Brendan Gleeson is an icon. Truly one of the most delectable and intelligent actors out there, his works across the years are testament to his, above all else, moving talents. He can weave naturalistic humour into humanistic drama and round his characters off with compassion or intensity dependent on what side of the villain line they fall. Not only has he been the face of beloved franchise characters such as Mad Eye Moody but he has been a regular in thoughtful dramas and black comedies such as the genius In Bruges. Especially drama coming from the emerald isles. Now with his latest film, The Grand Seduction, hitting cinemas today, let's have a look at one of his defining (or divining) roles in John Michael McDonaghs Calvary.
