Born the May 12th 1950 with Dublin, Gabriel Byrne (to pronounce beurne ) grows with Rathmines, suburbs of Dublin, where it receives according to its own terms “an education of XIXe century” in the middle of the green moors of Ireland to the steps of the horses. It passes its childhood in the cinemas of Dublin, and imitates with his comrades the cow-boys (a role who will launch it later almost twenty years in “The Riordians”, series worship on a family of peasants in Ireland and in “Buffalo Girls”) and the mafiosos (role which it will interpret with plume in “Miller' S crossing”, all in relaxation and cynicism in “Mad Dogs Time”, and traditional in “Shade”). At 12 years, it engages in the priesthood because “it of called there much but few elected officials” and are exiled during four years infernal in England.To fifteen years it is returned to Dublin to have to smoke in a cemetery. It gives up its studies and launches out in a series of odd jobs: dispach rider, cook, barman, waiter, apprentice plumber, do the housework in a mortuary…
At 19 years it resumes its studies and studies with UCD (University College off Dublin) archeology and linguistics during four years, leaves for Spain where he will be English professor in the Spanish army and will test itself even with the bullfighting. After some time spent to Spain it returns to the country where he will be Spanish professor in a private school of young girls. He trails in the theaters of Dublin, to the RTE (Irish television), connects the small roles at the beginning (experimental spectacles).
