Who would have thought that a handsome man with expressive blue eyes and cheekbones would be 46 years old. We do not believe in the age of the actor – but in talent, yes!
Cillian dreamed of cinema from his youth: from the age of 16 he joined a theater club in Cork, and at the age of 21 he made his debut in the short film Time. 25 years have passed since then – during this time the actor appeared in more than 60 films and TV shows and was remembered by the audience first of all for his role as a villain. We remember the roles of the Irishman better – and note which tapes you need to watch tonight.
