Barry Keoghan has arrived.

The Dublin actor who made us unable to look away in SALTBURN is now going head-to-head with Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, and Halle Berry in CRIME 101 — and he's not just keeping up, he's stealing scenes.

This isn't just another role—this is Keoghan proving he belongs among Hollywood's heaviest hitters, taking his Love/Hate juice straight to LA and reminding everyone that sometimes the hungriest actor in the room is the most dangerous one.

When Colin Farrell had to choose between a guaranteed paycheck on a hit TV show and a one-in-a-million shot at Hollywood, everyone told him he was insane. His friends said don't do it. His family couldn't understand it. He did it anyway.

Now in BALLAD OF A SMALL PLAYER (in select UK/Ireland cinemas Oct 17, Netflix Oct 29), he plays a man who understands risk better than anyone. Because Farrell's been there. He bet everything on himself when he had nothing, and that decision changed everything.

Sometimes the craziest move is the only one worth making. 🎬
