Yes, that's Sal, introduced as Bryan Batt. Apparently he's one of New Orleans' favorite sons. He did a really nice job singing.

“Downton Abbey” has become event television. The proof is in the ratings for the show’s fourth-season premiere on Sunday, which not only set a record for the series, with 10.2 million viewers, but also further confirmed “Downton” as a major player in what has become a golden age for drama on television. The audience for the “Downton Abbey” premiere on PBS was almost exactly the same size as that for the series finale of “Breaking Bad” on AMC, this season’s most-talked-about episode of television drama. That finale averaged 10.3 million viewers. (In both cases, the figures are for only the audiences who watched the episodes the nights they were on; the numbers grow significantly when delayed viewing is counted.) The “Downton” audience was also virtually the same as that for this season’s premiere of “Scandal,” the hot drama on ABC (10.5 million). “Downton” easily topped a host of television’s most celebrated cable dramas in terms of viewership. “Mad Men” on AMC had 3.4 million viewers for its most recent premiere. “Game of Thrones” on HBO had 4.4 million for its initial airing. The recent season finale of “Homeland” on Showtime had 2.4 million viewers. nytimes.com
