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.
Line 8:
A sampling of the films he has been in:
* ''Disco Pigs''
* ''[[Twenty Eight28 Days Later]]''
* ''[[Intermission (Filmfilm)|Intermission]]''
* ''[[Girl Withwith a Pearl Earring]]'' (He was cast as a butcher, which is quite ironic, because he's a vegetarian)
* ''The Way We Live Now''
* ''[[The Dark Knight Saga|Batman Begins]]'' (With a cameo appearance in ''The Dark Knight'')
* ''[[Red Eye (Filmfilm)|Red Eye]]''
* ''[[Breakfast On Pluto]]''
* ''[[The Wind That Shakes the Barley]]''
* ''[[Sunshine (Filmfilm)|Sunshine]]''
* ''[[Perriers Bounty]]''
* ''[[Peacock]]''
* ''[[Inception]]''
* ''Watching The Detectives''
* ''[[Tron Legacy (Film)|Tron: Legacy]]'' (uncredited cameo)
* ''[[In Time]]''
----
=== He provides examples of: ===
* [[Attractive Bent Gender]]: When he plays the transgender Kitten in ''[[Breakfast On Pluto]]'', he isn't exactly unattractive. [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 (Film)|Tron: Legacy]]'' cameo because he was a huge fan of the original as a kid.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Reportedly, mispronouncing his first name.
** Specifically, [[Its Pronounced Tropay|it's pronounced with a hard C]], as in "Killian."
* [[Doing It for Thethe Art]]: He has said this is the only reason he does many of his films and he almost never does it for Money.
* [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]]
* [[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.
Line 43:
* [[Pretty Boy]]
* [[Slasher Smile]]: He is very striking when he smiles.
* [[Typecasting]]: After ''[[Batman Begins]]'' and ''[[Red Eye (Filmfilm)|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 (Film)|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 Specific Plot|(despite what fanon says)]] Dillinger Sr. wasn't the villain in the original. He was just a thieving jerk.
* [[Unkempt Beauty]]
