From In Bruges to The Banshees of Inisherin, Academy Award nominee Brendan Gleeson has starred in many iconic movies.
The critical and financial success of Martin McDonagh's 2022 dark comedy The Banshees of Inisherin shed a spotlight on Colin Farrell's unsung dramatic chops. The film also served as a breakout for the rising star Barry Keoghan in one of his most mature roles ever. However, among the quirky Irish tale's greatest achievements was proving Brendan Gleeson's talents have gone unrecognized within the industry for far too long.
9 'Troy' Adapting the Iliad was no easy task, but director Wolfgang Petersen managed to at least hit the notable plot points of the iconic Greek epic poem in his 2004 historical action film Troy. The plot removes the mythological aspect of Homer's work, presenting a more sobering and grounded take on the Trojan War. Brad Pitt stars as Achilles opposite Eric Bana as Hector, Orlando Bloom as Paris, and Diane Kruger as Helen.
7 'Cold Mountain' Gleeson gives one of his most tragic performances in the 2003 Civil War epic Cold Mountain. The plot centers on the tragic romance between Inman , a wounded deserter of the Confederate Army, and Ada , the wife he left behind to single-handedly keep their farm afloat. Gleeson appears as Stobrod Thewes, a soldier who helps nurse Inman back to life after a particularly grueling battle.
5 'Paddington 2' Paddington 2 is a movie that feels like a warm hug. The 2018 sequel proved that Ben Whishaw's kind-hearted bear could bring a touch of lightness to virtually any situation or character. The plot centers on Paddington as he finds himself on an epic journey that leads him to jail, where he is able to inspire goodness within the inmates, including the grumpy chef Knuckles McGinty .
