Colin Farrell: filmography, photo. Films featuring Colin Farrell

A charismatic rebel and one of the most beautiful people on Earth (according to People magazine), Colin Farrell has gone through a difficult journey from a troubled teenager to a famous Hollywood actor.

The rebellious youth of the actor

Farrell was born in Ireland. My father professionally played football, my mother was a housewife and brought up four children. In the footsteps of the parent, Colin did not go. He did not like to study at all and preferred to skip school classes for a more fun pastime. With friends, he hung in bars and indulged in marijuana. This behavior led to a logical end - Farrell fought with a teacher and was expelled from school. He did not despair, but went as far as possible from Ireland - to Australia.

Right choice

A year later, I had to return home after all. The obstinate Colin made the most correct choice in his life - he agreed to his brother's offer to learn acting. However, the period of obedience did not last long. Strongly unwilling to learn, Colin Farrell (photo with him of this period can be seen below) left acting school. But in the movie he still hit. In 1996, he made his debut in the film "The disappearance of Finbar." What to say? Actor was unlucky, like many of his colleagues, to declare himself immediately to the whole world. The first role was so small that it did not even appear in the credits.

Happy meeting

Having worked some time in the advertising business, Colin Farrell takes part in the theatrical production. And here he was waiting for a fateful meeting. Kevin Spacey noticed the beginning actor and drew the attention of the producers of his film to him, deciding that he was talented enough.

In 1999, Colin Farrell took part in the shooting of the film "Zone of military operations." This is the first serious role of the actor in the cinema, although he did not become a breakthrough for him.

In 2000, he was invited to the role of bandit Alec in the picture of Kevin Spacey "Ordinary criminal", but here he was set for failure - the film failed miserably at the box office.

At the same time, he was shot at home in the television series, and the following pictures with his participation - "The Land of Tigers" and "American Heroes" bring the actor the long-awaited recognition of critics and several awards. After that, Colin Farrell, films with which he began to enjoy increasing success with the audience, began his ascent to world fame. The following roles proved his undoubted talent.

Colin Farrell: Filmography

2002 is the time of the beginning of a successful career for an artist. He is shot immediately in two scenes, highly praised by critics - "Special Opinion" by Steven Spielberg and "Phone booth" by Schumacher.

Oliver Stone, the director of the film, invested in his creation a huge amount at that time and invited to take part in it the best actors of Hollywood. The composition of "Alexander" was, without exaggeration, a star.

But the audience went to a historical film, full of what they thought were battles and battles, and Stone offered them a deeply psychological tape about the life and soulful throwings of the young king. The battle scenes in the film also proved to be negligible-the famous Battle of Gaugamela with Darius and the battle with the Indian army on the Gidasp River. Neither the critics nor the audience appreciated the drama of Tsar Alexander. The American hire has brought only 34 million dollars. It was a deafening failure of the film. Viewers of other countries appreciated the picture more favorably, and the costs of it hardly paid off. And Colin Farrell, whose filmography was replenished with another famous ribbon, began shooting in the next historical film - "The New World".
