About me
I work as an actor/voiceover artist,love playing the pipes and music in general,enjoy crooning along to any of the jazz standards,obsessed with health and fitness and will talk for hours about it!WHAT THE CRITICS SAY!! "I would say that one of the more striking aspects of bills performance,not unlike his personality,is his sensitivity,perseptiveness in understanding the complexities of human nature,the joy the suffering and the humour behind it all.Bill has a strong presence which brings an intensity and quite confidence to his roles;an actor and performer,who is always surprising and always impressive." Nollaig O Fionghaile(tmddf and arts council)
RE ANNIE: "Bill Murphys Daddy Warbucks is the standout performance.Murphy is never anything but absolutely convincing as the benevolent billionaire,tough on the outside but with a latent heart of gold." Patrick Brennen(Irish examiner) "Bill Murphy is outstanding as the charismatic billionaire Daddy Warbuks" Gerry Colgan(irish times)
RE ROMEO AND JULIET: "Full on performances from Tybalt(Bill Murphy)…Juliet(Poppy Tierney)…and Juliets nurse(Maire Ni Grainne),lend weight and passion to this production…" Helen Boylan(Sunday Business Post) Bill Murphy has achieved success beyond the wildest dreams of any fellow star….hes a great actor and has found his true calling in the movie business." Gavin Duff(journalist and movie critic)
RE NO COMET SEEN "Bill Murphy is superb as comic private Stephen Lally." Charlie McBride(City Tribune) RE MOLL: Father Brests invective is a particular treat and Bill Murphy the latest custodian of the role,relishes the task.Pat Levy is another highlight in a strong cast. Chris Lowry(Irish Independant)
RE FRUGAL COMFORTS. "Bill Murphy is perfect in the role as the hired hitman.The bonding conversation between him and the landlord of his intended victim has an incredible air of authenticity which, in its delivery is immaculate." Conor Pope(Connaught Tribune) "The pastiche is more subtle than it sounds,and the ironic interplay of cultures is given a more immediate form in mularky(Eamonn Draper)…in which he conducts a conversation about cork with hitman (Bill Murphy)…when the plays irony is fully articulated like this it is genuinely powerful." Finton O Toole(Irish times).
Bill has had the pleasure of working alongside Colin Farrell Kevin Spacey,Dianne Weiss,James Brolin ,Linda Fiorentino Cris Maloni ,as well as a whole host of famed Irish actors,.More later, but for now..all the best.....
