Career[edit]
O’Donoghue’s early career was mainly split between theatre and television work in Ireland and the UK.[7] In 2003, he won the Irish Film and Television Award for «Best New Talent» for his role as Norman in «Home For Christmas».[7]
In 2009, he appeared as Duke Philip of Bavaria in an episode of season 3 of the Showtime historical-fiction series The Tudors. He made his Hollywood film debut alongside Anthony Hopkins in the horror thriller film The Rite (2011).[5] He made an audition video for The Rite in a friend’s home studio in Drogheda and sent it to the United States. He plays guitar and sings in a band called The Enemies, formed in 2003 in Ireland.[5]
In 2012, O’Donoghue was cast as Captain Hook/Killian Jones, love interest of the main heroine Emma Swan, in the second season of the hit ABC series Once Upon a Time. In 2014, O’Donoghue was cast as the main character in The Dust Storm, an independent film set in Nashville, Tennessee as a musician named Brennan.[8][9]

Although the band was unsigned, it was commissioned by General Motors to record tracks for their «Chevy route 66» online campaign.[15] The band worked on the music for Coca-Cola’s «5BY20» project.[16] Their debut album Sounds Big on the Radio was to be released in March 2013, which was later scheduled for 2014.[17] In May 2013, he announced he was leaving the band due to the filming schedule of Once Upon a Time.[18]

Вы помните капитана Крюка в одноименном спилберговском фэнтези? Его играл прославленный актер, оскароносец Дастин Хоффман. Там знаменитый пират уже в годах: когда он снимает парик и смывает грим, оказывается, Крюк – дряхлый старик. А вот Крюка в расцвете лет довелось сыграть неизвестному ирландскому актеру, и случилось это в популярном сериале «Однажды в сказке». Многие считают, что роль Киллиана Джонса («Крюка») – прорыв в творческой биографии Колина О’Донохью.
Биография Колина О’Донохью
Лучший новый талант
Актер и музыкант Колин Артур Джеффри О’Донохью, появился на свет 26 января 1981-го года в ирландском графстве Лаут – в городе Дроэда. Его родители, Кон и Мэри, воспитывали сыновей Колина и Аллена в католической вере. После общеобразовательной школы Колин посещал актерскую студию в Дублине. А в 17 лет решил съездить в Париж, чтобы углубленно изучить французский язык.
Первые годы актерской биографии Колина О’Донохью – это работа в театре и телевизионные проекты на родине и в Англии (такие как «мыльная опера» «Город-сказка», которую снимали на дублинском ТВ, или датско-ирландское шоу «Доказательство»). В 2003-м году актеру вручили национальную премию «Лучший новый талант» – за роль Нормана в телефильме «Дом для Рождества».
В 2009-м Колину повезло оказаться на съемочной площадке исторического сериала «Showtime» «Тюдоры». В третьем сезоне шоу ирландец сыграл герцога Филиппа Баварского, правда, этот персонаж появляется в драме эпизодически.
Дебют в Голливуде: вместе с оскароносцем Хопкинсом
А в 2011-м состоялся голливудский дебют О’Донохью. Он сыграл одну из двух главных ролей в триллере «Обряд». Партнером актера был маститый Энтони Хопкинс – мэтр изображал харизматичного священнослужителя, к которому приехал («стажироваться в экзорцизме» семинарист Майкл). У этого фильма ужасов не очень большой рейтинг, но в прокате он не провалился: мировые сборы ленты – 96,1 млн. долларов.
Кроме Хопкинса в кино сыграли многие известные актеры: Рутгер Хауэр, Тоби Джонс, Киран Хайндс. О том, как Колин получил роль в проекте, отдельный разговор. Он сам записал пробы к фильму на видео (в домашней студии дроэдского приятеля) и отправил в США. Дерзкого ирландца утвердили!
Еще в 2003-м году была основана рок-группа «The Enemies», в которой О’Донохью выступал как фронтмен (вокалист и гитарист). Однако в 2013-м году Колину пришлось оставить коллектив – все его время занял другой проект, ставший для актера звездным.
Темное обаяние капитана Крюка
Дело в том, что Колина пригласили сниматься в фэнтези-сериале «Однажды в сказке». Он присоединился к съемочной группе во втором сезоне и стал постоянным актером шоу.
Его персонаж – Киллиан Джонс по прозвищу «Капитан Крюк» – имеет полное право обижаться на судьбу (вместо левой руки у него – металлический протез). Но Киллиана нельзя называть обычным отрицательным героем, есть в нем и светлые стороны. И если в начале он – наемник Злой королевы (Лана Паррия), то потом влюбляется в Эмму (Дженнифер Моррисон) и хочет ей помочь. А вот от хрестоматийной истории Барри (сказка «Питер Пэн») в характере Крюка почти ничего не осталось. Эта роль – лучшее в биографии Колина О’Донохью.
В апреле 2016-го года состоялась мировая премьера независимой драмы «Песчаная буря», в которой у Колина роль музыканта Бреннана. А его капитану Крюку посвящена песня Кристины Перри «Words», в клипе к композиции задействован сам О’Донохью.
Личная жизнь Колина О’Донохью
Не хочет переезжать в Америку
Как утверждает коллега Колина по шоу «Однажды в сказке» Дженнифер Моррисон, он не только красивый и обаятельный актер, но и очень хороший человек.
О’Донохью не планирует переезд в Лос-Анджелес или Ванкувер (где снимается сериал). Он говорит: «Вы не знаете, как сложатся обстоятельства через два или три года, так что сниматься с места не стоит. Что бы ни случилось, Дроэда всегда останется моим домом, потому что там мои друзья и семья».
Что касается личной жизни Колина О’Донохью, он женат на учительнице Хелен, которая, пока муж снимается вдали от Ирландии, воспитывает их сына Эвана. Кстати, Колин никогда не расстается с серебряным распятием, которое подарила ему супруга. Вера очень важна для него.
