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.

Anyone else think there’s something so insanely attractive about Tom?

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.
