Tom Murphy est un Acteur né le 15 janvier 1968 à Harare
Tom Jordan Murphy (15 January 1968 – 6 October 2007) was an Irish theatre and film actor best known for his 1998 Tony Award winning performance in The Beauty Queen of Leenane.
In 1996, Murphy created the role of Ray Dooley in The Beauty Queen of Leenane. This production started life at the Town Hall Theatre, Galway, directed by Garry Hynes and presented in association with the Druid Theatre Company. It also played at Dublin's Gaiety Theatre and in London's West End. In 1998, the play transferred to off-Broadway and later made its Broadway debut at the Walter Kerr Theater. Nominated for six Tony Awards in total, the production won four including the Best Featured Actor in a Play award for Murphy. New York Times theater critic, Ben Brantley, praised Murphy for his role in the play at the time, "Mr. Murphy offers comic relief without ever presenting it as such...His, more than any other character, must embody the provincial society beyond the women's home, and Ray's irritable restlessness is eloquent on the subject".
Murphy made his professional acting debut playing the Artful Dodger in Noel Pearson's production of Oliver! in 1980 aged 12. During his career he performed in theatres all over Ireland and the UK including the Abbey Theatre, the Gate Theatre and Royal Court Theatre in London (in Shining City by Conor McPherson). Murphy made his feature film breakthrough with 2004's Adam & Paul, co-starring (and written by) Mark O'Halloran, in which he played a Dublin drug addict and junkie. Variety Magazine, which reviewed the movie, wrote that Murphy's performance "steals the show."
Murphy also appeared in a number of other Irish films, including Intermission, Michael Collins, The General and Man About Dog. He also played the part of Seamie in the popular RTÉ television drama series Pure Mule.

Rôle Paul
Note70%
Adam and Paul are childhood friends who as adults have withered into two hopeless, desperate addicts, tied together by habit and necessity. The film is a stylised, downbeat comedy, following the pair through a single day, which, like every other, is devoted to scrounging and robbing money to buy heroin.

Le Général retrace la vie et la mort de Martin Cahill. Surnommé le Général, il grandit dans les cités pauvres de Dublin et finit dans le grand banditisme. Il devint une légende par son arrogance vis-à-vis de l'autorité, son plaisir à ridiculiser l'Église et les institutions et par le mélange explosif de violence, d'humour et de générosité qui le caractérisait.
