Funnily enough, both Firth and Macfadyen have portrayed Jane Austen's esteemed heartthrob character Mr.

He knows a thing or two about playing military officers and espionage experts, thanks to roles in movies like "The Railway Man," "1917," "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy," and the "Kingsman" franchise.
