His turn in 28 Days Later and Inception.
Early-life:
Born on May 25, 1976, in Cork, the eldest of four children. His father works for the Irish Department of Education, his mother is a French teacher. As a youth, he got a taste of acting in school plays, but instead decided to become a musician.

After briefly studying law at University College Cork, he fell into acting with an amateur group.
Career:
In 1996, Murphy made his professional stage debut in Enda Walsh's Disco Pigs. The runaway success of the play prompted him to leave university and quit his band, and led to him landing an agent. Between 1997 and 2003, he busied himself in an array of indie productions, but it was his powerful performance in the 2002 thriller 28 Days Later that really got him noticed. Since then, he has notched up impressive performances in a number of diverse films, including The Wind That Shakes The Barley, Sunshine, Girl with a Pearl Earring, Cold Mountain, Red Eye, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, Inception and Tron: Legacy. He's also the star of the BBC's Peaky Blinders.
