Firth later had an opportunity to showcase a fuller range of emotion and acting skill as the very complicated Sergeant Troy in a superior remake of Far from the Madding Crowd (1998). More recently, Mr. Firth was cast as the morally upright Prince Albert in A & E's production of Victoria & Albert (2001). His latest credits include "Luther" (2003), a memorable guest appearance on "Ghost Whisperer" (2006) as well as playing Soren in the "The Prince and Me" sequels (2006 - 2010).
