Brendan Coyle has actually been rather busy. After "Downton Abbey," the series, came to an end in 2015, Coyle went on to star in an episode of "12 Monkeys," as well as the films "Me Before You," "Useless," and "Bare" (via IMDb). It wasn't long until he starred in another TV drama, this time for the BBC One/Netflix series "Requiem."
A stark departure from his tendency to stray toward period dramas, "Requiem" combined the supernatural and thriller genres to create a tense series about the disappearance of a young girl in a Welsh village (via Digital Spy). Coyle played the role of Stephen Kendrick, a detective inspector who led the original investigation into the toddler's disappearance (via BBC One).
Following his role in "Requiem," Coyle appeared in "Mary Queen of Scots" as the Earl of Lennox, before reprising his role of John Bates in the first "Downton Abbey" movie. Outside of the "Downton" universe, he's got two other film projects currently in the works — "Butterfly in the Typewriter" and "The Rising: 1916" — according to IMDb.
