BIO

Immensely talented Irish character actor who honed his craft on the stage before transitioning to film at the age of 35. His breakout role came as Hamish in Mel Gibson's Braveheart in 1995, after which Gleeson embarked on a prolific career, alternating between high-profile and indie productions. He played "Mad-Eye" Moody in the Harry Potter series and has been a favourite of Irish independent filmmaker Martin McDonagh, with his intensity and physical presence befitting McDonagh's dark themes in films such as In Bruges and The Banshees of Inisherin.
