Cillian Murphy
On May 25, 1976, Cillian Murphy was born in Douglas, Cork, Ireland. His father works for the Irish Department of Education, while his mother teaches French. He was the eldest of his three younger siblings. After a year or so, he left University College Cork to pursue his legal studies. Murphy also followed his passion for music at this time, participating in a number of bands as a guitarist. After graduating from college, Murphy joined Cork's Corcadorca Theater Company, where he starred in several pieces, including Disco Pigs 

Then came a string of movie roles, including one in the 2001 film adaption of Disco Pigs. But it was until Danny Boyle cast him in 28 Days Later (2002)  that he got his big break in the movie industry. The "rage virus" at the heart of the movie infects people, and in a creative departure from zombie movie conventions, these infected people move fast as they assault the uninfected. Played by Murphy, the man wakes up from a coma 28 days after the outbreak and heads out of London with a small group of uninfected people in quest of safety. After the unexpected success of the film, Murphy attracted attention from the film industry and landed small parts in the 2003 Oscar nominees  Cold Mountain  and  Girl with a Pearl Earring . He was nominated for  Best Newcomer at the Empire Awards  and  Breakthrough Male Performance  at the MTV Movie Awards for this performance.

He is most recognized for his leading part in the television series Peaky Blinders (2013–22) and his cameos in a number of Christopher Nolan's successful blockbuster films. In the television series Peaky Blinders, Murphy made a comeback to notoriety as Tommy Shelby , the head of a gang of outlaws operating in England in the years between World Wars I and II. The show's style, historical authenticity, and performances—especially Murphy's—made it a critical and commercial triumph. This year, Murphy will play the lead in the film Oppenheimer which is released in July 2023. Cillian Murphy portrays J. Robert Oppenheimer is known as the Father of the Atomic Bomb for his role in the Manhattan Project, the World War II project that created the first nuclear weapons. Based on Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin's 2005 biography, American Prometheus, the film follows Oppenheimer's life, focusing on his studies, his leadership of the Manhattan Project during WWII, and his eventual fall from grace as a result of his 1954 security hearing.
