Though neither American nor a teenager, Barry Keoghan wowed audiences with his terrifying portrait of Martin - an Ohio teen exacting a cruel revenge on heart surgeon Colin Farrell - in the Yorgos Lanthimos masterpiece, The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017). Born in Summerhill, Dublin and raised by his grandmother from age nine, Keoghan was bitten by the performing bug when he enrolled at The Factory, a fledgling drama school designed to nurture talent in the spheres of film and television. Tailgating brief stints on a pair of Dublin-set drama serials - Fair City (1989), Love/Hate (2010) - and meatier roles in small-scale pics such as '71 (2014), Mammal (2016), and Trespass Against Us (2016) - Keoghan shot to international esteem with his consecutive roles in 'Deer' and the Christopher Nolan war epic Dunkirk (2017); a winning streak that continued with his mysterious cameo in megabudget super-noir The Batman (2022), Martin McDonagh's The Banshees of Inisherin (2022) - for which he was Oscar-nominated for his poignant work as the vulnerable Dominic - and cultural firecracker Saltburn (2023), which brought him Golden Globe and BAFTA nods. Alongside his film career, Keoghan is an accomplished amateur boxer and, since joining their prestigious "style squad" in 2017, a brand ambassador for Dior.
