Colin Firth

Reason Of Firing
Known to American audiences for his Academy Award-winning performance in The King’s Speech and starring in the Kingsman series, English actor Colin Firth was initially signed on to 2014’s Paddington to voice the adorable title bear. Firth completed voice-over work for the entire film but once producers saw the finished product, they concluded that Firth’s mature vocal tone just wasn’t the right fit for the character. Fortunately, it sounds like both parties agreed, as Firth reportedly felt the same way about his performance and consented to Ben Whishaw (Skyfall) being brought in as his replacement.

Character
He was set to play Paddington in the 2014 movie Paddington
