COLIN James FARRELL (born 31 May 1976) Irish Film Actor, celebrates his Birthday today. He appeared on the BBCs Ballykissangel in 1998, made his film debut in the Tim Roth-directed The War Zone a year later and was discovered by Joel Schumacher for Tigerland (2000). He then starred in Schumachers Phone Booth (2002) and the American thrillers S.W.A.T. and The Recruit (both 2003), establishing his international box-office appeal. During that time, he also appeared in Steven Spielberg’s Minority Report (2002) and as the villain Bullseye in Daredevil (2003). After starring in the independent films Intermission (2003) and A Home at the End of the World (2004) he headed Oliver Stone’s biopic Alexander (2004) and the Terrence Malick Pocahontas movie, The New World (2005). Work in Michael Mann’s Miami Vice, the adaptation of John Fantes Ask the Dust (both 2006) and Woody Allen’s Cassandras Dream (2007) followed, underscoring Farrells popularity among Hollywood writers and directors; however, it was for his role in Martin McDonagh’s In Bruges (2008) that he received a Golden Globe Award. More recently, he co-starred in the Fright Night (2011) and Total Recall (2012) remakes and McDonaghs second feature, Seven Psychopaths (2012). Farrell also starred with Noomi Rapace in the Niels Arden Oplev-directed action film Dead Man Down, and as Travers Goff in Saving Mr. Banks (both in 2013). In 2014, Farrell starred as Peter Lake in Winters Tale, an adaptation of the novel of the same name. He set to co-star with Jessica Chastain in Liv Ullmanns adaptation of Miss Julie. A favourite with film critics such as Peter Bradshaw, Manohla Dargis, and Roger Ebert, during the 2000s Farrell developed a reputation as a lothario and dated numerous women. He was named one of People magazines 50 Most Beautiful People in 2003. Farrell has two sons: one with model Kim Bordenave and another with his Ondine costar, Alicja Bachleda-Curuś. Wishing him Many Many Happy Returns of the Day.
