Gabriel Byrne
FILMOGRAPHY (ONLY REVIEWED ENTRIES)
Few bios of this talented Irishman have been written without using the word brooding, although he doesn't quite like it himself. It is hard, however, to overlook the mysterious and somewhat sinister presence Byrne brings to his work. Above all, Byrne has been highly selective with his choices, and he didn't even venture to America, let alone Hollywood, until his late thirties. My first encounter with him was in his aristocratic portrayal of Professor Friedrich Baer, Winona Ryder's love interest in Little Women, and ever since, I've been struck by the sophisticated and, yes, brooding quality he brings to his performances. Byrne was memorable in the Coen brothers' brilliant Miller's Crossing (1990) and Bryan Singer's major success The Usual Suspects (1995).
