Gabriel Byrne, 72 Years Old

Multihyphenate Irish actor Gabriel Byrne loves language so much that he took up archaeology and linguistics at the University College Dublin. After this, he began screenwriting and had many jobs before becoming an actor. He started with theater before gaining notoriety for the TV show “The Riordans,” which eventually spawned a spin-off, “Bracken.”

Byrne’s success in the industry is proven by the accolades he received, such as a Golden Globe Award for his work in the HBO show “In Treatment.” Apart from this, the star of the acclaimed sci-fi hit “War of the Worlds” also happens to be a narrator, author, producer, and director.
