Cillian Murphy has proven himself to be one of Ireland’s – and the world’s – most talented and multifaceted actors. Over the past 20 years, Murphy has embodied some iconic roles, not the least of which is Peaky Blinders’ Tommy Shelby. In a recent podcast interview, the actor discussed his experience making the show and the potential for a reprise on the big screen.On his appearance on The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast, Murphy talked about his career: first in music, then theater, and finally movies and TV. In his early days as an actor, after working in theater for some time, Murphy appeared in films like 28 Days Later (2002) – a modern sci-fi classic about a global zombie infection. Just a few years after that, the Irish actor collaborated for the first time with Christopher Nolan on Batman Begins (2005). He went on to appear in every film of Nolan’s Batman trilogy as Dr. Crane/Scarecrow – one of only five actors, including Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, and Morgan Freeman. In fact, at the start of Murphy’s audition process for Batman Begins, Nolan called him in to read for the role of Bruce Wayne, which eventually went to Christian Bale.Aside from an impressive film career, Murphy also played the main role in one of the best TV shows in recent memory, Peaky Blinders. He plays Thomas Shelby, a decorated veteran from World War I who now leads a group of Birmingham gangsters. When he first took on the role, television did not have the same prestige as film did for actors, as it was often seen as more superficial.
