Acting Dad

Two-time dad Colin Firth will be the premier screen daddy for the next few months.

In the just-opened "Then She Found Me" he plays the father of a student whose teacher (Helen Hunt) desires a love interest. He is the son unreconciled with his father in "And When Did You Last See Your Father?" (released in Ireland in 2007, but not scheduled for the States until June 2008). He will take a bit of being a father — playing the cast aside fiance — in "The Accidental Husband," opening in August, but returns as one of the possible daddies that are part of the bare plot that gives a reason for ABBA's songs to be haunting radio airwaves and MP3 players when Mamma Mia (the movie) hits screens in August.
