Actor career

William Joseph Firth played one of the main roles in this film - John Internet. He told the press that Colin Firth helped him get used to a new, unusual role for him, and William also mentioned that their styles of play and character types are very different with his father. Unlike Colin’s usual roles, William Joseph Firth played a negative character, a young scoundrel guy who left the girl after a night with her.
William says that his father has a more classic British noble appearance than he, and the roles of dramatic gentlemen are much more suitable for Colin. William says that he has not yet found “his” type of roles and is still in search of his niche. During training in acting, he most often got comedic roles or parties of villains. William believes that this is because of his appearance. He calls himself like a typical long and slightly messy Canadian.
