Some actors are not the kind of superstars that everyone can blurt out, but they have a strong sense of existence.
Even if you can't call out his name at once, when you suddenly see his face in a certain play, you will immediately get excited and say: Isn't that who it is!
This kind of actor who has not yet exploded, but is the number one actor in many people's hearts, is definitely a treasure. For example, the treasure actor who recently appeared in the thriller "A Quiet Place 2" - Kirihan Murphy.

Although the movie itself is not a surprise, Douban 6.8 points, but his appearance, there are still surprises.
In fact, I wanted to introduce Murphy for a long time, obviously with a highly recognizable face, but in this movie, I relied on my beard and "hidden" myself, playing Emmett.
As a result, some people "accidentally" discovered that the new character that appeared was played by Kirian Murphy, and they all expressed their surprise.
A good actor is often a drama throwback: let you be driven by his role in the work, rather than only caring about who plays whom, or what position the name is in...
Audiences who like foreign film and television dramas should not ignore his existence, Murphy from Ireland has a very beautiful pair of blue eyes, many people have a memorable glance at this pair of deep eyes like lake water.
Someone could even recognize him with these charming eyes.
Murphy, as an actor, has a lot of labels that people can't help but stay:
Big director Nolan's love, almost becoming Batman, the high-scoring British drama "Blood Gangster" male protagonist Shelby (below)...
His works also include Nolan's "Batman" Dark Knight trilogy, "Inception", "Dunkirk", "Quiet World", "Pluto Breakfast", "Cold Mountain"...
(Playing Robert Fisher in "Inception")
(Nolan played the villain "Scarecrow" in the "Batman" series)
(Playing "Shivering Soldier" in Dunkirk)
High-scoring works occupy almost half of Murphy's current acting career, and his appearance represents a sense of quality.
Because of his appearance in "A Quiet Place 2", he was interviewed by foreign media about the behind-the-scenes of the film, as well as about his other works, including his past when he almost became Nolan's version of "Batman".
(Murphy's high-scoring works are quite a few)
Murphy's appearance in A Quiet Place 2 was a coincidence: he had already seen director John Krasinski's first "A Quiet Place", when he was attracted to the film and wrote a thank-you note to the director, but did not send it to him. As a result, director John later followed up with the British drama "Blood Gangster" starring Murphy, and suddenly found that he was very suitable for the new role of Emmett in the second part, so there was this cooperation.
For his "face change" in the film this time, many people did not recognize him at the first time, Murphy is a little happy.
He thinks it's the highest compliment to him, "Being someone else in the work, that's what I've been trying to do at work, and the actors I've always admired are those who make you question yourself and say, 'Is that the same person?'" 'people. They're the kind of performers I've been trying to emulate, so for me, it's a compliment. ”

Compared to most performers, Murphy admits that he prefers to express himself in nonverbality, "Most film and television performances now are all about close-ups, which is good, but when you have the opportunity to express yourself in nonverbal and body language, it is really a kind of enjoyment and relish." 」 ”
Murphy has always been one of the big director Nolan's key love points, starting with "Batman" and all the way to "Dunkirk", they have been working closely together.
But many people may not know that Murphy almost became the Batman in Nolan's "Batman" Dark Knight trilogy.

In 2003, 18 years ago, Murphy was shortlisted for the "final" of the director Nolan's Batman film "Batman" Bruce Wayne, and he even had the final audition: put on the bat suit.
(Murphy auditioned for "Batman", and compared with the later actor Bell, the temperament is more evil and feminine)
(Bell, who finally became Nolan's version of "Batman", is tall and has a tougher temperament)
But now, when it comes to this, Murphy says he didn't really compete for that role.
Murphy said, "I don't think I almost played Batman. He thought, "The only actor who suited that role at the time was Christian Bell." So, for me, it was just an experience. ”

Although he did not become Batman, Murphy eventually became another impressive character in Batman: The Mystery of The Shadow: Psychology Professor Jonathan Klein, who later became the supervillain "Scarecrow".
Murphy emphasizes, "I always think back fondly to that time, but I never thought of myself as the piece of material that starred bruce Wayne [Batman]. ”
(The villain "Scarecrow", obviously more suitable for Murphy)
Murphy also talked about his close collaboration with director Nolan, mentioning how he felt during the war film Dunkirk, in which he starred as a soldier without a specific name: Shivering Soldie, the first person the Moonstone saved after going to sea.
Despite the character's small number of roles, Murphy sees it as a "very responsible character", representing the part of the people who were severely psychologically affected by the war and destroyed by PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder), "so I felt that I had to interpret the role in the most authentic way possible." ”
Murphy said that his long-term cooperation with Nolan has been very pleasant, "You have always been in the hands of this director, he is one of the greatest directors in the world." ”
(In Dunkirk, Murphy starred as "The Trembling Soldier")
Many people first knew Murphy because of Nolan's films, but they liked him more deeply because of "Blood Gangs."
Murphy starred in Blood Gangster as tomy Shelby, a story based on the Gangster Razor, who played a fierce character with a high IQ and iron wrist.
From the first season in 2013 to the fifth season in 2019, this high-scoring British drama has been stable at more than 9 points, which is a divine drama in the minds of many people. Not only is the plot attractive, the British retro style of the "suit thug" led by "Shelby" in the play is also very deeply rooted in the hearts of the audience.
Affected by the epidemic, the filming of the sixth (and final) season of "Blood Gangsters" was also delayed by 10 months, and the success of the show also made Murphy the world-famous "Shelby".
Although the temperament is not particularly suitable for playing Batman, the "Shelby" that Murphy later encountered is too suitable for him.
It is worth mentioning that he and the now popular "Soup Old Wet" Tom Hardy also have a lot of intersection, and the same Nolan's love general has also starred in "Blood Gangster".
So, Kirihan Murphy, remember his name, a treasure actor who is both good and evil.
In the future, who knows if he will be more red?
