Brendan Gleeson has done just about everything in his 30-plus years making movies, from starring in some of the biggest movies ever (the Harry Potter movies) to small indies, from dark dramas to action to family comedy. The Irish Oscar-nominated actor has long been a favorite of mine, so in honor of Gleeson’s 70th birthday on March 29, I decided to rank my picks for the best Brendan Gleeson movies.
We’re just sticking with his movies here, despite him giving some strong performances on TV as well, including Mr. Mercedes, State of the Union and probably one of my favorite Saturday Night Live skits of the last few years.
