Sussex twins to make Downton debut tonight

10:30am Sunday 7th October 2012 in News

These cheeky toddlers will be gracing TV screens across the land tonight – as they make an appearance in hit show Downton Abbey.

Three-year-old Frank and brother Mariusz, from Worthing, will be seen playing the role of Charlie Parks on the ITV1 period drama.

Accompanying them on the box will be on-screen mum Amy Nuttall, who plays character Ethel Parks.

Frank and his identical twin have been enjoying film and TV work since they were 14 months old. They have also played the role of Rodney Trotter in the Only Fools and Horses prequel Rock and Chips, as well as having spent time filming with Alan Rickman in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

Guy Lewis, the father of the twins, said: “We heard they use identical twins a lot in TV and film work, so we sent off some pictures to casting agents online.

“The Downton Abbey job was really fun and all of the cast and crew really looked after us.”
