Irish Actors You Should Know: Domhnall Gleeson

Back in 2013 I wrote a post about the next generation of actors from across the pond and suggested that a certain Irish actor’s star was on the rise.  And boy, was I right! Over the past few years young Domhnall Gleeson, son of acclaimed actor Brendan Gleeson, has been winning roles left, right and center.

In fact, he’s featured in the cast of two films released just last month - Mother!, a horror/thriller starring Jennifer Lawrence and American Made, an action-comedy with Tom Cruise. The rest of the year promises to be even busier, as he will reprise his role as the ruthless General Hux in latest Star Wars film, The Last Jedi, and star in love triangle comedy Crash Pad with Christina Applegate and Thomas Haden Church.

But what I’m most looking forward to is Goodbye Christopher Robin, in which Gleeson portrays Winnie-the-Pooh creator, A.A. Milne.
