Brendan Gleeson

Brendan Gleeson is a popular Irish actor, director and screenwriter. The actor became famous for the Harry Potter franchise and the collaboration with the playwright and director Martin McDonagh on the films Six Shooter, Lay Down in Bruges, and Calvary. Brendan Gleeson is the recipient of an Emmy, BAFTA and multiple Golden Globe nominations.

Brendan Gleeson is a native of Dublin, the capital of Ireland. He was born on March 29, 1955 and spent his childhood in his hometown. The boy's hobby for reading, in particular for classical literature, served as an additional motivation for the emergence of interest in acting. Brendan studied theater and was a member of the local troupe. The boy also learned to play the violin. This skill came in handy for him several times later.

After completing his studies at school, Brendan entered University College Dublin. The young man received his higher education at the London Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts. Having become a certified actor, the young man played on the stage of city theaters. Critics noted his dramatic talent and work on the role in productions based on the plays of William Shakespeare and Anton Pavlovich Chekhov.

Over time, Brendan decided to return to his homeland and continue his professional career in Dublin, but there was no worthy position for Gleason. The talented artist was forced to take up teaching. He got a job as a teacher in a high school, where he taught children in Irish and English. Gleason also taught English drama at the Belcamp school near town.

At 34, Brendan returned to the profession. The actor's film debut took place in 1990 in a dramatic film called "Field". He was followed by roles in little-known Irish and British films. The actor even became a participant in Hollywood projects, which were filmed in England.

The picture that brought Gleason his first success was the film "Braveheart". The historical drama was released in 1995. In the frame, the artist embodied Hamish Campbell. Brendan Gleason's partners on the set were Sophie Marceau and Mel Gibson, who invited the man to cooperate.

The project won 5 Academy Awards and helped Gleason gain fame. Since then, there has been no end to the invitations of directors and producers, and Brendan's photos have appeared in glossy magazines along with pictures of Hollywood stars of the first magnitude.

In 1996, the actor participated in the creation of the Michael Collins project, in which Liam Neeson and Julia Roberts were involved. In 1997, Gleason managed to star in 6 films at once. The main roles went to the actor in the drama "Further Gesture" and the thriller "Turbulence". Despite the demand in Hollywood, Brendan agreed to the proposals of the Irish producers. In 1999, he portrayed the Irish robber and criminal Martin Cahill in The General.

The film "Troy" showed the audience a different Gleason. The actor masterfully reincarnated as Menelaus, the king of Sparta. Some time later, he portrayed Walter Maginn in the movie Gangs of New York, directed by Martin Scorsese.

The crime drama Lying Down in Bruges, released in 2007, marked the beginning of a fruitful collaboration with playwright and director Martin McDonagh. The duet with Collin Farrell was critically acclaimed. For his role, Brendan Gleeson was nominated for a Golden Globe and received a BAFTA from the British Film Academy.

A new project that allowed Gleason to demonstrate himself in an alternative role was the franchise about the wizard boy Harry Potter. The film "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" introduced the audience to the Auror - Professor Alastor Moody, who also appeared in the film "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows".

2010 brought the artist a new nomination for the Golden Globe, and also added the prestigious Emmy award for his role in the television project Towards the Storm. In it, Brendan Gleeson played Winston Churchill.

In 2012, the actor was again nominated for a Golden Globe for his role as Jerry Boyle in Once Upon a Time in Ireland. The collaboration with McDonagh on the Calvary project was also significant. The artist appeared before the public in the guise of priest James Lavelle and was nominated for a European Film Academy Award.

The actor continues to delight fans with new works in films, demonstrating flexibility in working on the role, the ability to transform and get used to the image. He cannot be seen in comedies, as producers and directors often offer Gleason deep dramatic roles, in which the hero has to deal with intrapersonal conflict.

Brendan Gleeson is married to Mary Gleeson. In union with his wife, four sons were born: Donal, Fergus, Bryn and Rory. The children turned out to be no less talented than their father. Donal Gleeson is pursuing an acting career. The actor's filmography includes the role of Bill Weasley in the Harry Potter franchise and General Hux in Star Wars.

Fergus Gleeson tries himself in music. The young man is an aspiring composer. His works are featured in Irish films known in the author's homeland.

The creative development of Brin Gleason can be traced to the films "Mom!", "Phantom Thread", the series "Jurassic Portal" and "Love / Hate". The young man, like his older brother, is famous in Hollywood and starred in films with a multi-million dollar budget.

Rory Gleason became a writer. The author of Rockadoon Shore holds a BA in Fiction from the University of Manchester.

Brendan Gleeson is happy in his personal life. He combines work with hobbies for music and Irish folklore. The artist demonstrated his musical talent and love for playing the violin in several films, including the film "Cold Mountain".

The creative biography of Brendan Gleason is now being replenished with interesting projects that the artist could only dream of in his youth. By 2018, he has become one of the most in-demand Irish artists in Hollywood.

Since 2017, the artist has been taking part in the filming of the series "Mister Mercedes" based on the work of Stephen King. Gleeson plays Bill Hodges, a retired cop. The successful premiere of the project makes it possible to assume that several seasons of the television series with the participation of their favorite artist await the audience.
