* Sam in ''Supernova'' (2021)

After a youthful career of small roles, fame finally arrived following his performance as Mr. Darcy in the acclaimed [[Series/PrideAndPrejudice1995 1995 BBC miniseries]] based on Creator/JaneAusten's ''Literature/PrideAndPrejudice'', which made women swoon all over the world. Some notable supporting roles in films were to follow, including ''Film/TheEnglishPatient'' and ''Film/ShakespeareInLove'', both of which featured the rare event of his character losing in a love triangle (to one of the [[Creator/RalphFiennes Fiennes]] [[Creator/JosephFiennes brothers]], in each case; perhaps they're his kryptonite). Real film stardom came with 2001's ''[[Literature/BridgetJones 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 UsefulNotes/AcademyAward nomination for ''Literature/ASingleMan'' and widespread acclaim for his work as King George VI in ''Film/TheKingsSpeech'' which earned him the UsefulNotes/AcademyAward for Best Actor, as well as just about every other major acting award.

* CreatorBacklash: He’s apologized for working with Creator/WoodyAllen in the past and says he’d never work with him again after allegations from his daughter about sexual abuse resurfaced in 2018. He says he sees a conversation he had with Creator/EmmaStone on the set of ''Magic in the Moonlight'' about how weird it was he was playing her LoveInterest when he’s the same age as her dad in a very different light now.

->"Colin Firth is not laughing. [[StiffUpperLip He's British]]."

* FakeAmerican: To varying degrees of success. He's managed a fairly affective midwestern accent in ''A Thousand Acres'' (1997), ''Arthur Newman'' (2012), ''Genius'' (2016), and the HBO Max series ''The Staircase'' (2022), where he plays Michael Peterson. He sports a somewhat shakier southern dialect in ''Main Street'' (2010), and ''Devil's Knot'' (2013).

Colin Andrew Firth [[UsefulNotes/KnightFever CBE]] (born 10 September 1960 in Grayshott, England) is a handsome British actor known for his ability in both comedy and drama (and for being very [[RuleOfThree handsome]]).
