Kieran O'Brien
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kieran O'Brien is an English actor. He was born in Rochdale in 1973.
O'Brien began acting at a young age and was the star of a BBC TV series Gruey by the time he was 15. He also featured in several other series at the time in one-off or recurring roles. In 1993 he played the role of Craig Lee in two separate TV shows, Coronation Street and Children's Ward. In 1993 he also became a regular in the detective series, Cracker.
In 1999, O'Brien appeared in his first feature film, Virtual Sexuality. He is featured in the 2002 24 Hour Party People.
In 2003 he appeared in The Cooper Temple Clause music video Promises, Promises (song) and can be seen saying he got 'laid' in the Millennium Dome in the making of the video.
In 2004, O'Brien appeared in the film 9 Songs. His role is highly unusual in that he had unsimulated and very graphic sex with his co-star Margo Stilley. He is one of very few actors who have been shown ejaculating in a mainstream, UK produced feature.
To date, O'Brien continues both his television and film acting careers. Recent appearances have been made in The Road to Guantanamo and Totally Frank as well as a reprise of his role in Cracker. Goal! 2: Living the Dream... is currently on general release.
O'Brien was also one of the stars of the BBC's police drama, Holby Blue, appearing from the first ever episode until the third episode of the second series, when his character was shot dead.
