“But what if she doesn’t love the man? She loved you still too?”
"I just think that when two people love each other and want to stay together, so they must, unless there are great impediments against it. So it would be the Gods' will that they would remain apart. But it's difficult to judge a situation in which you're not in. I guess she loves me and I love her back? So why should I think about any difficulties?"

Is it possible to make a photoset of Actors who wore a Wig as Monsieur Firmin?
Firmin is one of the characters in the show that the actor playing him use their real (or sometime lack of) hair for the part
I know Craig Bennet and Understudy David Michael Garry wore wigs when they played the role on Broadway
Michael Robert Lowe from the London Production initially wore one for his cover run, but apparently for some reason did not wear it when he official went on for the role.
Now, if you had asked me about André wigs I would have had a lot more to say. I love his flamboyant curls, and some of them are so clearly a wig...! But Firmin... I think my main interest there is the ones doing the awesomely silly "comma curls" as seen in Maria Bjørnson's design:
(depicted above: Richard Hazell in Wst End, Carl Christian Rasmussen and Steen Springborg in Copenhagen, John O'May in the World Tour)
For this look I think they usually feature their own hair, with added sideburns. Anton Rattinger in Hamburg is probably an exception, judging from rehearsal photos VS stage photos:
They never seemed keen on that look on Broadway, or the US in general. They have however done all possible other looks, from bald to horseshoe hairline to spiky hairdo to extravagant stylings. Usually I can't tell if there is a wig involved or not in the latter styles. For example, I didn't know Craig Bennett wore one! But looking closer at his Restaged Tour look, rehearsal look, different Broadway stylings and backstage photos, you are probably right.
I am open for extension or colouring being added to the actor's own hair, but I kinda assume there is a wig involved when Firmin has dark-ish hair with grey bangs. It looks a bit too planned. So yeah, here's Craig Bennett on Broadway:
And Wang Zhiru (?) in Beijing:
ETA: James Borthwick in the World Tour revival 2019-2020 had Firmin's "comma curls" styling, while he in his original run in South Africa and the World Tour 2011-2013 had the Broadway styling with grey bangs. That indicates to me his first look was a wig.
And even if Barry James (West End, RAH) in large is depicted with the "comma curls" it does look like he wigged up a few times. I don't know the context for the wig, but I do know he liked to experiment with his portrayal so maybe that is related. Or did he ever go on as André?
But I am afraid I don't have a complete list for you!

“ManChu, would you rather have Helena have to marry another, while you love her or have her live with you yet resent it?”
"Loving her, I want her to be happy. So, if she doesn't love me but anyone else, I would rather have Helena happy and married with the one she loves"
