I don’t think Michelle Dockery is even planning to leave DA.She the type of person who is so profesional and gracious in every aspect.She loves DA because she is the blood of DA and she has a very repoire’ with JF.She will continue to be playing Lady Mary and will make time even she is casted in other project or big screen movies.I think that she will make use of the mentality if there is a will there is a way mentality to accomodate her schedule.In the mean time lets pray that Sandra Chang,her new talent manager will convince movie producers in hollywood that she will be casted in a good movie that she will be the leading female actor so we can have our Michelle fix before the 4th season of DA or lets all write a petition to Jullianne Fellows to write a story about a famous lady and convince Garreth Neame to produce. Just love Michelle Dockery and I would like to thank her Mother who she said to be her women of the year for doing such a good job of supporting her through all the years and making her a well grounded person with such a pleasant personality. Michelle Dockery is on of a kind.

Hey Uzi Iam glad we are on tha same wavelength as far as DA is concerned and Iam very protective of our darling Michelle Dockery,quoting Julliane Fellowes she is one of a kind.May be you and I can petition Julliane Fellows to write a Book about a famous lady and make a movie of it and casting Michelle Dockery as the leading female actor.

I agree 100% with Uzi,Michelle is so professional and so gracious not leaving DA and continue on to the 4th season and also she mentioned on one of her interviews that she loves to play the character of Lady Mary and always protective of the character that she is given to play.But Iam please that she is exploring other avenues in her career.She is so talented that it would be a pity not to use to the fullest. Iam so excited for her to be in a musical,hopefully they will make some kind of My Fair Lady version.She is the 21th century Audrey Hepburn.Hopefully her new Hollywood manager,Sandra Chang will get her to star in a movie as the leading female actor soon.Hopefully soon,can’t wait for NON-Stop to be in the movie theatres at least that will give us a Michelle fix while waiting for the next season of DA.

I personally don’t really like Lady Mary all that much. Lady Mary is obsessed with class and wealth–she even turned down Matthew at first because she thought Cora might have a boy when she got pregnant in the first season (meaning Matthew wouldn’t inherit Downton and Mary wouldn’t either if they got married). Her only redeeming quality was the fact that Matthew was somehow able to get past her cold and mean exterior–something I never quite understood but the fact that the boy was able to find anything positive about Mary made him endearing to me.

That being said I do think Michelle Dockery is a decent actress–I would like to see her in other roles. I find Lady Mary’s role to be rather limiting–everybody on Downton is overshadowed by Dame Maggie Smith! And Carson. Love Carson!

I haven’t seen much of a range so far in her acting, but her face does look marvellous onscreen. I was sorry her character didn’t get more play in Anna Karenina… in the novel she’s a roustabout shocking lady who says what she thinks.

I think she should see a physiotherapist about her shoulders, though. She hunches them up so much (even without the shoulder pads!) I feel like she’s crunching some vertebrae or something.

For her on good, she should stay, because she’s not that great of an actor. She’s really dull. For my own good, it would be good if she left. I don’t like her at all.

I think Jessica Brown-Findlay made the bigger risk by leaving the show early. Sybil wasn’t as major a character as Matthew is yet Dan Stevens got more flak for doing the same.

Although for Jessica she has her young age on her side. She also has 3 projects on-going projects now, so I guess it’s working out for her.

I agree and I wish that Michelle could get noticed in Hollywood just because of her brilliant acting skills, but I wonder if it works like that nowadays? Maybe it was easier during the time Maggie Smith got famous. So I wonder if Michelle really has any choice than to also build a star-image…

The Daily Fail loves to do these stories…because then they can do stories on how the actor “failed to break into America”. I remember them doing stories on the “failure” of Billie Piper and the actress who played the new Bionic Woman. It’s all very high school.

There are no guarantees, and it’s risky to leave a show early (oh hey Dan Stevens!). I know both John Simms and Fassbender ( who reached very different levels) have said the best scenario is when Hollywood comes to you. If they want you, they know where you are. Good examples? The Sherlock boys. Hell by the time Cumberbatch arrived in LA he was in two Oscar nominated movies and had Spielberg as a reference! That’s the exception though, most of these “big” stars in Britain will start at a much lower tier in Hollywood.
