He's a brilliant actor, I have a lotta respect for him. Also, his surname is Murphy, just like me, and he is from Cork, just like me! It's a pretty small place!
Welcome to the TV.com Forums for Cillian Murphy. Here is your area to discuss, dissect and debate all things about this person.
My god he looked so good in that movie. I watched 28 days and i didn't know he was the main character in that movie but that's how i really started getting into him. I still maintain that he looked the best in the batman movie - clean shaven, glasses and evil and conniving. God i'd watch it again just to see him in it.
The first film I saw with Cillian Murphy was "28 Days Later". To be honest, the first time I saw it at the theatre, I didn't really get into it because I was expecting something totally different. However, after seeing some of Cillian's other movie roles, I began to appreciate the richness of content that can only be delivered by a "real actor", with a "real screen play". We Americans are so accustomed to "Hollywood fluff" that I think we've forgotten who the "real artists" are.
I absolutely love all of Cillian Murphy's films- even though some of them are a bit "edgy" (Breakfast on Pluto for example). I really appreciate his talent and willingness to take on challenging roles and I look forward to seeing more of his work.
He's also gorgeous! (just fyi...)
Cillian Murphy is an amazing actor. His performance as a villian in "Red Eye" was chilling, not to mention pure Academy Award material. His talent was shown as another evil character in "Batman Begins" as the frightening Scarecrow. I still have yet to see "Breakfast on Pluto", which Murphy was nominated for a Golden Globe. Disappointingly, this award was snatched from him by Joaquin Phoenix for "Walk the Line". In the future, I would really enjoy watching him in a variety of roles, although he is an excellent villian. I am positively sure that Cillian Murphy is here to stay.
Cillian is a very talented and amazingly attractive! Their is not a day that goes by where I don't think about him! In all of his movies, he does make the character he plays, seem alive and real! Thats why he is my favorite actor!!! Cillian whatever it is that you do in your movies, it's working! keep it up!
Cillian Murphy is highly talented, under-rated, and one of the best actors I've seen in quite a while. And I'm not just saying that because he's drop-dead gorgeous. He realy IS awesome, no matter what part, what character, what circumstances he has to work with. I've seen him in three movies, and I saw all of them just because of him. Now, I am starting a Cillian Murphy Movie Collection. I've seen Red Eye (awesome thriller, by the way), Batman Begins (Tim Burton is the coolest), and 28 Days Later, which scared the shiznit out of me. All totally awesome. If you haven't seen any of these, go to Blockbuster and spend a couple dollars. You will not be disappointed, I assure you!
