'''Cillian Murphy''' is an Irish actor known mostly for three things. First, his chameleon-like ability to adapt to a wide variety of roles and seem to inhabit them. Second, his amazingly [[Blue Eyes]], and third, being extremely pretty. He was born on May 25, 1976 and started his career in entertainment as a rock musician. Cillian is a rather private fellow, and he does not normally discuss his personal life in interviews.

* [[Attractive Bent Gender]]: When he plays the transgender Kitten in ''[[Breakfast On Pluto]]'', he isn't exactly unattractive. [https://web.archive.org/web/20130501140608/http://www.moviecritic.com.au/images/cillian-murphy-as-kitten-in-breakfast-on-pluto-dra1.jpg At all.] The same goes for his role in ''Peacock''.
* [[Awesome, Dear Boy]]: His stated reasons for doing [[Batman Begins]] include a desire "to be near the Batmobile" and he did his ''[[Tron: Legacy]]'' cameo because he was a huge fan of the original as a kid.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Reportedly, mispronouncing his first name.
Line 33 ⟶ 35:
* [[Even the Guys Want Him]]: Notable example being when the director of ''[[The Dark Knight Saga|Batman Begins]]'' tried to find excuses for him to [[The Glasses Gotta Go|take off his glasses]] so there could be more screentime for his baby blues.
** From the ostensibly straight reviewer at [http://www.ruthlessreviews.com/1798/batman-begins/ Ruthless Reviews]:

** The author of Cracked.com's 2006 [http://www.cracked.com/article_15036_crackeds-oscar-rundown-part-one.html oscars][http://www.cracked.com/article_15037_crackeds-oscar-rundown-part-two.html rundown] thought that he should have won best actress for the following reason:
{{quote|
* [[Fake American]]: In quite a few of his roles. He does the accent very well, especially considering how notoriously hard the Irish Accent is to shed.
* [[Hot Dad]]: Although his kids are still rather young.
* [[Hypnotic Eyes]]: People who have made eye contact with him have described it as equivalent to having one's soul frozen in a block of ice.
* [[No Pronunciation Guide]]: His name is pronounced Killian. People more familiar with [[American English]] frequently think it's Sillian. Or Chillian.
* [[Older Than They Look]]: He's ''35'' and a [[Hot Dad|father]] to boot, but he still looks in his twenties.
* [[Pretty Boy]]
* [[Slasher Smile]]: He is very striking when he smiles.
* [[Typecasting]]: After ''[[Batman Begins]]'' and ''[[Red Eye (film)|Red Eye]]'', he became best-known for being an incredibly creepy villain. He's sworn off playing villains again, though, which is really quite tragic.
** Jury's still out on ''[[Tron: Legacy]]''. We don't know if Ed Dillinger Jr. is going to be a case of [[Generation Xerox]], an [[Unwitting Pawn]], or a [[Wild Card]].
*** Though a [[Generation Xerox]] would place him under [[The Rival]] with a side of [[Jerkass]], since [[Fandom
* [[Unkempt Beauty]]
* [[Vocal Dissonance]]: His deep voice doesn't suit his gentle, almost androgynous features.
