I absolutely adore him as Prior Philip. His Welsh accent is adorable! 😀
Great article, Sharon x

Matthew will always be my Mr. Darcy though I watched both the 1995 version and the 2005 movie. That is because I see him as Darcy as MM portrayed him, not so much arrogant, as socially inept. While I like Colin Firth and think him very handsome, he was so arrogant playing Darcy that I never warmed to him. Oh well, to each his own. Thank you for sharing this article!

Sharon, Matthew was great in P & P, but have you seen the 6 BBC episodes of P & P from 1995 with Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy? I’ve seen every P & P film, including the one with Sir Lawrence Olivier, and I think Colin Firth gives the best performance–most closely aligned to Austen’s depiction of Mr. Darcy. Firth was only 34 at the time and “eye candy” for me. After seeing that, I checked out everything else he was in! I think the Darcy role lifted him to international star status.
