How He Got the Part After meeting the director briefly in London, Farrell sent Schumacher an audition tape shot by his sister. It got him a callback in L.A.
Previous Jobs A recurring role in the British TV series Ballykissangel.
What Fame Has Brought Wariness of photographers: ''I've been warned by publicists, 'They'll try and get yer shirt off and turn y'into a f---in' Abercrombie & Fitch poster.'''
What's Next Gunslinging as Jesse James in American Outlaws; reteaming with Schumacher in the thriller Phone Booth; and starring opposite Bruce Willis in the WWII drama Hart's War.
