******THIS IS A *FAN PROFILE* FOR PADDY CONSIDINE. This is not the real Paddy Considine******
Paddy (Patrick) Considine, born 5th September 1974 in the Midlands town of Burton-on-Trent,
Staffordshire. As a teenager Considine studied a drama course at Burton College
where he met with now friend and director Shane Meadows who together formed a
band called 'She talks to angels' (Paddy was their drummer). Neither finished
the course however but Paddy went on to study photography at Brighton University
where he earned a first class honours degree.
After returning from uni old friend Shane Meadows cast Considine in his first
role in a feature film as the disturbed character Morell in 'A Room for Romeo
Brass' (1999). Despite the films huge success at the Edinburgh film festival
rumour has it that Paddy found himself at the local Job centre the Monday following
its première. Paddy then worked on several short films with Meadows.
However Paddy's outstanding performance in 'A room for Romeo Brass' had not gone
unnoticed and he soon found himself cast in Pawel Pawlikowski's 'The Last Resort'
(2000) the following year. Playing the love struck misfit Alfie, for which he
won the best actor award at the Thessaloniki film festival.
Further roles ensued and Paddy has since worked alongside actors such as Russell
Crowe and Renée Zellweger and has gone on to gain nominations at numerous British
film awards including one for his touching role as Johnny in Jim Sheridan's 'In
America' (2003).
As-well as his lead roles Paddy has had a number of scene stealing support roles
in films such as '24 hour party people' (2002), 'Born Romantic'
(2000) and 'The Martins' (2001), working alongside the likes of Steve Coogan,
Lee Evans, Jane Horrocks, Peter Kay and Cathy Burke to name a few.
More recently Considine has been noticed for his performance as Richard the revengeful
brother in the applauded film 'Dead man's Shoes' (2004) which he co-wrote
with Shane Meadows. And for his role as Phil the Born again Christian in Pawlikowski's
'My Summer of Love' (2004).
Continued success for Considine followed with his first major Hollywood release
in 'Cinderella Man' (2005) alongside Russell Crowe and Renée Zellweger
and his role playing the killer of Rolling Stones founder Bryan Jones in 'Stoned'
(2005).
2006 and 2007 brought Spanish thriller 'Backwoods' aka 'Bosque de sombras'
with Brit legend Gary Oldman (Harry Potter, Hannibal, Leon, Fifth Element) and
'The Half life of Timofey Berezin' a black comedy about the Russian Plutonium
black market with Aussie actress Radha Mitchell (Melinda & Melinda, Finding Neverland,
Pitch Black) with Executive producers George Clooney and Steven Soderbergh.
Paddy has been brought to the attention of an even wider audience with the comedy,
cop, action flick 'Hot Fuzz' from the makers of 'Shaun of the dead' (Simon
Pegg, Edgar Wright, Nick Frost et all) and as Sam Ross in 'The Bourne Ultimatum'
appearing alongside Matt Damon.
Paddy's directorial debut with 'Dog Altogether' has recently been awarded
a BAFTA for Best Short Film.
