We\\u2019ve long admired Gabriel Byrne\\xa0for his nuanced performances in films like The Usual Suspects, Miller\\u2019s Crossing, and Dead Man, and the television series In Treatment, for which he won a Golden Globe. Byrne\\u2019s thoughtful, understated acting style is reflected in his writing. \\xa0His new memoir,\\xa0Walking with Ghosts,\\xa0far from a celebrity tell-all, is an exquisite portrait of an Irish childhood and a remarkable journey to Hollywood and Broadway success. The book follows Byrne from his childhood in the outskirts of Dublin, to seminary in England where he hopes to become a priest, to his growing interest in theater and poetry in 1960\\u2019s Dublin. Byrne also courageously recounts his battle with addiction and the ambivalence of fame. On January 12, 2021, Gabriel Byrne talked to Stephen Winn via videoconference.\\xa0
