Matthew Macfadyen Season 4 MVP
Mark mylod about Matthew- “ Who knew that Mr. Darcy was fucking hilarious?” says Mark Mylod, who has directed a dozen episodes of Succession, with more to come this spring. “[It’s] the most genius piece of casting that I can think of in recent history. He’s so incredibly unexpected.” More on reddit.com

Anyone else think there’s something so insanely attractive about Tom?
I love the actor’s real life voice and accent. In the show he deliberately uses a higher pitched voice when talking to Shiv to appear meek. More on reddit.com

A sign of how talented an actor Matthew Macfadyen is.
I think Tom is both sympathetic and vile and annoying. He is insufferable but I do feel for him. But yes, Matthew is one of the best actors in Succession in my opinion. I'm surprised he has such a knack for comedy honestly. More on reddit.com

Who Is the Ultimate Mr. Darcy?
2 weeks ago - Many actors have donned the master of Pemberley’s breeches in adaptations of “Pride and Prejudice” over the years, from a pompadoured Laurence Olivier (1940) to a fluffy-haired David Rintoul (1980) to the ever dapper canine Wishbone (1995) — and that’s without even mentioning the various zombie fighters, murder witnesses, media moguls and wearers of hideous reindeer sweaters that also bear his name. But when crowning the one true Fitzwilliam, it really comes down to two men: Colin Firth in the 1995 BBC mini-series, and Matthew Macfadyen in the 2005 film.
