When I got the job to shoot Cilian Murphy I immediately looked forward to photographing a good actor.  It was only when I did a little research I realized how brilliant an actor he actually is.

"Inception", "Batman Begins", "Cold Mountain", "28 Days Later" just to mention a few of his many achievements.  

But this Irish guy was far from cocky and full of himself.  He was both quiet and modest with a healthy dose of Irish charm.

He is now performing on stage at The National Theatre.  A play I believe has made him wear a modest beard - A look I think becomes him.
