David Oakes
In an attempt to distance himself from his "TV Period Bad Boy" image, in 2013 David played Mr Darcy in an adaptation of Pride and Prejudice at Open Air Theatre, Regent's Park. He said, ""I've been playing bad guys back to back, so Darcy's a bit of an antidote!"" He followed this by more stage work, appearing in the world premiere of "Shakespeare in Love" at the Noël Coward Theatre as Christopher Marlowe.
