Biography

Cillian Murphy (Born March 13, 1974 in Douglas, Cork, Ireland) is an Irish actor and musician. Cillian is an Irish name and is also sometimes spelled Killian; both spellings are pronounced "Kil ee an".

Murphy studied law in University College Cork. Initially his interest in performing was led by music, he played guitar with a Frank Zappa influenced band called Sons of Mr. Greengenes. However by the time he left college his primary interest was in acting. His first major role was in the UCC Drama Society production of Observe The Sons of Ulster Marching Towards The Somme and he went on the appear on stage in Disco Pigs. After touring with Disco Pigs in London, Edinburgh and Cork he left UCC without graduating.

Disco Pigs was Murphy's first big break into movies. He was cast in the central role of Pig in Corcadorca's 1996 production of Enda Walsh's original play and he later reprised that role for the 2001 feature film version by Kirsten Sheridan. However it wasn't until Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later became 2003's sleeper hit in the USA that the bigger studios and directors started to take notice.

In recent years he has had smaller parts in such Hollywood films as Girl with a Pearl Earring and Cold Mountain. His role as The Scarecrow in Batman Begins (released June 15th 2005) may prove to be more high profile.

He currently resides in North London.

Murphy married his long term girlfriend, Yvonne, in August 2004.

Personal quotes
"I'd probably have been wealthier if I had stayed with law, but pretty miserable doing it."

"It's basically lazy journalism if they say I'm the new Colin Farrell. This thing about heat, it's all just hot air".

"You're an actor who's Irish, not an Irish actor." And you shouldn't be limited by your extraction.' On breaking the Irish type cast

"It's easy to take the check, you know, but if you want to have any longevity, just take things that have artistic merit in them. I want to do quality. If it's good telly, I'll do it. If it's good theater, I'll do it."

The Official Cillian Murphy Fanforum re-written Songs

At first I was crazy
then I went insane
kept thinking
Cillian would want me
by his side
spent oh so many nights
thinking how he could do me right
I brought condoms brought the whipped cream along...

I will get Cillian
oh as long as I know
I got him by myside
after he leaves his wife

Here I am once again Cillian
I'm torn in to pieces
can't deny it can't pretend
your wife is not the one
but you won't get to see
the tears she cried
behind her hazel eyes
