Meet Cillian Murphy, deejay extraordinaire

Perhaps you are just as big a fan of Cillian Murphy as I am. The Irish actor is as highly talented as he is versatile. His recent performance as J. Robert Oppenheimer in Christopher Nolan's biopic on the physicist who led the development of the atomic bomb during World War II is stunning.

In the role of the complex and controversial physicist, who later regretted his part in creating one of the world's most devastating weapons, Murphy captures brilliantly the transformation of an ambitious and highly intelligent scientist to a remorseful, haunted man accused of treason.

Or you might have been captivated by him in the Netflix series Peaky Blinders, in which he plays Tommy Shelby, the ruthless but charismatic leader of a post World War I Birmingham underworld gang. Murphy is an anti-hero in that sprawling but highly addictive series.

You may have also seen him in Incentive, a film in which he plays the heir ofa powerful corporation and is the target of dream thieves led by Leonardo DiCaprio. You might even have been lucky enough to have caught him in one of his early roles in the film, Breakfast On Pluto, in which he plays a transgender person growing up in a conservative Irish town in the 1970s.
