To ponder on whether Matthew Macfadyen

[LunchpackOfNotreDame]

Could do comedy

He's sorry serious all the time. He's a brilliant dramatic actor but I can't imagine him doing comedy. His face doesn't seem to lend itself to humour.

Completely off topic but he was a shit Mr Darcy, Colin Firth all the way.

I'll leave your thread now..

Yes he can be very funny. He played fop the Alan Davis adaption of the way we live now.

Oh I agree on the Darcy thing

It was the writing and pace of the pride and prejudice film that let the actors down. I still remember the hand thing he did when he hand Elizabeth Bennett into the carriage. That was nicely done

Andrew Davies

It would have to be very deadpan humour, naturally.

He worse some very funny disco gear in an Ashes to Ashes episode. Does that count?

I think he was a better Mr Darcy than Colin Firth. I thought he was excellent in Little Dorrit too. I so would!

I absolutely love him as Darcy (detest Colin Firth) but have never seen him in anything else.

Gorgeous in ripper street. Sorry what was the question.....

Memory fail - not actually disco

He does comedy extremely well in Ripper Street.

He was in Jeeves and Wooster in the West End last year, that was a comedy although I didn't get to see it as too bloody skint and a bit slapstick. He's also done Noel Coward.

He can do me anytime, nevermind comedy.

I saw him play Jeeves in the West End last year and he was very funny in that, in a straight man kind of way. Many different ways to be funny.

Was he gorgeous MummaGiles? Could you see his big hands and broad chest?
