Born:
May 25, 1976
in
Cork
Best Known For:
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. Until his early 20s, Cillian focused his energies on making his band, The Sons of Mr Greengenes, a success; they were offered a five-album deal, but felt its terms weren't favourable and turned it down. 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.
Quote:
'I haven't created any controversy, I don't sleep around, I don't go and fall down drunk.'
Trivia:
Away from the screen, Murphy continues to dabble with music and is a vegetarian.

Career:

She made her TV debut in the 1993 series Full Stretch; her first film was Interview with the Vampire a year later, and she won a Royal Television Award for another early project, Streetlife, in which she starred alongside Rhys Ifans. She's continued to juggle theatre and screen work ever since. Among her best-known movies are Charlotte Gray, The Count of Monte Cristo, Enduring Love, The Queen, Skyfall and three entries in the Harry Potter franchise. On TV she's appeared in Trial & Retribution, Anna Karenina, North Square, Lucky Jim, Messiah, Life, Doctor Who and Peaky Blinders. She's also filmed the miniseries To Appomattox alongside Rob Lowe and her husband, Damian Lewis.
