Handsome Colin Firth is a handsome British actor known for his ability in both comedy and drama (and for being very [[Rule of Three|handsome]]). After a youthful career of small roles, fame finally arrived following his performance as Mr. Darcy in the acclaimed 1995 BBC miniseries based on [[Jane Austen]]'s ''[[Pride and Prejudice]]'', which made women swoon all over the world. Some notable supporting roles in films were to follow, including ''[[The English Patient]]'' and ''[[Shakespeare in Love]]'', both of which featured the rare event of his character losing in a love triangle (to one of the Fiennes brothers, in each case; perhaps they're his kryptonite). Real film stardom came with 2001's ''[[Bridget Jones|Bridget Jones's Diary]]'', where he basically reprised his role as Mr. Darcy for the 21st century. In the following decade, Firth became a fixture of both romantic comedies and some smaller, more serious films. By the end of the decade, he had decisively established himself as a serious actor, with an [[Academy Award]] nomination for ''[[A Single Man]]'' and widespread acclaim for his work as King George VI in ''[[The King's Speech]]'' which earned him the [[Academy Award]] for Best Actor, as well as just about every other major acting award.
