Art of Cinema on Instagram: "Matthew Macfadyen felt "miscast" or not attractive enough to play Mr. Darcy and was surprised to land such an iconic romantic lead. He also never read Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice before filming, relying only on the script for his portrayal. In Succession, Macfadyen took on his first major American role as Tom Wambsgans, which required an American accent—something he found both challenging and energizing compared to his usual English parts."
