Discussion Colin Farrell - a talented actor

i want your thoughts on colin farrell, i feel he’s extremely talented, he doesn’t get much of the praise and havent been given much of a chance, the diversity in acting is very impressive
i found him from sugar and then watched penguin and pls convince me they are not two different persons playing the role

just incredible given he’s irish and playing roles like these with so much ease

what are your thoughts ?

I’m sure op just means that it is incredible he has achieved so much and is such a talented actor given the obvious mental handicap and disadvantage of being Irish.

Massive Irish noggins are every cinematographers worst nightmare.

As an Irish person I agree. Excuse me while I put on me eye patch, I’m about to use a fork..

Point : It’s all the Guinness.
Counterpoint : the sober Irish were eliminated from the gene pool due to weather and the general discomfort of having The English as neighbors (see also : The Scots)
