That concludes the "Where have I've seen them before" posts!
God Bless,
*groan* I KNEW Mr. Darcy was in IBE, but forgot. :P And the same for Michael Gambon. Greg Wise married Elinor? LOL! That's hilarious! Wow. :) Er, excuse all the mixed-up names. Have fun figuring out what I meant! :P ;)
ReplyDeleteI love these actors so much, especially Brendan Coyle, Colin Firth, Hugh Bonneville, Matthew Macfayden and Michael Gambon! Thomas Hardy always makes me laugh, he's so talented and can be quite hilarious! I hope to see these gentlemen in many more period films!
ReplyDeleteCharity,
ReplyDeleteI was watching S&S with my sister the other night and said "did you know that Greg Wise married Emma Thompson?" and she said "What? Not Marianne?!" haha ;-) (Well those aren't exact quotes, but you get the idea.)
Wow! They played in a lot of movies! :)
ReplyDeleteGreg Wise married to Emma Thompson? I almost can't believe it. She's so much older than him!
ReplyDeleteLol, Melody!
ReplyDeleteAnd Miss Elizabeth, it's MacFadyen not MacFayden. I just figured that out the other day!
'Where have I seen them before' is such a fun game to play with period drama actors (or British actors in general really). I didn't know Iain Glen was married to Susannah Harker. That's kind of funny, because his character Adam Bede ended up marrying Susannah's character Dinah!
