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...

Jason Statham was the original choice for Peaky Blinders (2013). Cillian Murphy was seen as too physically small compared to Statham. Murphy saved his casting by texting the creator these simple words: "Remember, I'm an actor."

After watching A Quiet Place (2018), Cillian Murphy wrote an email to John Krasinski to congratulate him — then “chickened out,” worried it would look like petitioning for a job. A year later, while writing the sequel, Krasinski and his wife Emily Blunt were binge-watching Peaky Blinders. Seeing Murphy as Tommy Shelby convinced them he was perfect for Emmett in A Quiet Place Part II — and when Krasinski called, Murphy finally told him about the unsent email.

Stephen Graham on working with Cillian Murphy in Peaky Blinders: “I was like Wow, I’m here and it’s Tommy Shelby! Omg, look at him! He has the most beautiful eyes. They are mesmeric, so I found myself staring into his eyes & getting lost for a moment…a proper fangirl moment”😅

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.

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.

RED EYE was released 21 years ago today. Cillian Murphy wanted the role of Jackson so badly that he flew from London to Los Angeles for a meeting with Wes Craven just two days before his wedding. Craven was so impressed that he cast him on the spot.

Joe learned to play one of the most complicated songs to play on guitar just for a minor role in a TV series (and he nailed it btw), and yet people are still worrying about his George Harrison performance. He’s a commitment actor, just the fuck up.

RIP Sir Sam Neill. For his unforgettable role as Chief Inspector Chester Campbell in Peaky Blinders, Neill had to relearn the Belfast accent he’d lost after decades in New Zealand, even turning to Liam Neeson and James Nesbitt for help. Ironically, his accent became so authentic that producers asked him to tone it down because international audiences struggled to understand it. A remarkable actor who left an unforgettable mark on every role he played.

"I asked the shelter staff, 'Is there a dog here that almost nobody pays attention to?'" 💔 They introduced her to Murphy, a large dog trapped in overwhelming fear. He was curled up in the corner of his kennel, head lowered, avoiding every glance, too scared to take a step, his whole body trembling nonstop. Rachel decided to take Murphy outside. The first few steps were incredibly difficult. He was terrified of everything, refused to walk, and constantly tried to retreat into himself. But Rachel never rushed him. Day after day, she patiently took him on gentle walks, fed him, softly stroked him, and let him explore the world at his own pace. Little by little, the wall of fear surrounding Murphy began to crumble. From a dog who seemed completely shut down and had lost all trust, Murphy slowly opened his heart. Then one day, something beautiful happened... the face that had known nothing but fear finally lit up with a happy smile. 🥹❤️
