Joseph William Gilgun

Joseph William Gilgun is a British actor who became famous among moviegoers thanks to the series "Emmerdale", "This is England" and "Dregs". Also, the actor got a role in the new bright television series-adaptation of the comic book series of the same name published by Vertigo "Preacher".

Joseph Gilgan was born and raised in Chorley, Lancashire, the son of Judith and Andrew Gilgun. Joseph was the firstborn of his parents, and then two younger sisters were born - Jenny and Rose.

When the boy started elementary school, the school psychologist determined that Joseph was suffering from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Subsequent examinations revealed another problem - Gilgan suffers from congenital dyslexia: it is difficult for the actor to read and write. To liberate and calm the child, psychologists advised to send the boy to a theater studio.

Therefore, in parallel with receiving general education at Rivington Primary School and Soutlands High School, Gilgan also studied at Lane Johnson Theater School. Joseph liked the drama lessons very much, and the teachers found a certain talent in the 8-year-old boy. Four years later, the teenager had already made his feature film debut, but at that time Gilgan did not associate acting with his future profession.

After graduation, Joseph Gilgun became a student at Ranshaw College of Art, where he majored in fashion design. But the work of a couturier also seemed uninteresting to the guy, and studying in an academic style pissed off Gilgan. As a result, the young man leaves the university and starts working as a plasterer. Joseph lined the walls of houses for several years, until the moment when the young man was called to the main role in the already established multi-season family drama.

The first picture of a very young Joseph Gilgan was the popular British soap opera Coronation Street, in which the actor starred until he was 14 years old. The first major role that caused Joseph to quit construction work went to Gilgun in the family series Emmerdale Farm. At first, the actor was delighted to be a part of this project, because the drama had already been on television by that time for 34 years and managed to gain success. But gradually Gilgan realized that he could not develop as a professional, constantly performing the same character.

In 2010, Gilgun announced that he was ending his collaboration with the TV series Emmerdale. Although I must say that in parallel, Joseph still starred, for example, in the popular historical film about skinheads "This is England". The audience liked the heroes of the picture, so later three mini-series about the further adventures of these heroes followed - "This is England 86", "This is England 88" and "This is England 90".

The series "Waste" became a cult series, which in Russia came out under different names, for example, "Bad" and "Losers". This is a parody series of the popular superhero stories. This time, superpowers are not given to highly spiritual characters eager to save the world, but to five offenders who are serving their sentences in compulsory community service. These superpowers reflect and ridicule the main features of the characters' personalities and only complicate the life of the gifted.

True, Gilgan appeared there only from the third season, playing Rudy Wade, suffering from a material split of personality (the ability to create his own copy). Some fans of the series felt that Joseph played so reliably that he smoothed out the departure of the audience's favorite Robert Sheehan from the project. The character of the actor in the story went to Las Vegas in the hope of using superpowers to get rich.

The character change in the third season went smoothly and successfully, since in parallel with this, due to the plot twist, the characters already familiar to viewers were forced to change the received superpowers to completely different ones and, just like at the beginning of the series, start adapting and getting used to them.

In 2015, the actor appeared in a full-length world blockbuster, albeit in a secondary role. Such a picture for Gilgan was the combat urban fantasy "The Last Witch Hunter", in which Vin Diesel, Rose Leslie and Elijah Wood played the main roles. The film takes place in a world similar to reality, but inhabited by witches, magicians and other fabulous creatures hidden from the eyes of ordinary people.

The main character is a witch hunter who, due to a long-standing curse, is forced to live for eight centuries. During this time, witches and people managed to establish a peace pact, and mystical creatures organically fit into the technological world.

Joseph Gilgun suffers from a variety of complexes that originate in childhood. Due to the fact that the actor considers dyslexia to be a kind of curse, it is very difficult for Gilgan to make contact with strangers. The actor made very few friends during his life, but those who are, Joseph trusts infinitely.

Joseph's relationship with women is similarly difficult. The actor cannot let girls close enough to his soul, so many of the actor's novels end too quickly. Although with partner in the film "This is England" Vicky McClure, Gilgan had a relatively long relationship.

Also, probably due to the aforementioned complexes, the actor is not registered in any social network and does not maintain accounts on Instagram or Twitter, which upsets fans immensely.

The actor is a fan of tattoos. There are many drawings and inscriptions on his body. But each tattoo carries a semantic meaning and characterizes a particular life period of a man.

The mystical series "The Preacher" stands out from the last pictures of the actor. In addition to Joseph, stars Dominic Cooper and Ruth Negga are involved.

The series premiered on May 22, 2016. The first season collected an impressive number of views, so on June 29, 2016, AMC officially announced its decision to extend the series for a second season. The next season, which began broadcasting only in the summer of 2017, also turned out to be loved and in demand by viewers.

On October 27, 2017, fans of this mystical adventure series learned that the third season has received the approval of the TV channel and is scheduled for 2018.

Такую любовь телезрителей «Проповедник» снискал как благодаря звездному составу, так и в некоторой степени скандальному сюжету, опирающемуся на комиксы издательства Vertigo, которое само по себе не так знакомо широким массам. Но это издательство является импринтом гиганта и мастодонта этой области DC Comics.

The main character of the series is a preacher from Texas (Dominic Cooper), who embarks on a perilous journey to find God, and not in the figurative sense, which religious texts often put into these words, but literally and physically. The hero of Joseph Gilgan joins the preacher in this difficult endeavor and becomes the hero's best friend. And friends are not embarrassed that one of them is a priest, and the other is an Irish vampire with a penchant for alcoholism. Naturally, such a plot is filled with black humor, references to religious texts and original points of view on biblical subjects.

Due to the religious ambiguity with which the original comic strip is filled, the series may not have appeared on television at all, as has already happened with previous attempts to adapt this plot in 1998 and 2006.

In parallel with the filming of the television series, the actor played a minor role of Dominic in the crime drama "Undercover Scam", which was released in 2016. This is a film about a specialist in criminal infiltration, who takes on a new case, where the target is a crime syndicate, led by Pablo Escobar himself, the Colombian drug lord and the most dangerous criminal in the world. The film does not claim to be documentary, but the plot is based on some real facts from the biography of the criminal.
