Edgar or My Week With Marilyn , but their frequent co-stars did get nominations such as Michael Fassbender for Best Actor in Shame (but not in Jane Eyre or A Dangerous Method ? Hmm...), Viggo Mortensen for Best Supporting Actor in A Dangerous Method , Leonardo DiCaprio for Best Actor in J.Edgar , and Michelle Williams and Kenneth Branagh for My Week With Marilyn .

You might not remember the names of these other supporting Pride & Prejudice actors , but you probably remember their faces when you see them on-screen or keep thinking to yourself, he or she looks familiar, where have I seen him/her before? Of course, if you're really curious, you will google or check out IMDB for the cast credits to see which movie you've seen them before. I've done that a lot when I see a movie (old or new) and often found a lot of these other P&P actors (even the main supporting P&P actors have been seen in other films that I didn't recognize or remember seeing them until I checked their IMDB filmography). These other P&P actors have done more TV and film work post-P&P and a few of them have appeared in some very recognizable and well-known films recently. I've compiled and listed them below. You'll be surprised to know that they've also appeared in some films the main P&P actors have appeared as well. Recent...
