Who hasn't been on this show?

I've been watching "MI-5" lately ("Spooks" in the UK). It airs several times during the week on PBS, following a few different seasons, but one in particular became my favorite (well, two now, but I'll get to that later).

There's this character, Tom, who I thought was kind of cute, but I mean, his story was so interesting and I watched until they booted him (the same episode with IAN MCDIARMID AKA EMPEROR PALPATINE, the season with Gemma Jones or, Bridget's mom in "Bridget Jones's Diary"; Madame Pomfrey, etc...) and thought, "Awww.. poor Tom!" I liked Tom. He looked a little dreamy, and I kept thinking I'd seen him somewhere before, but thought I was imagining things.

Then suddenly it hit me. I go to IMDB, look up something and.. TA-DA!

Matthew Macfayden (i.e. Tom) was Mr. Darcy in the 2005 adaption of "Pride & Prejudice"! Hahahaha!!

Also: he's the new Sheriff of Nottingham in this year's "Robin Hood" movie. :D

Seeing as how I haven't seen "Little Dorrit" yet, I can't comment on his role there.

In case you were wondering: my other favorite is now from a newer season (2008-09--post "Robin Hood" and "North & South"): Richard Armitage. Tee-hee!
