 HILARY FOX (Associated Press), LOUISE DIXON (Associated Press)LONDON - (AP) --

"Downton Abbey" star Dan Stevens has been spending twice as much time in the past. Along with shooting the third season of the 1920s-set Golden-Globe-winning TV show, he's been filming and executive producing another period project in London, playing one side of an Edwardian love triangle in the movie, "Summer in February."

The tight schedule means Stevens is the earnest Matthew Crawley amid the upper crust of Downtown Abbey one day -- then a 1913 land agent who finds himself in a community of unconventional artists the next. "It's been a bit of a headache, but fortunately they're not too far apart in terms of period, which is one good thing," Stevens told The Associated Press on the set of his new film in Twickenham, outside London.
