- Though neither American nor a teenager, Barry Keoghan wowed audiences with his terrifying portrait of Martin - an Ohio teen exacting a cruel revenge on heart surgeon Colin Farrell - in the Yorgos Lanthimos masterpiece, The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017). Born in Summerhill, Dublin and raised by his grandmother from age nine, Keoghan was bitten by the performing bug when he enrolled at The Factory, a fledgling drama school designed to nurture talent in the arenas of television and film. Tailgating brief stints on a pair of Dublin-set drama serials - Fair City (1989), Love/Hate (2010) - and meatier roles in small-scale pics such as '71 (2014), Mammal (2016), and Trespass Against Us (2016) - Keoghan shot to international esteem with his consecutive roles in 'Sacred Deer' and the Christopher Nolan war epic Dunkirk (2017); a winning streak that continued with his equivocal cameo in megabudget super-noir The Batman (2022), Martin McDonagh's The Banshees of Inisherin (2022) - where he was Oscar-nominated for his poignant work as the vulnerable Dominic - and cultural firecracker Saltburn (2023), which brought him Golden Globe and BAFTA nods. Outside his acting career, Keoghan is an accomplished amateur boxer and a brand ambassador for Burberry.- IMDb mini biography by: don@minifie-1 and R.N.

- Born and raised in Dublin, Ireland.
- Heroin came into Dublin, and it caught every family. My mother was one of the unlucky ones. She got caught on it, then she passed away... [He was subsequently raised by his grandmother.] She's a tough one... I'll come home off a film set where I'm getting pampered, and I'll get a slap in the head if I don't make my bed. That's what I love about her.
