Very Young and Cute Colin Firth Playing an Arrogant Genius Writer :)

A very young, funny and lovely Colin Firth playing an arrogant, smug, eccentric playwright (Rene Wilcox) in the adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's 'Tales from the Hollywood Hills: Pat Hobby Teamed with Genius'(1987) Ch. Lloyd plays a screenwriter, once successful in the silent age of cinema, but now broke and hanging around Hollywood to find opportunities. Pat Hobby steals the screenplay, because the young sensation prefers to work alone, refuses to collaborate and makes fun of him instead. Of course Pat Hobby stole the wrong script and Wilcox begins to study him for a future project involving a pathetic man.

Thank you! What a find! That recognizable voice! He’s been acting since he was 10. By the time he played Darcy he’d already had 25 years of acting experience. Amazing man!

C.Lloyd is geat of course, but I always imagined Pat Hobby to be more like Rodney Dangerfield.
