Matthew Macfadyen previously starred opposite Keira Knightley for director Joe Wright in the celebrated Pride & Prejudice, for which he received a London Critics’ Circle Film Award nomination.

His early films included Ben Elton’s Maybe Baby, with Hugh Laurie and Joely Richardson; Michael Apted’s Enigma; Paul McGuigan’s The Reckoning; and Brad McGann’s In My Father’s Den. The latter attracted attention from the worldwide film industry, earning Mr. Macfadyen the New Zealand Screen Award and a British Independent Film Award (BIFA) nomination for Best Actor.

Among his subsequent features have been Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood, as the Sheriff of Nottingham; Paul W.S. Anderson’s The Three Musketeers, as Athos; Frank Oz’s Death at a Funeral; Sharon Maguire’s Incendiary; and Ron Howard’s Frost/Nixon, for which he shared a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination with his fellow actors from the ensemble.

Mr. Macfadyen was a drama scholar before being accepted to the famed Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA).
