It's kind of amazing to see what celebrities do for their favorite charity. In the case of Downton Abbey's Rob James-Collier (the ambitious Thomas Barrow) it was almost child's play.

Originally the actor set out to raise £10,000 to help the Chilterns MS Centre. In order to do that, he released a Star Wars parody video entitled Downton Wars: Episode 1 – The Phantom Valet in which his James-Collier's Evil Butler faces off with the "Phantom Valet" John Bates (Brendan Coyle).

The thing is though, it easily reached the goal and became so popular, James-Collier produced a sequel, Downton Wars: Episode 2 – The Evil Butler Strikes Back.

Check out the actor explain the charity as well as the origins of the original parody below:

You can view the sequel, as well as donate to the charity at James-Collier's EvilButler website.
