'Downton Abbey' series 4 cast shot
He told the Radio Times : "I am playing a character who is going to stir things up, so it should be interesting."
The actor drew comparisons between Mr Green and his EastEnders character Dennis Rickman.
Asked if Downton fans can expect to see elements of his former character, he said: "Oh, I don't know really. I think he's a bit better spoken than Dennis because he's a valet, and you have to be a little bit more together.
"But this man is incredibly charming, to the point where he's too good to be true - and that's what it turns out.
"I think Dennis maybe had redeeming qualities, even though he was violent and a murderer, whereas I think this guy doesn't have redeeming qualities."
