Barry Keoghan’s Zoom display name is “Barry Wolf.” In Irish, keoghan means “wolf cub,” and he and his girlfriend thought of naming their newborn son Wolf. They went with Brando instead, which is doubly fitting, as the kid’s namesake famously studied animal movements when preparing for roles.
Keoghan’s own animal magnetism is present onscreen, if only because his physicality is so refreshingly untamed. In The Banshees of Inisherin, he plays Dominic Kearney, a hapless simpleton whose constant fidgeting signals unease. But the soulfulness in Keoghan’s performance ensures that he is more than the village idiot for which others take him to be. “He’s trying to hide,” says Keoghan. “He’s always trying to cover and not show too much of himself.”
Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson may be the leads of Banshees, but Keoghan, 30, is its stealth heart.
