Personal Quote:

[on his role as Arthur Clennan in the BBC's Little Dorrit] Arthur would never imagine that Little Dorrit would fall for him. She falls in love with him and he doesn't see it, and that's the love story that goes through the whole piece. It's a wonderful Dickens potboiler, apart from anything else. See more »

Trivia:

Macfadyen stood on the set of MI-5 in the rain and declared his love for co-star Keeley Hawes. Hawes had very recently married her long-term boyfriend, with whom she had a young son. She responded in kind and Macfadyen and Hawes are now married and live with their three children. See more »
