Hugh Bonneville is one of those true creative types who is able to seamlessly move between theater, television and film. In addition to his beloved acting roles in projects such as Notting Hill, the Paddington movies and of course, the wildly popular Downton Abbey, Bonneville is also a respected producer, director and radio star.

He’s played everything from psychopaths to poets and his versatility has led him to an exciting new role — performing alongside the iconic Mormon Tabernacle Choir for its annual Christmas special.

Bonneville explains why he thrives on taking risks in his career and how grateful he is to even have such a successful career, especially since he got his start cleaning toilets.
