Biografi

Firth tillhörde i slutet av 1980-talet "Brit Pack", en grupp unga lovande brittiska skådespelare, men det var inte förrän han 1995 gestaltade Mr. Darcy i BBC:s dramatisering av Jane Austens roman Stolthet och fördom som han fick mer utbredd uppmärksamhet. Detta ledde till roller i filmer som Den engelske patienten (1996), Shakespeare in Love (1998), Bridget Jones dagbok (2001), för vilken han nominerades till en BAFTA Award och Love Actually (2003). 2009 hyllades Colin Firth för sin roll i En enda man, för vilken han mottog sin första Oscarsnominering och även vann ett BAFTA Award. Firth porträtterade 2014 den hemliga agenten Harry Hart i filmen Kingsman: The Secret Service, en roll han repriserade i uppföljaren Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017).

Sedan genombrottet med Stolthet och fördom 1995 är en av hans mest kända roller den som Mark Darcy i filmatiseringen av Bridget Jones dagbok, På spaning med Bridget Jones och Bridget Jones' Baby han spelar mot Renée Zellweger.^[1]

Firth belönades 2011 med en Oscar för sin roll som kung Georg VI av Storbritannien i filmen The King's Speech.
