In 1998, Cillian Murphy made his film debut in the movie, The Tale of Sweety Barrett. From here he followed up his acting work with appearances in films such as Sunburn, The Trench, and Disco Pigs.
To begin with, his on-screen roles were small parts, in lesser-known movies, but soon Murphy’s star began to rise. Roles in Danny Boyle’s 28 Days Later and Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins became important to his career, and these parts helped to increase his presence on the big screen.
During the ‘00s, other key roles soon followed, including Red Eye, The Wind That Shakes the Barley, and another Danny Boyle film, Sunshine. Moving into the 2010s, Murphy re-teamed with director Christopher Nolan for Inception, The Dark Knight, and The Dark Knight Rises, and appeared in films such as Red Lights and Transcendence.
