Colin O'Donoghue

Young Irish actor Colin O'Donoghue brought to the peak of world popularity the role of Captain Hook, played in the dramatic fantasy series "Once Upon a Time in a Tale." Real fans of the charming Irishman know that the talent of their idol is multifaceted. Colin is a wonderful rock musician and vocalist, theatre actor and showman.

The future screen star was born in the first month of 1981 in the Irish port city of Droeda, 56 kilometres from Dublin. The roman Catholic parents Cohn and Mary named Colin Arthur's firstborn, Jeffrey O'Donoghue. Later, Allen's second son was born. The children were brought up in love and rigor, instilling religiosity and respect for family values.

Colin grew up an artistic boy, which manifested itself in childhood and adolescence, when he was studying at Droeda comprehensive school. After graduating, O'Donoghue went to Dublin, where he received the basics of acting in the studio "Gayreti". At 16, the inquisitive young man went to Paris to expand his horizons, where he studied French and became familiar with the country's culture.

On his return to his homeland he continued to polish his acting skills, dreaming of a career as an artist.

Colin O'Donoghue's creative biography began on the stage, but the Irishman quickly moved to television, playing the first roles in low-budget projects. In 2001, the audience saw the artist in the films "Soap Opera" and "Rebel Heart". A year later, the actor appeared as Norman kvest in the Norwegian director and screenwriter Bent Homer's drama Home for Christmas. In 2003, O'Donoghue won the national award as a talented newcomer for his work in the film.

In 2004, the young artist was invited to the role of Peter in the low-budget film "Love is a drug." But not this project, and the next - the Danish-Irish TV show "Proof" - brought Colin O'Donoghue recognition in Britain and Ireland. English director John Madden offered the Irishman a cameo - a guy named Jamie. And the key characters in the drama were Hollywood stars Gwyneth Paltrow, Anthony Hopkins, Hope Davis and Jake Gyllenhaal.

The picture with such a stellar composition could not go unnoticed, as well as a young actor who appeared in the project with the legends of world cinema. Unsurprisingly, o'Donoghue has since been closely watched by other directors and producers. Colin was offered roles in the projects "City Of The Tale," "24/7," "The Clinic."

The real success for the rising star was participation in the historical drama of the British director and screenwriter Michael Hirst. Mather suggested the artist to be reincarnated as the Duke of Bavarian, Philip, with which he, according to critics and audiences, coped brilliantly. The multi-episode drama "The Tudors" brought the Irishman, who appeared on screens in the 3rd season, the first high-profile fame and experience of filming in large-scale historical projects.

The Work of the Tudors opened colin O'Donoghue's door to the "dream factory." In 2011, the audience saw a talented actor in two American films. In the first - the dramatic detective Gary Fleder "Identification" - Colin starred alongside Angela Bassett and Bree Turner.

Film critics and tv viewers coolly greeted the tape. But the second picture - the mystical thriller "Rite" - had a box office success and three times blocked the cost of shooting. Swedish director Mikael Hofstrom, who "signed" in Hollywood, has assembled on the set a star-studded line-up that does not need a performance.

"The Rite" is an adaptation of Matt Baglio's book about exorcists and their rites of expulsion of demons. Seminarist Michael Kovak (Colin O'Donoghue), leaving the walls of a spiritual educational institution, skeptical of the rite of exorcism. But visiting the Vatican, where he met Father Lucas Trevent (Anthony Hopkins), changes his mind. The "movie" father of the seminarian Kovak was played by the legendary Rutger Hauer.

A year later, Colin was invited to the 2nd season of the fantasy series "Once Upon a Time in a Tale", where he was offered to play Captain Jones named Hook. The audience had a new character and actor who embodied him so much that O'Donoghue starred in all the subsequent seasons of the series. A total of 7 seasons of the project were released. The final of the last one took place in the spring of 2018.

On the set, the Irishman met Jennifer Morrison, Ginnifer Goodwin, Lana Parry, Robert Carlyle and other famous colleagues. Today, the role of a charismatic captain is the best in the filmography of the artist.

While starring in the series, Colin O'Donoghue had time to work on the sites of other projects. In the spring of 2016, he appeared in the drama "Sandstorm," where fans recognized the actor in a key character named Brennan. This is a melodrama about a musician suffering from life's adversity, who met a former lover.

From historical and heroic characters, Colin rested, playing a comedic hero in the film "Kerry Pilby." Director Susan Johnson invited O'Donoghue to the role of charming Professor Harrison.

Colleagues and friends of Colin claim that he is not only outwardly, but also internally beautiful. Star disease is alien to O'Donoghue, it is simple and sociable. Journalists of yellow editions do not give food for publications, because he has created a strong family, which is very cherished.

In 2009, the actor led a girl named Helen to the crown. In 2013, his wife gave him his first child Evan, and in 2017 - a daughter Millie. Helen O'Donoghue has nothing to do with film and show business. She's a modest schoolteacher, a custodian of the home.

The personal life of the star was born happily. If Colin goes to the shooting for a long time, leaving his native Ireland, certainly takes with him a silver crucifix, which gave him a wife.

The family settled in the actor's native Droed a drome and is not going to change the city to the sparkling lights of Los Angeles to be closer to Hollywood. Colin says that no one can know what will happen next fate and creative career. Fame is short-lived, and the house, where his wife and children live, the city in which he was born, forever with him.

The Irish star has a long-standing passion, to which he returns in his spare time. This is the rock band The Enemies, where O'Donoghue is a guitarist and frontman. In 2011, the band recorded a studio album, but due to filming in America, the artist had to leave the music.

In the fall of 2012, the actor started a page on Instagram, but does not spoil subscribers with family photos.

O'Donoghue is in great physical shape. At 1.80 m height, the weight does not exceed 73 kg. His taut torso with beautiful muscles drives thousands of fans crazy.

In August 2018, Josh Mendoza's American thriller "What's Left," in which O'Donoghue shared the title roles with Lulu Antarica, Mimi Rogers and Don Norwood.

In 2019, the man was seen in the TV series "The Heart Strings of Dolly Parton", where the main character is played by the actress and "queen of the country" Parton, and the supporting roles went to Colin O'Donoghue, Athena Akers and Sarah Shahi.

Now the actor is busy on the set of the British-Irish melodrama "The Tale of New York". It is not known when the film will premiere.
