Colin Farrell
Colin James Farrell is a multi-talented Irish actor whose reputation for captivating performances in a wide variety of roles has made him one of the most in-demand actors in Hollywood. From his breakout role in the BBC drama series Ballykissangel in 1998 to his unforgettable turn as the villain Bullseye in 2003's Daredevil, Farrell has consistently delivered powerful portrayals in both independent and major studio films.
He won a Golden Globe for Best Actor – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy for his role in 2008's In Bruges, but his accolades are only just the beginning of his extraordinary success story. His other critically acclaimed performances include Alexander the Great in 2004's Alexander, the romantic lead in The New World, and the unforgettable Peter Lake in the 2014 fantasy film Winter's Tale.
Not one to shy away from a challenge, Farrell has also excelled in roles that require a bit of comic relief. He has earned laughs in Horrible Bosses, Fright Night, Seven Psychopaths, and Saving Mr. Banks, where he portrayed the father of P.L. Travers. His most recent role as Percival Graves in the Harry Potter spin-off Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them only proved that this Irish actor can make even the most serious of roles seem lighthearted.
Farrell's career shows no signs of slowing down, as he is set to appear in the highly anticipated The Batman in 2022. His impressive resume has earned him a place on The Irish Times' list of Ireland's greatest film actors, and with his remarkable talent, it's clear that Farrell is only getting started. As he likes to joke, "I'm not a hero - I'm a movie star!"
