Cillian Murphy says he almost emailed John Krasinski just right after watching A Quiet Place — but “Chickened out,” worried it would look like he was lobbying for a role. “I wrote this email to John saying how much I enjoyed the film… then I chickened out and never sent it. I was like, ‘He’s a busy man. He doesn’t need to hear from some actor.’” A year later, while writing A Quiet Place Part II, Krasinski and Emily Blunt were binge watching Peaky Blinders and thought Murphy would be perfect. “Oh my God, I’ve got to call Cillian Murphy. I’ve got to ask if he’ll do this.” When Krasinski called him for the sequel, Murphy finally told him about the unsent email.

Cillian Murphy salió del cine tan impresionado con ‘A Quiet Place’ (2018) que redactó un correo efusivo felicitando a John Krasinski. Lo dejó escrito y nunca lo envió. Pensó: “Va a parecer que le estoy pidiendo trabajo”. Un año más tarde, mientras Krasinski y Emily Blunt devoraban episodios de ‘Peaky Blinders’, se miraron y dijeron: “Este es nuestro hombre”. La mirada y la presencia de Murphy como Tommy Shelby encajaban a la perfección con el personaje de Emmett para la secuela: ‘A Quiet Place II’. Krasinski lo llamó para ofrecerle el rol y, en esa misma conversación, Murphy terminó confesándole lo del famoso correo fantasma. Murphy después dijo: “El destino a veces no necesita que envíes nada, te viene a buscar”.

Peaky Blinders almost had a very different lead. Series creator Steven Knight originally wanted Jason Statham to play Tommy Shelby, feeling Cillian Murphy didn’t look physically tough enough for the role. Murphy sent him a simple message: “Remember, I’m an actor.” That confidence changed everything and his performance went on to define the series.

In A Quiet Place, John Krasinski said no one could make eye contact with Emily Blunt after she nailed the bathtub scene in just one take. “She changed the air in the room. It felt like you were witnessing a moment you shouldn’t be witnessing.” “Only one crew member spoke afterward and said, ‘I don’t think we were supposed to watch that. None of us should have been there.’” Emily Blunt later said Krasinski thought it would take five days to shoot the scene and Blunt simply did it one take and then said: “What’s for lunch?”

In A Quiet Place, John Krasinski wanted a truly brutal opening and didn’t like original plan, which had the little kid’s death as a flashback with dialogue. Producers wanted it that way, but Krasinski was adamant: keep it in the present to preserve the story’s urgent tension.

John Krasinski says he actually had his eye on Emily Blunt's co-star Anne Hathaway while watching The Devil Wears Prada (2006) before settling for Emily Blunt. "I couldn't get Annie, so I was like, 'Oh...'" Blunt immediately responded with a laugh, "That's why you're with me!" Jokes aside, Krasinski actually fell in love with Blunt after watching her in The Devil Wears Prada, admitting, he roughly watched the film 75 times out of pure admiration for Emily Blunt before they even met. "I was full stalker status. I was just like, 'Hey, you want to go on a date with me?'" He also recalled Blunt catching him watching the film: "She was like, 'Were you just watching The Devil Wears Prada?' and I went, 'No, I was just looking at your outfits!'"

In A Quiet Place (2018), John Krasinski insisted on showing the rule rather than explaining it through dialogue. The studio resisted the severity of the opening, but he held firm. One small sound leads to an immediate consequence, and the film never needs to spell it out again.

Do you know what a lens is? 'Cause I don't!'” John replied, “I think I do.” “Then on day one, he was coming up with these extraordinary shots... it was like discovering he had a superpower I never knew about.”

John Landis was offended by an article he read about Jewish comics in blackface at the time of making "Coming to America" (1988) & he thought it was really ignorant. So, he called Eddie Murphy & told him that he has to play the role of an old Jew in the movie. At first, Murphy couldn't believe it, but was willing to give it a go. After putting on the make up of an old Jewish man designed by Rick Baker, Murphy walked around the Paramount offices flirting with secretaries and telling everyone, "Hi, I am Eddie Murphy". No one recognised or believed him. One old lady was really convinced that he was an old man & gave him her phone number. After that he was confident that he could play the role convincingly. (John Landis' interview with Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub, Collider, 2005, "Eddie Murphy & Arsenio Hall on Friendship & Coming 2 America", Jimmy Kimmel Live, 2021 & IMDb)

$Peaky Blinders is anchored by one of television's most commanding performances. And that power comes almost entirely from Cillian Murphy as Thomas Shelby. Murphy plays Tommy with restraint and precision, letting silence, posture, and a distant stare do as much work as dialogue. From the way he walks into a room to the calm menace in his voice, you instantly understand who holds control. What makes the performance unforgettable is how deeply human it remains beneath the steel exterior. Murphy reveals Tommy's trauma slowly, through fractured moments of vulnerability, sleepless nights, and flashes of guilt that never fully surface. He turns a crime boss into a tragic figure shaped by war, ambition and loneliness.$
