Paul Giamatti has joined the cast of “Downton Abbey” for the show’s upcoming fourth season.

TVLine reports that Giamatti will appear on “Downton Abbey” as Harold Levinson, Cora’s (Elizabeth McGovern) brother in the Season 4 finale, alongside Shirley MacLaine who returns as Cora’s mother Martha. The character is described as a playboy and maverick.

A rep for Masterpiece confirmed TVLine’s report to The Huffington Post. “We’re excited that Paul Giamatti will be joining us on ‘Downton’ to play Cora’s brother Harold, the rather free-spirited uncle to Mary and Edith,” Gareth Neame, managing director of Carnival Films, said in a statement. “We can’t wait to see him work alongside Shirley MacLaine, who are both sure to upset the Grantham’s apple cart in this year’s finale.”
