Colin Firth - Bafta winner but will he get the Oscar?

Do you think Mr Darcy sorry Colin Firth might have finally overcome typecasting?
He's been in a few films since that adaptation.
If you haven't seen "The King's Speech" I can recommend it. Colin Firth characterisation is perfect. Although you wonder how much "artistic license" they've used.

Can't quite imagine the Queen Mum sitting on his chest "in public" like that!

The film's already wowed the Bafta's and all eyes are on the forthcoming Oscars.

So Hollywood! Is this finally going to be Colin's year?
Personally, I hope so...

So finally, after some technical problems, my latest caricature of Colin. 

So, Colin Firth is sick of the Mr Darcy association! Sorry Colin but how else should I caricature you?

Apparently Colin Firth is sick of being associated with Mr Darcy as I found out when I was looking up Mr Darcy’s costume for this caricature. Oooops, sorry Colin! If it’s any consolation, I never thought you were physically the right type for the part, I always preferred David Rintoul visually. That’s not to say Colin didn’t act well, he just looks wrong and was far too informal for Mr Darcy. OK, I admit Pride and Prejudice is one of my favourite books and I hate people messing with my favourite characters. I have  mental image of how the characters should look and Colin is not Mr Darcy. It’s as simple as that.

OK, deep breath… rant over.

I had to perpetuate the Mr Darcy persona, again, soory Mr Firth but cartoon are all about the stereotypes. And you doooo have an association with this name. Bridget Jones ringing any bells yet? His mouth went a bit awry, but the likeness is pretty good, regardless. I think he might have been riding a Shire horse though – perhaps the hoof should have been smaller?

So, does Colin Firth=Mr Darcy? No, absolutely not! But he makes an acceptable caricature as Mr Darcy.
