I like the Colin Firth version of Darcy best because he really captures the ten thousand yard stare of helpless frustration that comes with knowing he fucked up another social situation.

That's the look of someone who's internal gears are furiously whirring to review what Rule Of Normal Social Contact he missed this time. Guy who is never, ever going to stop being so fucking awkward. Determinedly frustrated because he's following the rules, and it still blows up in his face. From a social engagement perspective, he falls for the fake road painted on the mountain's side every time and every social situation has the chance of slamming face first into a rock wall. Talking to people is like defusing a bomb. His friends all think he's cool as shit because of his word economy while he's full time trying to find the verbal cheat code to end every social interaction as quickly as possible.
