Colin James Farrell (born May 31, 1976) is an
Republic of Ireland|Irish actor born in
Castleknock, Dublin.

Colin Farrell attended The Gaiety School of
Acting, but dropped out and snagged the part of
Danny Bryne on Ballykissangel, a  popular BBC
television drama set in Ireland. It ran from 1996
till 2001 with Colin's part running from 1998 to
1999.

Before that, he then had a number of small roles
in various Television|TV shows and movies till he
played the part of Private Roland Bozz in
Tigerland in 2000. Since then he has been one of
Ireland's rising stars in Hollywood, acting
alongside some of Hollywood's finest including
Bruce Willis in Hart's War, Tom Cruise in Minority
Report (movie)|Minority Report, Al Pacino in The
Recruit and Samuel L. Jackson in S.W.A.T.
(movie)|S.W.A.T..

Farrell was marriage|married to Amelia Warner from
July to November 2001. He had a son, James (born
September 12, 2003), with his now ex-girlfriend,
Kim Bordenave.

Al Pacino, his original acting idol, has described
Colin as the greatest actor of his generation.
Farrell is known for his lighthearted approach to
living, and was apparently smoking six packs of
cigarettes a day during the filming of Phone Booth
(movie)|Phone Booth in 2002.

In 2004 audiences at screening of the film A Home
at the End of the World were alleged by press to
have been visibly distracted (with audible gasps)
due to a brief frontal nude scene by Farrell
during which he walked naked down a hallway. Film
producers claimed to have deleted this scene due
to the threat that it might distract viewers from
the real content of the film. Farrell responded
saying it was ridiculous and when asked if the cut
scene might be included in a DVD release
responded: "That would really make me put me fists
up. What would it be? Deleted scene: cock?"
Eventually the removed clip leaked to the internet
and showed Farrell to be modestly endowed at best,
causing speculation that the entire incident was
little more than a publicity stunt.

== Current News ==

Farrell is currently involved in a legal dispute
with another former girlfriend, Playmate|Playboy
Playmate Nicole Narain. He is suing over the
rights of a sex tape they made over two years ago
which he claims he understood as being "strictly

Los Angeles has issued a temporary restraining
order to prevent David Hans Schmidt from selling,
distributing or showing the tape to anyone. Nicole
Narain has now reportedly claimed that she did not
leak the tape and that she will work with Farrell
to ensure that it remains private.
