"Downton Abbey star Rob James-Collier has revealed that he is keen to land a role on US television. The English actor told The Hollywood Reporter that he wants to emulate the Hollywood success of Homeland star Damian Lewis.  &amp;quot;I know Damian Lewis just won an Emmy... so I&amp;#039;m working hard on my own American accent,&amp;quot; James-Collier revealed. &amp;quot;I think I&amp;#039;ll nail it very soon.&amp;quot; He added: &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s definitely a wave of Brits doing great work on American television, and I wouldn&amp;#039;t mind being one of them! I signed with Billy Lazarus at UTA [United Talent Agency] and hope to be auditioning here when we&amp;#039;re not shooting.&amp;quot; Downton star Jessica Brown Findlay recently departed the hit period drama and has since been linked to a leading role in action movie sequel Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
