Talk:Gabriel Byrne

First Film Role?
Says "He made his film debut in 1981, as King Uther Pendragon in..." not sure how this works but he definitely had a brief speaking role in The Outsider (1979) and an earlier film with no details is on the IMDB page as well. Should it be lightly reworded or something to say more like "he had been in a handful of films during his TV career, but made the move to film with the role of..." sort of thing instead? Not going to do the edit because not sure what qualifies or if I am being nitpicky Shoobe01 (talk) 18:29, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

Tortured characters
I am not sure if this applies to his other roles, but reading about his roles in Cool World and In Treatment, he seems to play people who become withdrawn within their specialties to the point of antisocialism who are tempted to escape through women who want to use the character to change themselves, does this come up in any other roles?

Matador?
i once heard off a freind that gabriel byrne worked as a matador for 12 months in spain before he became an actor i have no idea wheter this is true or not --Bouse23 (talk) 02:35, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Name-phonetics
I have for years always pronounces his name the same as 'burn'. I have recently been told that it is not, that it is instead pronounced 'Bernie'. I would like somone to verify this one way or the other. I assume that one could find a proper pronunciation on some old talkshow reels. I truly wish that wikipedia did IPA pronunciation keys on names, as it would be useful, and could solve such issues.

Many thanks ahead of time to anyone able to help me out on this issue. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Carnauth (talk • contribs) 02:29, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

Big career gap
Does it strike anyone else as odd that the "Career" section mentions nothing from 1984 to 2006, during which Byrne became a major figure in western cinema? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.111.165.47 (talk) 23:54, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
