Murphy wants roles in smaller films
July 25th, 2012 - 3:04 pm ICT by IANSLondon, July 25 (IANS) Irish actor Cillian Murphy wants to star in “smaller films” shot closer to his home here. The reason is his family life.
The 36-year-old is known for his portrayal of Jonathan Crane better known as Scarecrow in Christopher Nolan’s “Batman” trilogy. He recently reprised his role in the latest movie “The Dark Knight Rises”, but he isn’t keen on being in anymore big movies for a while, reports contactmusic.com.
“I have lots of friends that live in Los Angeles, and they love it. I just feel like I’m European, and I want to do theatre, and I want to do TV, and I want to do smaller films, and I love the big studio pictures, but I want to be near my family. It’s just a priority,” said Murphy.
He will be next seen in Rodrigo Cortes’ thriller “Red Lights”.
