Sweet Arthur, no!

Watching Matthew Macfadyen as caddish Sir Felix in The Way We Live Now is giving me one of the severest cases of cognitive dissonance I've ever had in my life. I shall be forced to rewatch Little Dorrit after this, to cleanse my mental palate.

(Incidentally, Trollope had some pretty interesting titles, no? The Way We Live Now, He Knew He was Right . . . Apparently the man wanted to leave no doubt whatsoever as to what his books were about!)

It's funny, I honestly hadn't seen Matt MacF in many really nice roles when I saw Dorrit - I was used to him as a cad, or kind of a stiff. Arthur's the one who took me by surprise!

He has done quite a few caddish roles from what I hear, but as far as I can recall, I've only ever seen him in LD, "Pride and Prejudice," a "Miss Marple" episode, and "Robin Hood." He WAS a cad in the last, but it was such a teeny tiny role (poor guy) that it didn't make much of an impression!
