From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tony Curran (born 13 December 1968, in Glasgow) is a Scottish actor. He is a graduate of the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama. He stands 6 feet, 2½ inches (1.89 m) tall and has red hair and blue eyes.
In the BBC television series This Life, Curran played a homosexual plumber. To play The Invisible Man in LXG, he donned a special suit that turned him into a walking bluescreen (according to his commentary on the DVD, he looked like a "smurf on acid"). He has played murderers, vampires, Vikings, leprechauns, and "regular guys." He is close friends with Jason Flemyng, who co-starred with him in the 2003 production The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and they participate in marathons together to raise money for charity.
He is a frequent and popular participant in the annual Dressed To Kilt event in New York City, run by the organisation Friends of Scotland in celebration of Tartan Week.
