Barry Keoghan

Barry Keoghan is an Oscar-nominated Irish actor recognized for his work across independent films, television series, and major film projects. He gained international prominence through roles such as his performance in Saltburn and his portrayal of Jonny McGee in the crime drama Top Boy.

Keoghan has built a versatile screen career spanning gritty television and high-profile cinematic endeavors. He played unhinged Irish mobster Jonny McGee in the fifth season of Top Boy and was set to reprise the role in the five-episode prequel series Jonny Boy. In film, he took on the role of Beatles drummer Ringo Starr in a four-part biopic project directed by Sam Mendes, filming in London alongside co-stars Paul Mescal, Joseph Quinn, and Harris Dickinson.

Between high-profile shoots, Keoghan returned to Ireland to star in Kim Bartley's narrative directorial debut Lemonade. His participation in the Dublin-based drama came with a strict contractual condition prohibiting anyone on set from cutting or altering his hair due to overlapping production schedules with the Beatles film project.
