BIOGRAPHY OF PIERCE BROSNAN
Born on May 16, 1953 to Drogheda, but grown up in Navan, in Ireland, Pierce Brosnan he had a rather troubled childhood. His father left the family when he was a baby, and at the age of four, when his mother moved to London to work as a nurse, he went to live first with his grandparents, then with his uncles, and finally in a boarding school. Only in 1964 the small Pierce he reaches his mother, in the meantime remarried, in London: and it will be then that the stepfather, that Brosnan will immediately accept as a father figure, will take him for the first time to see a film by 007, Goldfinger.
Dropped out of school at just 16, Pierce Brosnan he is passionate about the circus arts and, while performing on the street in a fire-eater number, he is noticed by a circus agent who writes it for three years. He later discovers acting, and begins dating Drama Center of the British capital, where he will graduate in 1975.
Thus began working as a stage assistant at the York Royal Theater, and within a few months he made his debut as McCabe in the first English production of “The Red Devil Battery Sign” of Tennessee Williams: his performance arouses a great uproar, and sends the actor a congratulatory telegram from the same Williams, that Brosnan still retains.
His theatrical career takes off (he will also work with Zeffirelli in an installation by Filumena Marturano) and so does the television one, both in the UK and in the USA.
Moved to California, in 1982 the actor becomes the star of the popular TV show Never say yes, which will last until 1987 and which will consecrate him in the role of an elegant seducer of action, and which will arouse the interest of producers who are looking for a new face of James Bond after the abandonment of Roger Moore. Brosnan, however, will not be able to withdraw from the contract that binds him to NBC, but his entry into the world of 007 it is only postponed: it will in fact have in 1995 with Goldeneye – which will follow Tomorrow Never Dies (1997), The World is Not Enough (1999) and Death Can Wait (2002) – but it will not be a film debut. That had in fact happened in 1980 with a small role in it The day of Good Friday, although the real activity on the sets will begin for the actor in the second half of the eighties with films such as Nomads (1986), the spy-movie Fourth Protocol (1987) and Taffin (1988).
In 1991 Brosnan loses his wife Cassandra Harris, who died at the age of 43 from cancer, with whom he had been married since 1980 and with whom he had a son: he will also take the children he had from Harris in a previous marriage to live with him.
Recovered from the loss, in 1993 appears next to Robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire e, already become the nuvoo Bond, in a strongly self-deprecating role in Mars Attacks! by Tim Burton, is the protagonist of adventurous films such as Dante’s Peak and Robinson Crusoe, who see him in rougher-than-usual roles, and the remake de The Thomas Crown case, Two-player game, in which he plays the clothes that were of Steve McQueen.
In 2001, the year of his second marriage to the American journalist Keely Shaye Smith, and shortly before closing with the saga of Bond, engages in a different kind of spy film ne The tailor of Panama, while in the 2005 plays his perhaps most underrated film, the eccentric comedy The Matador, which sees him in the role of a glamorous international killer (role that earned him a Golden Globes nomination). The following year he starred with Liam Neeson of an excellent western entitled Merciless hunting.
No.el 2009 is theAdam Lang former British prime minister de The man in the shadows of Roman Polanski which brings the novel by Robert Harris; in 2014 was the protagonist of the Let’s not get down based on the novel of the same name by Nick Horby, and returned to a vaguely Bondian spy thriller with The November Man. Soon we will see him alongside Milla Jovovich in the thriller Survivor and in the role of Louis XIV in the historical The Moon and the Sun.
