So which author does he most admire? Anthony Trollope, at least among the 19th century’s array of superstar novelists that includes Jane Austen and Charles Dickens. Fellowes has fulilled his goal of adapting Trollope for the screen with “Doctor Thorne,” a four-part series that debuted May 20 on Amazon. The Weinstein Co. production stars the versatile and remarkable Tom Hol- lander in the title role, with Stefanie Martini as Mary, the physician’s niece. She lands in the cross- hairs of Lady Arabella (Rebecca Front), who’s de- termined to quash her son’s love for the commoner and steer him toward an Amer- ican heiress (Alison Brie, “Mad Men”). “Doctor Thorne” marks Fellowes’ irst TV series to air since — a moment of silence, please — the end of “Downton Abbey.” He’s also written an online serialized novel, “Belgravia,” about class conlict in 1800s En- gland, and is starting work on an as-yet unscheduled NBC series set in 1800s America, “The Gilded Age.” In an interview with The Associated Press, Fellowes discusses how he sees the past, what he’s working on for the future and, succinct- ly, competing at the June 12 Tony Awards with Broadway sensation “Hamilton” in the category of best book for a musical. The Associated Press: Why is Trollope a favorite of yours? PHOTO BY RICH FURY/INVISION/AP, FILE Julian Fellowes’ “Doctor Thorne,” a four-part series on Amazon, debuted May 20 with Tom Hollander in the ti- tle role. Fellowes: There is something about Trollope’s voice that I have always found very appealing. He has a kind of mercy, a sort of non-judgmental qual- ity which actually I ind very modern. None of his characters are all bad or all good, they’re somewhere in the middle. And even his heroines make mistakes, which in Dickens you never get. Trollope’s women are real, and I ind that very beguiling. AP: How is “Gilded Age” coming along? Fellowes: I’m trying to clear my decks of every- thing else, because when I start ‘Gilded Age’ I don’t want to be writing it with three other things going on at the same time. At the moment, I’m up to my neck in research. It is extraordi- nary, the whole business of 1880s New York, this amaz- ing city rising up, this city of the rich, as they build their great (homes) up Fifth Avenue. ... This life that es- tablished itself in the 1870s, ‘80s, ‘90s, it was like nothing the world had seen. ... These huge fortunes in the days before income tax, sudden- ly springing up everywhere. AP: You’ve done several popular projects set in earlier periods. What is the appeal for you and the audience? Fellowes: I also enjoy doing contemporary stuf, I enjoyed ‘School of Rock.’ But there is something about letting people understand that people in the past were just men and women with ambitions and emotions that are much the same as our own. Obvi- ously, in a diferent social context or slightly difer- ent political system, but nevertheless the impulses that made them get up in the morning, made them cry or laugh, were much the same as with us. When I was young, there was a tendency to teach history as if these people were sort of alien and they didn’t have the same impulses as us, which I think is very misleading. AP: Is a “Downtown Abbey” movie, which has been discussed, still possible? Fellowes: I think it would be a good idea and I think it would be fun for the audience. As far as I’m concerned, I’m in. But I’m not the one who makes the decision. We have a pretty good idea of what we’d make the ilm about. AP: You started out acting before becoming a sought-after writer. How would you rate yourself on-screen? Fellowes: Someone once asked me, ‘Would you rather have won an Oscar as an actor?’ My reply: No one ofered me one as an actor. In the end, your life is partly what you make of it. It’s also partly what you make of what it is. ... If you keep saying, ‘I don’t want to be a dancer, I want to be a singer,’ then you bat away your own good luck. AP: Have you won- dered why you had to vie for a Tony in the year of “Hamilton”? Fellowes: The truth of the matter is I have a Tony nomination, which I never thought I’d have. Suicient unto the day.
