It’s just personal opinion! He made it to the top 10 – which means I liked him. 🙂

I don’t understand why Sam Riley in Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is the last one. I understand that this particular edition is far from the source material. If not that I must say it’s unfair. He was dashing and the perfect amount of haughty for the character of Mr. Darcy. The actions scenes were also well executed. My favourite was the first proposal scene where they fought. The tension, my Lord! The wardrobe was well done. And, last but definetly not the least, he was so…so sexy in his role.

In reply to Genevieve. Both Death Comes to Pemberley and Lost in Austen are excellent! Thanks for your your comment. :)

Very good article, thank you!

I have watched some of them (1995, 2005, 1980, 1940 and 2004), but for me, there is only one: Matthew.

He is not just the first I have seen, but he has a sweetness and shyness that fits Mr Darcy, although he can play a proud man very well also, in some scenes.

But thinking about the way I would imagined Mr Darcy, David Rintoul was very very close. I was impressed when I saw his version.

Anyway, it does not matter, because there are a lot of Mr Darcys for everybody xD

Best regards from Brazil

I just rewatched Death Comes to Pemberley. It is such a wonderfully executed extension of the story and I love the very relatable ebbs and flows / tension and release in Darcy and Elizabeth’s relationship. Rhys’ portrayal is flawless – he nails the firmness and softness of Darcy. Lost in Austen is my ultimate comfort watch Thanks for including these two stellar performances!

In reply to Alondra Labute. Me too! The world would be a different place without Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy! Haha.

I’m glad Colin Firth didn’t listen to his aunt! To me there is no other Mr Darcy. Though I enjoyed the 1980 version and “Death Comes to Pemberley” I will always think of Colin Firth as Mr Darcy.

In reply to Louise Odams. Matthew is great as Mr. Darcy! I like them both equally, but I had to rank Colin Firth as number one for how his performance affected pop culture and the Jane Austen movement!

It wasn’t until my 30’s, that i finally got to grips with Pride and Prejudice book, and my first Mr Darcy was Matthew Macfayden. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and then my one friend introduced me to the TV series, and was introduced to Collin Firth as Mr Darcy. They (Matthew and Collin) both played the part well, but for me it will always be Matthew.
