Cillian Murphy's first experiences on the stage were with a guitar by his side, playing in a rock band alongside his brother. At age 19, he began following another of his passions: acting. Whether playing a survivor of a zombie apocalypse in 28 Days Later back in 2002 or the swaggering leader of a Birmingham criminal gang in drama series Peaky Blinders, Murphy leaves a mark in the minds of audiences by approaching each new role with audacity and creativity.
