    Oscar nominated-actor Colin Firth's film career is like a walk through the library. He's been in adaptations from A Christmas Carol, to Nostromo to Pride and Prejudice, with Bridget Jones thrown in. He currently stars in the adaptation of A Single Man.

    Elvis talks to Colin about the similarities between his roles in A Single Man and the 1989 film Apartment Zero, the different requirements of playing comedy and drama, working with director Tom Ford, the many faces of discrimination (racism, ageism, homophobia) and the hypocrisy that the life of an actor can involve.
