Milne spoke to Digital Spy on Oct. 5 about how privileged he felt working with the "Downton Abbey" cast.
"I think it says a lot about the rest of the cast, they've built up a real family over the last two years, but they've really accepted me and the other new cast members into their working group. It says a lot about them about them about how accepting they have been and I'm really grateful for that."
The talented actor also praised the cast for both their professionalism and hard work.
"There's no jumped-up people whatsoever. It's great to learn from that because you see that's how the big boys like Hugh Bonneville and Dame Maggie Smith do it and I've learned from that."
"Downton Abbey" aside, Milne is currently starring in "The Hotel Plays" by Tennessee Williams. It will be showing until Oct 27 at the Grange Holborn Hotel in London. The reputable production revolves around three different plays that take place in three separate hotel suites.
