Daniel - Matthew Macfadyen

Matthew Macfadyen’s feature film credits include Ben Elton’s Maybe Baby, Enigma for director Michael Apted, The Reckoning, In My Father’s Den and a breakout role in Joe Wright’s award-winning Pride and Prejudice, for which Macfadyen was acclaimed for his portrayal of Mr. Darrcy opposite Kiera Knightley. He will next be seen in Incendiary with Ewan McGregor.

Born in Norfolk in 1974, Macfadyen attended schools in England, Scotland and Indonesia before being educated at a boarding school in Leicestershire, England. At the age of 17 he won a place at RADA (the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts) in London.

His first professional engagement was in The Duchess of Malfi for the touring theatre company Cheek by Jowl, where he appeared in London’s West End, New York, Bogota and Moscow. He followed this with two world tours playing Demetrius in Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream for the Royal Shakespeare Company and Benedick in Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing for Cheek By Jowl. He then returned to the RSC to appear in School for Scandal.

The success of Macfadyen’s stage work led to him being cast in Peter Kosminsky’s multi award-winning film for TV, Warriors. The film received a BAFTA Best Drama, an RTS Award and the Prix Italia and Macfadyen himself received an RTS nomination in the Best Actor category.

Other notable TV dramas include, Perfect Strangers (Almost Strangers in the United States) for celebrated writer/director Stephen Poliakoff; the BAFTA award-winning serial The Way We Live Now, The Project for Peter Kosminsky and the BAFTA award-winning spy drama Spooks, which airs in the US on A&E under the title MI5.

MATHEW MACFADYEN - DANIEL

All the responsibilities land on Daniel, like handling the funeral while wife Jane pressures him about moving out of his parents’ home. “If you could just call about that flat.” Except he’s already spent their rent money on the funeral. To make things worse, his brother, famous author Robert, isn’t able to cover his half. Something about the horrific cost of First Class tickets. Oh, right, then there’s the issue of blackmail. Seems like dear dead dad had some rather dark secrets. Through it all, Daniel does his best. Turns out the only thing stronger than keeping his father’s name intact is his desire to be a famous writer as well, even though no one – not even the blackmailer – seems to think he has it in him. Certainly not after that awful eulogy. 

According to this website , Death at a funeral will open on limited release on June 29 th in the US and general release will by on July 4th.
