He definitely has the ability to be remembered as one of the most celebrated performers of all time, having already established an impressive resume comprising of his association with either prominent stars or popular filmmakers.
Hailed from Ireland, Colin was born in Castleknock, Dublin, on May 31, 1976, to Eamon and Rita Farrell, and grew up as a very defiant young man who had been found shoplifting, smoking joints, speeding beyond the limit as well. His pal, Eamon Farrell, Jr., then convinced this dark-haired man to take an acting class, a blandishment that served effectively on him later, seeking to make him something worthwhile to do in life. Colin accompanied his sister, Catherine, to attend The Gaiety School of Acting in 1996 soon after he discovered a curiosity in performing, but rapidly gave up his studies as he could not bear being downgraded by the teaching staff. He said I didn’t believe I should have to spend 2,500 and take a year out of my life to be notified that I was crap.
With just a few acting experiences he had compiled in “Drinking Crude” (1997) and “Falling For a Dancer” (1998) via small parts, Colin unexpectedly found his way to gain a significant role in 1998 in the successful Irish sitcom, Ballykissangel (1996-2001). Afterwards, he effectively joined Tilda Swinton and Ray Winstone to film The War Zone of Tim Roth (1999), followed by another favorable Ordinary Decent Criminal (2000) project with Kevin Spacey plus Linda Fiorentino. This earned him a great deal of faith in auditioning for a role in the U.S. production directed by Joel Schumacher, Tigerland (2000), in which he was ultimately cast to play Pvt. Roland Bozz. Roland Bozz While it was critically praised that this war film did not get a big release, it undeniably introduced him to broader recognition abroad while also paving his path to Hollywood.
