To start you off...

Nan, you read my thoughts!!! Just this morning I was going to see if we could start a baby bro conference!!! Thank you!!!

Well, there you go...start droolin'! ;-)

Wow! Looks alot like his brother!

Dear wonderful Nan! Do you think you could find one of him as Lord Byron? He had never looked better. This will be fun. Thanks!

I have a bad one of him, you only see the side of his face (and the other guy in the shot is cuter)...

Oh, Ann... You and Peter Wingfield:) But JF is a cutie patootie:)

What are Firths when Wingfields are near?!

I beg to differ! Thanks Ann, but I hope to see a better one yet of the cutie patootie as Lord Byron.

OK-- let's get this party started, right? Reasons why Jonathan Firth is not a bad alternative to Colin: 1) He's talented in his own way 2) He's single!!!!!! 3) He doesn't come off as posh as Colin in interviews (very down to earth bloke) ... anyone care to add?

4. He looks a little like his brother 5. Chooses good roles to play 6. Looks v. good in a ruffled white shrt 7. Has a wicked grin ...anyone care to add

8. is cute 9. is my age 10. practically shares my birthday his is April 9, 1967 whereas, mine is April 10, 1968 11. would love a cute blonde (me!)

Hey Winter...been meaning to ask you what is Jeremy Northram up to these days.Last time I saw him was with Mia Sorvino and the cockroaches in Mimic. (Jonathan Firth an alternative to Colin......LOL)

Evelyn: Hey Winter...been meaning to ask you what is Jeremy Northram up to these days. Last time I saw him was with Mia Sorvino and the cockroaches in Mimic. He's got lots of films either in the can, in editing, on the shelf, etc... He was in southern California this summer shooting a film with William Macy called Happy, Texas. Don't know when that's coming out. Then he has Gloria, opposite Sharon Stone coming out this Spring, and then, he's either wrapping or just wrapped An Ideal Husband opposite Cate Blanchet,, Minnie Driver and Rupert Everett. He's quite busy, and I sincerely hope the days of cockroach films are behind him.... (Jonathan Firth an alternative to Colin......LOL) Yeah-- I call it "Firth-lite" (kinda like Diet Pepsi). Still tastes great, but with less of the baggage attached. He seems to have fewer skeletons in his closet than Big Brother. Laura: practically shares my birthday his is April 9, 1967 whereas, mine is April 10, 1968 What does that make him? A gemini? Taurus? Give us the juicy details of his sign. No, but really, I think Jonathan appeals to me in that he approaches his craft as something 'fun', yet at the same time knows it's not rocket science or curing cancer. Colin has revealed that same sentiment in interviews too. They're both humble, and know that they come from privileged backgrounds which allowed them to pursue this sort of work. To be honest too-- I think Jon mentioned having gone to Africa and doing some white-water rafting... I love rafting and that definitely gets some points in my book.

ARIES!!!!

Laura, I hate to disapoint you but his b.day is not April 9. I got this info from the FAQ at the JF Web: Where and when was he born? The sixth of April 1967 in Essex. Where did he train to be an actor? For how long? The Central Drama School for three years. Is he married? Does he have any children? No to both questions What types of things does Mr Firth like to do ? Riding horseback Does he drive a car? Yes, a 10 year old Peugot How tall? What color eyes? Height: 5'11" -- Color of eyes: Green This was a surprise! He's much shorter than big brother What was his favorite role to date? Troy in Madding Crowd. Winter,I will look up his astrological chart and post here later.

So I was a couple of days off, ah well still he is very close to my age!! Oh do mine too, would we be compatible. (I say no, but we'd be exciting wouldn't we!!!) hee hee

(Winter)Re: Jeremy Northram ......and I sincerely hope the days of cockroach films are behind him.... I didn't think Mimic was that bad. He looked awfully cute with those glasses and and his american accent was excellent...didn't you think so? Re; Jonathan Firth (Winter)....but with less of the baggage attached. He seems to have fewer skeletons in his closet than Big Brother. Less baggage...less talent...less looks.( But he's ok. )

Evelyn, that is quite harsh! he does not have less talent. we shouldn't compare the two, because they are two separate people!! They are not siamese twins. If everything was the same about them, they'd be twins!

Re; JF.... he does not have less talent. we shouldn't compare the two, because they are two separate people!! Two brothers who are in the same profession can't be compared? OK, if you say so. Actually, it is unfair...Colin has a lot more experience and therefore more gravitas than Jonathan. But Colin's work at Jonathan's age was outstanding. ...albeit some of it better than what he is doing now. (Now don't nail me down on ages and projects vis-a vis brother...I am only generalizing)

JF Birth chart as promised: Sun in Aries Moon in Pisces Mercury in Pisces Venus in Taurus Mars in Libra Jupiter in Cancer Saturn in Aries Uranus in Virgo Neptune in Sagittarius Pluto in Virgo In the Chinese calendar he is a Goat.

Did you see the new picture on the JF site? Quite dashing. If the webmistress frequents these boards:. Any new news?

You see? No wonder he has been so depressed lately. Not even his web director will come and visit.. You might like to know Jonathan is filming in France right now. You can find him on Eurostar every weekend..

Has he been depressed lately? What happened?

Hello Gals I am so excited that you are posting over here. When Karen sent me over I saw no one had posted since 1998. So I thought that the site was dead. Glad to find some Jonathan fans here. Yes, Jonathan is filming in Paris. My latest update is the following :At the end of last year Oct - Nov Jonathan played the part of Stephen in A LIKENESS IN STONE for the BBC dir. Charles Beeson. He will be filming REBEL HUNTER in Paris towards the end of this month. I don't have any further details on the production as yet, however the production companies name is Gaumont. I am so happy to find you here. Please excuse my ignorance but what is Eurostar? Thanks, Mickie

Sounds like a train, Mickie ;-) (and btw, you don't need to sign your name at the end if you change the "your name in the conference" on the main Drool page)

Does my brother-in-law stimulate you so? Que stupore! I will tell him.

Livia che piacere! Devi assolutamente restare con noi. Hai tanto da raccontarci. :-D

Va' avanti! Ascolto.

Va bene, ma ogni tanto raccontaci anche tu qualcosa e non soltanto di tuo cognato. ;-D

Basta.

I thought this little mention of Jonathan in his mother's book was sweet. Dying, Death and Bereavement in a British Hindu Community. I do not have the ISBN. It is published by Peeters, 1997 in their "New Religious Identities in the Western World" series. In the preface to her book, Dr. Shirley Firth writes: "I would not have been able to do the research without the help, patience and encouragement of my husband David. Jonathan and Kate made valuable suggestions."

Non ascoltare Arami. Senti Livia, che tipo di musica piace a Jon e tuo marito?

I see you're discussing Jon. I'm sure Mickie would very much like to know what you're saying. Or are all the Jonathan Firth lovers fluent in Italian? ;-)

I must say I love reading the messages. Unfortunately my Italian is very limited. The words the old relatives would shout our way as kids I doubt are printable on a public board. My only recent Italian is Andrea Bocelli. But I must say it looks lovely and quite continental. I know Jonathan is fluent in French -I do not know if he speaks Italian. But I am so happy to see any posts over here and people having fun-I think it's great.

Non ascoltare? You selfish lot! Surely you must realize that you will only manage to scare the rest of the visitors away. Why don't you go and start a new, separate Mumble Italiano board instead? (And Passionata trying to pretend she's Signora F.? Oh, puh-leeeeeeeeze....) ;-P

Mickie, if there are people who visit your website who would like a place to talk about Jon, you can steer them here.

Yes, Mickie, do invite them. You can even have his birthday party here in April. We would all come! :-) Glad you did not mind our little Italian chat (unlike someone else).

Do you think Jon would like the picture of Colin coming out of the cake? ;-)

Karen I like the idea of sending Jonathan fans here. Great idea. Before I put it up I would like to send the proposed invite to you to check for accuracy. Can anyone explain to me how to post pictures? Thanks

img src="http://www.whatever.com/nameofpic.jpg" But you must put around the above. It has to be a .jpg or .gif Also, try to keep the file under 50K Here is Ann's Basic HTML Tutorial, which will help out. http://www.austen.com/tutorial/index.html And Topic 61 here is used for practicing.

Do you think Jon would like the picture of Colin coming out of the cake? ;-) LMAO!

I don't know- I know how I would think of seeing my brother jump out of a cake- the thought is not pretty. But Jonathan seeme to have a wonderful sense of humor. He roomed with Rufus don't forget.

Hi All I will be calling J's agent next week. Do you have any questions you would like me to ask? Thanks

I do:) My bday is April 10 and his is April 7, can we celebrate together? (Single 32 Y.O from Boston, MA willing to relocate;))

Mickie, do you think Jon would make an appearance at his Virtual birthday party here? He can come and collect his gifts and have some cake and champagne. We always have one for Colin and it is a blast. Do invite him to come. Remember, you could it here and we will help with any questions you may have. There is plenty of time. :-D Also ask him if he plays any instruments and what his favorite musical artists are. What kind of music does he like to listen to?

Oh Laura-I loved that! If I am not mistaken he was born on the 6th of April. Hi Moon. I can assure you that there is no chance he'll do the party thing but your questions are great. I will add them to the emails inquiring if he has pets, any piercings and does he still smoke?

I do require a non-smoker;) April 6, eh? still close enough to my bday. And I am his age;)

(Mickie) I can assure you that there is no chance he'll do the party thing Thank God.

Does he like that really rich, dense, dark French chocolate cake (gatteau) which is served with raspberry coulis (a kind of puree)?

(Mickie) I can assure you that there is no chance he'll do the party thing (Evelyn)Thank God. On the other hand... ;-)

Hi Everyone Some of you asked some questions and I have the answers fron J's agency Here they are Any new projects for Jonathan? NO NOT AT THE MOMENT Does he have pierced ears?

There you have it. Thanks Mickie There you have it. Thanks Mickie

Sorry I don't know why that happened! I was trying to post a picture. Mickie

Um, you didn't ask if he would be interested in a woman from Boston, who's single and his age!!! :)

I knew I forgot something! Maybe next month. Mickie

Thanks, Mickie. At least you get an answer even if it appears three times. ;-) Was it ever rumored that he was considered for the Ripley film? Do you need html help for doing pictures? Well, even if you don't... (img src="pasteaddress") but change the parens to and it must end in .jpg or .gif

Thanks Mickie! I guess I will never get the answer for the music question from either brother. :-(

Does he have pierced ears? NOT ANY LONGER BUT HE USED TO" Has he grown new ears, then? Oooooooh, fancyyyy... is there a limit to those Firths' talents? And the younger they are, the better they get. Colin's holes are still visible even though they must be a little older... ;-)

close tag - sorry, I must be tired... :-)

I could close Colin's ear holes for him, but he may need them for other movies, I suppose ;-)

Mickie, perhaps next month you could ask if JF has or had piercings anywhere else on his body besides is ears? Or how about tatoos? I'm sorry for being flippant. Forgive me please. Thanks for asking the "Ripley" question. Might you consider asking if he is attracted to rather literary projects; i.e., screenplays/teleplays based on books. If he prefers them to original scripts.

Gi, no one "needs" holes anywhere for acting. The make-up and props departments can fix these things with ease - not forgetting the modern digital technology in films.

HI Cheryl, Actually that was the question- "Does Jonathan Firth have any piercings?" I was too embarassed to ask that, so I confined the question to the lobes only!!! Mickie

I don't blame you! There has to be some sense of mystery. Well, at least decorum.

The make-up and props departments can fix these things with ease - not forgetting the modern digital technology in films. They slipped up in FP and SLOW.

In what way? I didn't know he was to sport earrings in those films. What I meant is, it's relatively easy to attach various pendants on an actor's body without the need for piercings.

The make-up and props departments can fix these things with ease - not forgetting the modern digital technology in films. They slipped up in FP and SLOW. In what way? Sorry...I thought you were responding to Gi who said she could cover up those holes in his ears.In FP and SLOW the holes in the left ear were prominent.

No, no: the fault is all mine. Evidently I haven't expressed myself clearly enough. Regardless of Gi's willingness to attend to Colin's holes - all I meant was that body piercings are not necessary for actors. They (piercings) are only people's private whims.

Hi Everyone I heard from the director of An Ideal Husband It should be out either on TV or directly to video. You can see a wonderful poster at the site http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Theater/3782/ideal.html. Also the movie SIX PACK has a web site. It is in French. You can find it at http://www.cplus.fr/html/cinema/dossiers/serial-killer/six.html. He also filmed an upcoming Relic Hunter in France.
