Before that, he then had a number of small roles in various TV shows and movies till he played the part of Private Roland Bozz in Tigerland in 2000. Since then he has been one of Ireland's rising stars in Hollywood, acting alongside some of Hollywood's finest including Bruce Willis in Hart's War, Tom Cruise in Minority Report, Al Pacino in The Recruit and Samuel L.
