show all This youthful-looking, thirty-something actor unfairly seems to be best known as the younger brother of British heartthrob, Colin Firth. This is indeed a pity because Jonathan Firth has developed a distinct and interesting resume of his own with performances in radio, theatre, feature films, but more prominently in very high quality television work.After graduating from the Central School of Speech and Drama, London (1989), Firth landed several television roles, most notably as the "struggling to find himself" Fred Vincy in the wonderful British mini-series "Middlemarch" (1994) (mini)". Firth later had an opportunity to showcase a fuller range of emotion and acting skill as the very complicated Sergeant Troy in a superior remake of "Far from the Madding Crowd (1998) (TV)". More recently, Mr. Firth was cast as the morally upright Prince Albert in A & E's production of "Victoria & Albert (2001) (TV)".
