Colin James Farrell (born 31 May 1976) is an Irish film actor. He appeared on the BBC’s Ballykissangel in 1998, made his film debut in the Tim Roth-directed The War Zone a year later and was discovered by Joel Schumacher for Tigerland (2000). Farrell then starred in Schumacher’s Phone Booth (2002) and the American thrillers S.W.A.T. and The Recruit (both 2003), establishing his international box-office appeal.
During that time, he also appeared in Steven Spielberg’s Minority Report (2002) and as the villain in Daredevil (2003). After starring in the independent films Intermission (2003) and A Home at the End of the World (2004) he headed Oliver Stone’s biopic Alexander (2004) and the Terrence Malick Pocahontas movie, The New World (2005).
A favourite with film critics such as Roger Ebert, Peter Bradshaw and Manohla Dargis, during the 2000s Farrell developed a reputation as a lothario and dated a number of women (including Angelina Jolie and former Playboy playmate Nicole Narain). He was named one of People magazine’s “50 Most Beautiful People” in 2003. Farrell has two sons: one with model Kim Bordenave and another with his Ondine costar, Alicja Bachleda-Curuś.
