Colin James Farrell (born 31 May 1976)〔 is an Irish actor. He first appeared on the BBC's TV drama ''Ballykissangel'' in 1998, made his film debut in the Tim Roth-directed drama ''The War Zone'' a year later and was discovered by Hollywood when Joel Schumacher cast him in the lead in his war drama ''Tigerland'' (2000). He then starred in Schumacher's psychological thriller ''Phone Booth'' (2002) and the American thrillers ''S.W.A.T.'' and ''The Recruit'' (both 2003), establishing his international box-office appeal. During that time, he also appeared in Steven Spielberg’s science fiction thriller ''Minority Report'' (2002) and as the villain Bullseye in the ''Daredevil'' superhero film (2003). After starring in the independent films ''Intermission'' (2003) and ''A Home at the End of the World'' (2004) he headed Oliver Stone’s biopic ''Alexander'' (2004) and the Terrence Malick's ''The New World'' (2005). Work in Michael Mann’s ''Miami Vice,'' the adaptation of John Fante's ''Ask the Dust'' (both 2006) and Woody Allen’s ''Cassandra's Dream'' (2007) followed, underscoring Farrell's popularity among Hollywood writers and directors; however, it was for his role in Martin McDonagh’s ''In Bruges'' (2008) that he received a Golden Globe Award. In recent years, he co-starred in the comedy-horror film ''Fright Night'' (2011) and the sci-fi action film ''Total Recall'' (2012), both remakes, and McDonagh's second feature, the black comedy crime film ''Seven Psychopaths'' (2012). Farrell also starred with Noomi Rapace in the Niels Arden Oplev-directed action film ''Dead Man Down'', and as Travers Goff in the period drama ''Saving Mr. Banks'' (both in 2013) about the author of ''Mary Poppins''. In 2014, Farrell starred as Peter Lake in the supernatural fable ''Winter's Tale'' (2014), an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Mark Helprin. In 2015, he starred as Detective Ray Velcoro in the second season of HBO's ''True Detective'', alongside Vince Vaughn and Rachel McAdams. A favourite with film critics like Peter Bradshaw, Manohla Dargis and Roger Ebert in the 2000s, Farrell developed a reputation as a lothario and dated numerous famous women for a time. ==Early life== Farrell was born in Dublin, Ireland, the son of Rita (née Monaghan) and Eamon Farrell. His father played football for Shamrock Rovers and ran a health-food shop.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Colin Farrell Biography (1976–) )〕 His uncle, Tommy Farrell, also played for Shamrock Rovers. The actor has an openly gay older brother, Eamon, Jr., who is married to artist Stephen Mannion, and two sisters, Claudine and Catherine; Claudine, his older sister, is his personal assistant.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=COLIN FARRELL SHOWS HIS BROTHERLY LOVE AT "VICE" PREMIERE )〕〔 When Farrell was ten, his family moved to Castleknock, a Dublin suburb.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Colin Farrell )〕 He was educated at St. Brigid's National School, followed by secondary school at Castleknock College and then Gormanston College in County Meath. Farrell unsuccessfully auditioned for the Irish musical group Boyzone around this time.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= Movie Idols: We look at the exploding film career of Colin Farrell )〕 He was inspired to try acting when ''E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial'' moved him to tears. With his brother's encouragement he attended the Gaiety School of Acting, dropping out when he was cast as Danny Byrne on ''Ballykissangel'', a BBC television drama about a young English priest who becomes part of an Irish rural community.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ballykissangel )〕 As an 18-year-old travelling in Sydney, Australia he was at one time suspected for attempted murder. The police sketch admittedly looked remarkably like him and he had even described blacking out the night in question. His only alibi was apparently a journal kept by his friend that explained the two had been across town that night ingesting MDMA. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Colin Farrell」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
