthew looks like a teenager off-screen!
Posted at 4:51 on Feb 04, 2012
This is great if you're into the show!
Posted at 8:22 on Feb 04, 2012
I was really curious what the dogs looked like off-screen. Thanks for posting that.
Posted at 8:24 on Feb 04, 2012
I would never have recognised Pharaoh !!!
Posted at 9:55 on Feb 04, 2012
The two most surprising differences are Slobsn Finnerman and Phyllis Logan. It is however a testament to their ability to play the part very well on camera.
Posted at 9:57 on Feb 04, 2012
You added the dogs! That was brilliant.
Loved seeing everyone out of costume, they certainly are gorgeous.
Posted at 10:26 on Feb 04, 2012
I love this program. Keep it coming
Posted at 11:08 on Feb 04, 2012
Phyllis Logen as Mrs. Hughes was the greatest shock! In some cases, I thought that the actors/actresses looked better in costume, but certainly NOT Phyllis Logan! I've seen Brendan Coyle in a few other series, and I think that he is just sexy, period! I'm thoroughly enjoying the show, the settings, and the costumes. This was fun--thanks for posting!
Posted at 11:13 on Feb 04, 2012
Wow! Look at Mrs. Hughes! Yay for including the doggies.
Posted at 11:14 on Feb 04, 2012
OMG, what an eye-opener. Handsome lot aren't they?!
Posted at 2:44 on Feb 04, 2012
The three that shocked me the most (in a good way) were the actresses who play O'Brien and Mrs. Hughes.
And I LOVE Thomas 'The Gay Scoundrel Footman Who Looks Like A Vampire' but that pic of him in glasses looking like Steve Jobs the Younger is ridiculously HOT.
Posted at 3:46 on Feb 04, 2012
Very good. I enjoued
Posted at 4:31 on Feb 04, 2012
Marvelous! I am stlll mystified why American writers, producers, and actors cannot produce series of this quality unless they include gratuitous violence, foul language, and morally ambiguous themes. Sopranos is an example.
LGK
Posted at 5:45 on Feb 04, 2012
The on and off screen dogs were v.funny
Posted at 6:59 on Feb 05, 2012
Logan and Finneran seem remarkably changed for the series just by the darker hair color, and a relative lack of makeup. Everyone else looks more or less as I would have expected. Love that the dogs were included!
Posted at 2:22 on Feb 05, 2012
never underestimate the power of a good outfit to create a mood! :)
Posted at 11:57 on Feb 05, 2012
amazing!!!!! great job bizzy!
Posted at 12:11 on Feb 06, 2012
eeeww! it's a bit like seeing your parents having sex! i just watched downton twice tonight and i loooove them all. but that miss o'brien. . . good god. i'm so happy she's not walking the earth!
Posted at 12:58 on Feb 06, 2012
What a treat seeing so many from DA in their 'normal' suits!
Posted at 11:27 on Feb 06, 2012
thought you'd enjoy----xo Mom
Posted at 1:35 on Feb 06, 2012
It was such a pleasure seeing what these folks look like in real life! Really humanized them for me. Hazel
Posted at 2:37 on Feb 06, 2012
For my fellow Downton Abbey enthusiasts.
Posted at 4:18 on Feb 06, 2012
WHOA. Awesome fun!
Posted at 5:02 on Feb 06, 2012
Thanks, that was great!!
Posted at 5:20 on Feb 06, 2012
simple wonderful
Posted at 7:42 on Feb 06, 2012
wow! thanks for that, loved the dog shots
Posted at 8:47 on Feb 06, 2012
WOW!!!!! the most dramatic change is Ms O'Brien...she is beautiful!
My favorities are Mary and Matthew.....lovely,lovely and then there is Sybil!!! McGovern always is charming....Lord Grantham ...yum
Posted at 10:15 on Feb 06, 2012
Jus wait!
Posted at 11:34 on Feb 06, 2012
The dog is beautiful and so is Dan Stevens. I am salivating! This is indeed a beautiful and talented cast.
Posted at 12:39 on Feb 07, 2012
Splendid! Splendid! Thank you indeed for the excellent idea. Uber gorgeous cast on and off screen. I love the show!
Posted at 12:45 on Feb 07, 2012
Kudos to the costumers and makeup staff of the show...and to the actors themselves for making their characters to believable and consistent.
Posted at 1:27 on Feb 07, 2012
Mr Bates! I think I love you,...
Posted at 3:37 on Feb 07, 2012
Loving this blog - Literally fantastic because I'm such a fan of Downton Abbey and to see the stars on and off screen is fascinating!
Lizzy x
Posted at 2:07 on Feb 07, 2012
Wow! All the Downton Abbey women look beautiful in their off-screen photos.
But I have to add that the actors playing O'Brien, Ethel, Anna and Mrs. Hughes are knock-outs in their off-screen looks. They must all be very dedicated to their craft to allow their beautiful looks played down for the sake of a character.
Love it!!
Posted at 3:08 on Feb 07, 2012
This is so fun! Love the difference in "Mrs. Hughes" and it's good to see "William" and "Daisy" relaxing a bit, for once....
Posted at 3:35 on Feb 07, 2012
We cant wait for each episode,We love Downton Abby and its Cast. Thanks for sharing it here in Amerika.
Posted at 4:33 on Feb 07, 2012
How cool!
Posted at 4:51 on Feb 07, 2012
One of the best shows Masterpiece Theater has done. All the characters fit their respective rolls
wonderfully!! I hope the story goes on for years. It's great to see them out of character. Thanks
Posted at 5:26 on Feb 07, 2012
Great photo review of cast. Wonderful character studies & performances by every performer, thanks for two great seasons of episodes..
Posted at 7:50 on Feb 07, 2012
Love Doughton Abbey. Just finished the book, "Lady Almina and the Real Doughton Abbey", The Lost Legacy of Highclere Castle. This book is written by Lady Fiona Carnarvon who is married to the current Earl of Carnarvon. They took over Highclere eight years ago. A wonderful story of the real family.
Posted at 8:34 on Feb 07, 2012
LOVE THIS!!!!! THANKS
Posted at 9:22 on Feb 07, 2012
loved that! Thanks!
Posted at 10:44 on Feb 07, 2012
love it!!! they are all so beautiful!
Posted at 10:47 on Feb 07, 2012

Posted at 11:22 on Feb 07, 2012
his is very cool! Thank you for your effort. That must have been fun.
Posted at 11:33 on Feb 07, 2012
Good Evening, Just a note to say I am estatic about the show, and I am very much in love with the cast. I can hardly wait until the time comes for the next show. I live in Alexandria, Louisiana, and my daughter lives in New Orleans....we can not wait to critique the show, and our thoughts about the next happenings. We love all of you.

The cast is fabulous. O'Brien is gorgeous.
Posted at 11:42 on Feb 09, 2012
this is a great relief
Posted at 12:19 on Feb 09, 2012
Amazing! What stunning contrasts...thanks for this.
Posted at 12:31 on Feb 09, 2012
here are some more pics of the cast on and off screen. some BIG surpises!
Posted at 12:40 on Feb 09, 2012
Where is Maria Doyle Kennedy who plays the hateful Vera Bates? She is a beautiful woman!
Posted at 1:14 on Feb 09, 2012
Thanks so much for this. Love the contrasts. Love "Downton".
Posted at 1:21 on Feb 09, 2012
Great cast. And what great "casting". Best show ever of early 1900's.
Wish they had it on seven days a week.
Posted at 1:42 on Feb 09, 2012
Matthew Crawley has gotten better and better looking to me. He's the new Mr. Darcy.
Posted at 1:45 on Feb 09, 2012
I have huge crushes on Mr. Bates and Matthew Crawley--------now I know why!!!!!! Yikes!!!!!!!
Posted at 2:52 on Feb 09, 2012
Love it!!!
Posted at 3:03 on Feb 09, 2012
Great contrasting photos. Thanks so much for sharing with us. Someone already wrote, "Lord Grantham,yum" and I agree with this wholeheartedly! Robert Crawley is a very handsom man but he gets a double "yum" in my book without the beard. With beard he's still handsome, but much like many other bearded handsome men. As Lord Grantham he truly stands out as resounding YUM!
Posted at 3:13 on Feb 09, 2012
love it, love it, love it!!!!!
Posted at 3:17 on Feb 09, 2012
This was terrific...what make up can do eh? I have posted this on my FB page for my pals who also love Downton Abbey! Good stuff. Glad the dog got a photo too...very cute.
Posted at 3:28 on Feb 09, 2012
Love Love!!!
Posted at 3:39 on Feb 09, 2012
What an absolute treat. Thanks for this great effort, I really enjoyed the pictures of these amazing people and their characters.
Posted at 4:40 on Feb 09, 2012
My husband and I love this series and cannot wait week to week until the next one is on. Thank you all for all the enjoyment you bring us even the sad times in the shows. We are certainly glad you did the second series and maybe the third???
Posted at 5:02 on Feb 09, 2012
Downton addiction
Posted at 5:20 on Feb 09, 2012
Love, LOVE, LOVE this series! and every character in it. Every character in it is loveable and despicable...in other words, human! World War I changed the British culture drastically...and I'm glad this show makes that so clear.
Posted at 5:30 on Feb 09, 2012
OMG. This is fabulous. I knew they couldn't all look that dowdy! Thanks for sharing this.
Posted at 6:58 on Feb 09, 2012
Oh my goodness! It's so weird to see them in regular clothes!!!!!
Posted at 7:14 on Feb 09, 2012
Wonderful pictures! I have to comment that whenever Isobel Crawley is introduced I half expect someone to say, "Yes, we know who you are," (the response to her "Harriet Jones, Prime Minister," on Doctor Who).
Posted at 7:18 on Feb 09, 2012
Make-up is a wonderful thing.
Posted at 7:35 on Feb 09, 2012
Witht the exception of a few Women, everyone looks like their character would look now...
Posted at 7:36 on Feb 09, 2012
POOR SARAH OBRIEN! SHE'S ACTUALLY VERY ATTRACTIVE
Posted at 7:54 on Feb 09, 2012
Maybe I'll like Thomas more now that I've seen his off-screen photo.
Posted at 9:01 on Feb 09, 2012
I enjoyed this so much. Bravo to the hair, make-up and costume designers. And kudos to actors who know how to become one with the character. I am very impressed and LOVE the series.
I wouldn't miss an episode - wouldn't hear of it!
Posted at 9:09 on Feb 09, 2012
L-o-v-e-d these photo-matches!
What fun!
Jo
Posted at 10:10 on Feb 09, 2012
Wow, some of them look completely different. Especially Rob James Collier and Sarah O'Brien.
Posted at 10:41 on Feb 10, 2012
Enjoyed the pictures so much. Love the show!
Posted at 10:44 on Feb 11, 2012
WOW! What make-up can do.
Posted at 2:20 on Feb 11, 2012
Great seeing them like this. Wouldn't miss an episode. Congratulations to the entire cast and to Julian Fellowes.
Posted at 3:05 on Feb 11, 2012
OMG! What a terrific display of talent on the part of hairdressers, makeup and costume artists! How very very impressive!
Posted at 7:16 on Feb 11, 2012
I LOVE this show!
Posted at 9:19 on Feb 11, 2012
I would never recognize Thomas out in public, I'm sure!
Posted at 11:29 on Feb 12, 2012
What a talented group! Love the dog pictures. Maggie Smith is wonderful, as usual.
Posted at 12:29 on Feb 12, 2012
For all you Downton Abbey groupies!
Posted at 3:31 on Feb 12, 2012
Wonderful photos! Of course they look so different, especially Miss O'Brien, Siobhan Finneran. Thanks.
Posted at 4:35 on Feb 12, 2012
Goes to show what a lie make-up is. Would hate to take Amy Nuttall to bed only to wake up with Ethel, which is what Amy REALLY looks like, after all.
Posted at 8:44 on Feb 12, 2012
Bates with a baby! Thomas with a beard! O'Brien! Mrs. Hughes!
Posted at 10:41 on Feb 13, 2012
Ethel, why am i not surprised?
And, can we talk about how much botox/plastic surgery Elizabeth Mcgovern (Cora) has had?!
Posted at 3:01 on Feb 13, 2012
They all look so different!! But, of course, the most different from her character and real life is O'Brien. LOL -- Love O'Brien!
Posted at 5:08 on Feb 13, 2012
And what about the horses?
Posted at 6:15 on Feb 13, 2012
WOW! What a great group of actors!
Posted at 6:47 on Feb 13, 2012
Stylist tip: to minimize chin like a steamer prow, open up a button or two..toussle hair artfully. It sorta, somewhat worked for the poor schmoe playing William
Posted at 12:28 on Feb 14, 2012
Who would have known - or even recognized some of these actors out of costume! As much as I love this show, I do hope it has an end. I'm hoping that the producers/writers/directors don't ruin it by contriving episodes just for the $$. How awful that would be.
Posted at 1:16 on Feb 14, 2012
The truly stunning thing about this photo-set is-not how much better
they look off-screen in casual attire, but how many of them look so much better in their period costume...on screen!
Not all, mind you, but a surprising number of them.
Posted at 2:01 on Feb 14, 2012
This is GREAT - Many thanks....I will send it on to all my Downton Abbey addicts......we are hooked!
What on earth will we do until Season 3 begins- and when will that be?
Posted at 3:32 on Feb 14, 2012
I love seeing these marvelous people in real live. I want the series to go on and on. Thank you
Posted at 8:56 on Feb 14, 2012
This is great!!!
Love all the cast!!! On and off the screen !!!
Xxoo!
Posted at 9:57 on Feb 14, 2012
More Dontown Abbey fun!
Posted at 10:13 on Feb 15, 2012
Great actors, great story, great make-up and costuming......all adds up to a great show. Great TV time.....I'll miss it. Will purchase dvd of series.
Posted at 10:55 on Feb 15, 2012
Beautiful show, love everything about it. Can hardly wait for the next chapter. They are all doing such a fantastic job. We always discuss and predict and in general enjoy every episode. Thanks!
Posted at 10:19 on Feb 17, 2012
Fabulous, fabulous!!! I love everything about this series. Thank you so much for the chance to see the real people who bring these marvelous characters to life. Superb acting; everything!!

HOW COME THE DOG GOT MORE PICTURES THAN ANYONE?
Posted at 6:58 on Feb 19, 2012
Very fun.
Posted at 8:04 on Feb 19, 2012
I love this compilation and I just linked to it on my blog! Can't wait for more Downton!
Posted at 1:17 on Feb 20, 2012
Oh, I love Downton Abbey!
Posted at 3:19 on Feb 20, 2012
This show is completely addictive. I love it! Excellent cast!
Posted at 3:54 on Feb 20, 2012
This is MY MOST favorite show of all time! I absolutely adore all of the characters and cannot wait for the 3rd season!!!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!!
Posted at 4:11 on Feb 20, 2012
The biggest surprise was "Thomas". Even though "McBride" is prettier she is still scowling!

Posted at 7:42 on Feb 20, 2012
I am so sad that Season Two is over!!! Hurry back Downton Abbey.

Who IS the dog's makeup person?! Fantastic!
Seriously, makeup and lights would probably make ALL of us look better or worse, but these photos are humorously amazing and attest to artistic ability to "get the look" that so helps DA be the incredible cast of 33 characters it is. Thanks for this fascinating look!
Posted at 12:49 on Feb 21, 2012
My biggest surprise is Mrs. Patmore. Some really look better in their period hair-dos andmake-up.
Posted at 3:41 on Feb 21, 2012
This is fun....look at Mrs. O"brien. Love this show.
Posted at 4:35 on Feb 21, 2012
Pretty amazing! Thank you for publicizing.
Posted at 5:37 on Feb 21, 2012
fashions certainly make a difference!
Posted at 6:34 on Feb 21, 2012
This is great to see. Love the show!
Posted at 2:32 on Mar 03, 2012
The best by far miniseries ever, could watch it over and over again and hope it goes on to present day 2012. The photos are amazing so convincing in their roles.
Posted at 1:39 on Mar 05, 2012
Pharaoh is my favorite.
Posted at 3:51 on Mar 07, 2012
Some of them look better in 1918's garb - especially the Earl, Granny
and Carson. Wow - no wonder there's chemistry between Mr.Bates and Anna.
I don't know what to do with my Sunday nights!
Posted at 1:10 on Mar 08, 2012
Loved seeing these pictures! I can never pick which character or actor I like the best. Keep up the good work Downton Abby.
Posted at 11:07 on Mar 21, 2012
I am in the middle of Season 2 and can't wait for more Downton Abbey. The characterizations are superb!!! Thanks for the pix.
Brendon Coyle and Dan Stevens are my favs.
Posted at 2:04 on May 28, 2012
Love this series and cannot wait for #3 to arrive!
Posted at 12:18 on Jun 23, 2012
i am sick. how terrible for me to have the bubble burst by seeing the "real" faces of the Downton cast. I feel as if I peaked around the curtain. some things should be left alone. i wish Downton was a real place.
