The British star won the best actor gong at this year’s Oscars ceremony for his portrayal of King George V1 in The King’s Speech. Despite his lead role in the movie, Colin is also happy to take a back seat when it comes to film parts.
Colin appeared in a supporting role alongside Gary Oldman in the critically acclaimed Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.
“Don’t get me wrong, I spent a lot of years working up to playing leads, but I still can’t resist a really meaty role,” he told the Chicago Sun-Times. “If I can really sink my teeth in then it could be the guy with all the lines or the one you remember from those ten minutes on screen.”
Colin is famed for his role as Mark Darcy in the popular Bridget Jones film franchise. The 51-year-old stars alongside Renée Zellweger and Hugh Grant in the comedy drama series.
Colin is appearing in the upcoming third installment and can’t wait for the story to unfold.
“I love the characters that Renée, Hugh and I play in those movies,” he revealed.
“I’m always interested to see where the writers will take us.”
The Bridget Jones film series is based on Helen Fielding’s novels of the same name. Bridget Jones’s Diary and Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason document the often humorous but endearing relationship between Bridget, played by Renée, and Mark, played by Colin. Their relationship is interrupted by Bridget’s ex, Daniel Cleaver – portrayed by Hugh.
