Colin Farrell Biography

Birth Name: Colin James Farrell
Birth Place: Castleknock, Dublin, Ireland
Date of Birth / Zodiac Sign: 05/31/1976, Gemini
Profession: Actor

A sexy Irish actor with impeccably plucked eyebrows, Farrell has cultivated a bad-boy image ever since arriving in Hollywood. Well known in his homeland for his two-year stint on the TV series Ballykissangel, he made his first big impression stateside as a rebellious military recruit in the war movie Tigerland in 2000. A fine supporting part as a cop in 2002's Minority Report raised his profile, and suddenly Farrell was everywhere. He worked consistently (if seemingly indiscriminately), taking roles in a succession of bloated action films (S.W.A.T., The Recruit, the laughable historical epic Alexander). Yet he became increasingly famous, perhaps because of his fascinating off-screen antics, including a string of romances with models (one of which resulted in a sex-tape scandal), his profanity-laced interviews, and a 2005 stint in rehab to treat exhaustion and dependency on prescription medication. But Farrell proved he was indeed capable of nuanced work, such as his lovely performance as a small-town boy caught in a love triangle in 2004's A Home at the End of the World.
Colin Farrell Fast Facts:

His father was a professional Irish footballer.
Auditioned but was turned down for the Irish band Boyzone in 1993.
Played an autistic teen in In a Little World of Our on the London stage. Kevin Spacey caught his performance and recommended him for a role in his upcoming film, Ordinary Decent Criminals (2000).
Breakout feature-film role came courtesy of director Joel Schumacher, who cast him in 2000's Tigerland as a rebellious Army recruit. The two worked together again in Phone Booth (2002).
Took over a number of roles originally intended for other actors, all in 2002: Minority Report (for Matt Damon), Hart's War (for Edward Norton) and Phone Booth (for Jim Carrey).
Reportedly had a fling with Britney Spears in 2003.
