Duncan Grant
Played by James Norton (1900s-1920s) and Rupert Penry-Jones (1930s-1940s).
Duncan is a sprite of a man. Charming, beautiful and entirely without malice, he lives in the moment with ageless vitality. He lives to paint and love, both of which he does with complete abandon, and in turn fails to recognise the emotional damage he has caused the countless men and women who have fallen unattainably in love with him.
