Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the work of Dan Stevens into the ol’ VCR.
On October 10, 1982, Daniel Jonathan Stevens was born, but you probably know him as Dan Stevens.
Dan Stevens was raised by his adoptive parents in Southeast England and Wales before receiving a scholarship to attend the Tonbridge School in Kent.
I’m sure you can guess where this is going, but much like all of the other subjects of our spotlights, he began participating in the drama program at his school after auditioning for the lead in Macbeth. After discovering this newfound interest, he began spending his summers with the National Youth Theatre performing in London.
He would go on to attend the University of Cambridge, where he not only joined the Marlowe Society, the university’s drama club, but also Footlights, the university’s sketch comedy group.
Dan Stevens began acting professionally in a touring production of As You Like It and received critical acclaim throughout his run.
He would then go on to star in the BBC’s adaptation of The Line of Beauty, which began the expansion of his career.
From there, Dan Stevens would continue performing on both stage and screen, with his first big break coming in 2010 when he was cast in Downton Abbey.
Over the years, Dan Stevens has starred in many hit films and television shows, as well as stage and Broadway performances.
He’s also been nominated for multiple Audie Awards for his work with audiobooks, which I didn’t know, and I think is really rad.
Outside of saying that he’s the star of one of my favorite movies of all time and that I think he’s one of the hottest men alive, there’s not much I can say about Dan Stevens that hasn’t already been said.
Dan, if you ever read this, thank you. 🖤
Without further ado, here’s some of my favorite Dan Stevens content:
