I Have been in love with this man’s voice for 20 years.

[oliviaoverboard]

I have to say his American accent on Succession is amazing. He definitely sounds like someone who is from the Midwest and then moved to the East Coast

[nurzahankhatun]

Our best Mr. Darcy. His acting in Pride and Prejudice was perfect. I wish I had a Mr. Darcy!

[crystalmbf]

Pride and prejudice with him is the best version Ever! Watched it too many times to count!

[vivianfoster]

I love him in Pride and Prejudice. I've watched that movie 20x now and that scene with Elizabeth when he proposes and she rejects him, that was a masterpiece. I never thought of him as "comedic" - Tom and Greg are hilarious and the best side kicks on the show. So glad he's getting the recognition he deserves.

‘You can’t make a tomlette without breaking a few Greggs’ is best line ever in TV history

[ninga]

Tom & Greg are the reason I watch Succession! Their chemistry & comedic relief are the best part of the show.

[elprofecambron]

I’m so happy that Matthew is getting popular and loved in the states. He deserves everything! 🥰

[Youngcasamigos]

The way he drops “Greg, ” as his accent trigger. Electric.

[susanalopes]

Finally, Matthew Macfadyen is getting the recognition he deserves for so long! He´s such a great, talented actor, and I love his voice and the beautifull expressive eyes.

[ThePeaksLady]

the way he smiles when he’s talking about Keeley is too much for me, they are just adorable together 🥹

[guilbert]

Matthew and particularly his role, is one of the reasons why Succession is worth a watch. Every episode.

[iah]

This dude is absolutely brilliant. The cast, the writing, the acting on Succession…. I’m just obsessed with all of it.

[diananunez]

Mr. Darcy!! The one and only! The VOICE, the eyes, the gentle but very powerful output and charisma....need I say more?

[piapp]

I still watch him in Pride & Prejudice. Our forever Mr Darcy. The best version ever!
So happy for him. For his success.

[chocobrownie]

Mr.Darcy "I love you, most ardently"

[janeclarkson]

I love Matthew. He IS one of our finest British actors who’s been too long waiting for more recognition. He’s gorgeous and THAT VOICE is magical! I like him in all I’ve seen him in and a huge favourite is Ripper Street (I recommend). For any American who may watch this, Adam Rothenberg plays Capt Homer Jackson, a pathologist as I recall! A fine American actor. It’s an amazing serial drama of Victorian England made 8/10 years ago. Matthew is a police officer. I’m an English woman and live in the UK! I’m almost 76 and Matthew’s voice makes my thighs go taught and sensitive! 😥👌😘🤗✌️👍⚡️⚡️⚡️BTW Keeley Hawes is a beautiful British fine actress too!

[lindabell]

He has the most beautiful blue eyes, like an angel. Don't get me started on that rich velvety, chocolate voice. I'm an 83 years old woman, but my loins quake when I watch him on Succession HBO.

[iadiramorales]

Mr. Darcy, and he was great in the Last Kingdom. Good guy ❤

[natiafox]

So handsome, well-spoken, and has a great sense of humor, love him ❤
