- Colin Firth - Mr Darcy. Colin has come a long way since rocking up to his Pemberley home in a wet shirt which turned him into the nation's heartthrob. Since then, he has gone on to win an Oscar for his role in The King's Speech, and was also nominated for his role in A Single Man.

Following his turn on Pride & Prejudice (as smouldering cad Mr Darcy), a role that turned him into a household name, Firth found it hard to get away from his typecasting as a brooding heartthrob – particularly in films such as Bridget Jones's Diary, which went as far as naming him Mark Darcy after his P&P character.
- Susannah Harker – Jane. Harker played Jane Bennet, the eldest daughter of Mr and Mrs Bennet of Longbourn in Hertfordshire. She followed the show with a couple of movies – Surviving Picasso, playing Marie-Thérèse Walter (a key figure in Picasso's life) and the critically-acclaimed Intimacy, appearing with a young Mark Rylance.
- Julia Sawalha – Lydia. Julia Sawalha was already fairly well known in the UK when she was cast as Lydia, thanks to turns in teen drama Press Gang and the hugely popular sitcom Absolutely Fabulous.
