The Irish dramatic TV series, Love/Hate, may be long concluded, but then it has sure made celebrities out of its hitherto obscure actors. One of those is Killian Scott. Although the Irish actor and writer has been on the scene for quite a while, Love/Hate became one of his most phenomenal appearances, including the drama-comedy; Calvary, further propelling him before the public eye. This post chronicles his bio including facts about his net worth.
Killian Scott’s Bio
Killian Scott was born Cillian Murphy in Kilmallock, Limerick, Ireland on July 6, 1985. Though details about his early childhood, education, parents or what they did for a living is not available, it is a known fact that alongside his brother, Eoghan Murphy and Colin Murphy, he was in the lush coastal suburbs of Sandy Mount, Dublin. Eoghan Murphy is a successful politician under the liberal-conservative and pro-European political party, Fine Gael, while Collin Murphy is a playwright.
Wondering how “Cillian” became “Killian?” For his professional career, Cillian discovered just how confusing it would be to proceed with his birth name and the reason isn’t far fetched as “Cillian Murphy” was already an existing name and a famous one at the time. Not to seem like a clone, Cillian not only replaced the “C” with a “K,” he also added a different colour to the piece, Scott, and thus went the name, Killion Scott.
Movies and TV Shows
Following his graduation from high school, Scott attended the University College Dublin where he majored in English and minored in psychology. Before proceeding to college, Killian Scott had a first love – drama. And so, after getting a formal education, the Irish-born took a further step to pursue his dreams at the London-based Drama Centre. After much training, Killian Scott graced the screens for the first time in 2007 when he appeared as Matt in the drama, Creatures of Knowledge. The following year, 2008, Scott landed another role in the low budget film, Christian Blake.
Although the film didn’t make a name, its viewers were already getting familiar with the black-haired Irish actor. Fast forward eleven years, Killian Scott’s acting career has almost made him a household name in the Irish film industry and beyond. But the specifics of all that began with his appearance as Milo Herlihy in the Irish black comedy-drama, Calvary. Calvary saw Scott star alongside big names like Brendan Gleeson, Aidan Gillen, Isaach de Bankolé, and Dylan Moran. The comedy became an instant hit, eventually grossing $16.9 million in the box office. Trailing these successes were several more features in other high-grossing movies and TV shows.
