Cillian Murphy

"He's unafraid of death," says peaky blinders star cillian murphy about Tommy Shelby, the tormented, enigmatic leader of the fictional Shelby crime family. The BAFTA-winning crime saga, which first debuted in 2013, is loosely based off the real Peaky Blinders, a gang who may have sewed razor blades in the peaks of their caps in Birmingham, England, during the early 1900s. Murphy has appeared in Hollywood blockbusters like Inception, 28 Days Later and the Dark Knight series, but it's playing mob boss Shelby that Murphy considers a real "gift." Murphy reveals that Season 5 will be more politically charged, showing the rise of fascism in England during the reign of Sir Oswald Mosely (Sam Claflin), the leader of the violent, anti-Semitic British Union of Fascists. Without sharing his own views on politics, Murphy lauds show creator Steven Knight's masterful way of addressing today's climate. "Steven Knight is very smartly commenting on what is happening in the world politically, but doing it through the prism of history, which is a much smarter, a much more elegant way of dealing with it."
