Daniel Mays ON A Footman Between Two Mr. Darcy's

Edith and Michelle manage to find just about the only window in the diary of what might be Britain’s busiest actor, as they catch up with Lynley star Daniel Mays for a hilarious episode of On The Box. From A Thousand Blows to Against The Law, Daniel shares all the behind-the-scenes details of his most loved performances, from depicting the class struggle in the relationship between DCI Nies and Inspector Lynley on Lynley, to how Michael Douglas convinced him to play Nathan Detroit in Guys and Dolls, to being the footman between two competing Darcy’s on the set of upcoming Apple TV series Berlin Noir.
