Biografie
A Dublin-born former teacher, left the profession to pursue a career in his first love, acting and joined the Irish theatre company Passion Machine. He landed his first starring role in “I Went Down”, which was followed by his much acclaimed role in John Boorman’s “The General”. His performance gained him awards not only for Best Actor at the 1998 Boston Society of Film Critics Awards and Best Actor at the 1998 ALFS, but also the Best Actor award at the 1999 Irish Film & Television Awards.
Gleeson’s rise to fame began when he appeared in Jim Sheridan’s “The Field”, followed by a number of small roles in such films as “Far and Away” and “Into The West”. He attracted the attention of Hollywood when he starred as Hamish in the film “Braveheart”, alongside Mel Gibson. Other notable screen credits include John Woo’s “Mission: Impossible 2”, Steven Spielberg’s “AI”, John Boorman’s “Tailor of Panama” and “Country of My Skull”, Danny Boyle’s “28 Days Later”, and Martin Scorsese’s “Gangs of New York”.
Over the past few years Gleeson has become a household name after appearing in a number of successful films. His film credits include August Nicholson in M. Night Shyamalan’s “The Village”, “Cold Mountain” directed by Anthony Minghella, Ridley Scott’s “Kingdom of Heaven”, “Breakfast on Pluto” directed by Neil Jordan, Wolfgang Petersen’s “Troy”, “Black Irish” directed by Brad Gann, “Studs” directed by Paul Mercier, “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” directed by Mike Newell, “Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix” directed by David Yates, John Boorman’s “The Tiger’s Tail” and “Beowulf” directed by Robert Zemeckis.
He also appeared in “In Bruges” in 2009, under the direction of Martin McDonagh, alongside Colin Farrell and Ralph Fiennes and was nominated for a Golden Globe and a BAFTA award for his role. His later credits include “Perrier's Bounty”, directed by Ian Fitzgibbon for Parallel Films and “Green Zone”, a Paul Greengrass film with Matt Damon. He also returned in the role of Prof. 'Mad-Eye' Moody in the seventh installment of the Harry Potter series, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1” and he won the Emmy award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries or Movie for his portrayal of Winston Churchill in HBO’s “Into the Storm” directed by Thaddeus O’Sullivan, which garnered fourteen Emmy nominations in total.
