A Conversation with Gabriel Byrne: Re-Release

Published: Aug. 31, 2022, 5 a.m.

When people ask me who are the most interesting characters I\u2019ve ever talked to for \u201cNow What?\u201d I always think of the Irish actor Gabriel Byrne. Byrne has been in many iconic movies including\xa0Miller\u2019s Crossing\xa0and\xa0The Usual Suspects. He also played the brooding psychiatrist in the series\xa0In Treatment\xa0and became a heartthrob at the age of 59. He\u2019s now performing in a stage version of his memoir\xa0Walking with Ghosts. This is a beautifully written piece in which Byrne talks about the years he spent as a thief and his calling to be a priest. I spoke to Gabriel Byrne for an episode that was first posted in March 2021. \u201cNow What?\u201d is produced with help from Steve Alex Wolfe. Audio production is by\xa0\xa0Nick Ciavatta.\xa0\xa0\xa0
