but Mr. Darcy is a close second. Haven't seen the last two, although Ciaran Hinds was a good Rochester.
Exhibit A:

Must see the Timothy Dalton Rochester...

I'm going to say he's the best that I've seen. Of course, this was a series and not just a two hour movie .
OK, time for a rewatch.
I was not a fan of Wuthering Heights, but maybe I should have mentioned its star Heathcliff?

even if I love Poldark and how Aidan plays it. The reason lies probably in the fact that North and South is a better novel than the Poldark series.

Yeah, he was good in that  But he did a fair amount of brooding in "Warrior" as well:
Yeah, it took Richard Armitage to get me off my Hardy obsession! But let's face it, NOBODY can do full-on brooding like Richard
Whether it's Guy of Gisborne,
John Mulligan,
Or Lucas North,
he can out-brood the best of 'em. And of course there's THIS guy:
So, as much as I like Aidan in "Poldark", it's just got to be Richard!

He did both Heathcliff and Mr. Rochester too. Actually I think that probably makes him the king of the rotors.

much as I love Dalton as Rochester, I think Orson Welles outdid him in the broody aspect in the role.

But I think I'm going to have to change my mind and go with TD. No, I didn't like Wuthering Heights, but he was an A number one brooder in two classics. Gotta give him credit.

but I think I'd like to vote for David Rintoul as Mr. Darcy in the 1980 film. It's been awhile since I've seen it, but I recall we got brooding, brooding, and more brooding.
We got quite a lot of lovely brooding with Mr. Thornton, but I would say it's tempered with a tidy bit of glowering.

He certainly looked the part better than any of the other actors who have played Darcy. I was shocked to realize when I saw him a later part (Five Red Herrings in fact) that they'd built up the bridge of his nose for Darcy to give him an aquiline profile. (Matthew MacFadyen would have benefited from a similar prostheses methinks.)
