Then & Now: Pride & Prejudice Actors

Posted by Le on Tuesday, June 14, 2011


Ok, I did not forget about our favorite P&P male actors. Of course not. Not when the handsome and darcylicious Matthew Macfadyen as Mr. Darcy leading the talented P&P men here. No, can't say that I would, lol.These wonderful men of the 2005 Pride & Prejudice film are as talented and incredible actors as their female co-stars, who dominated the P&P cast. Four  (including season veteran and legendary actor Donald Sutherland) of them have been working steady and continued to get recognized on their own in various stage plays, television and film projects they've done since their P&P movie.

Here are a compiled list of what our favorite P&P male actors are currently doing, which TV show or films you last seen them starred/appeared in, and what they will be doing next (via IMDB) to name a few...
