Barry takes on the role of Martin Lang, a mysterious person who takes revenge on Dr Steven Murphy (Colin Farrell) for killing his father. His performance displays his full range as an actor, bringing justice to the character.
4. American Animals: The film presents an excellent combination of fact and fiction where a group of friends come together to carry out a rare book heist. Barry portrays Spencer Reinhard, a struggling art student who gets involved in an almost impossible crime.
5. 71: In the 2014 action thriller, the actor takes on the role of Sean Bannon, a member of the Provisional Irish Republican Army. He could be seen struggling between finding his own conscience and obeying his elders. The character’s inner conflict is what makes the film among Barry’s must-watches.
6. Saltburn: Last but not least, Barry Keoghan’s performance in the film could be described as jaw-dropping and chilling. Immersing himself in the character of Oliver Quick, a psychosexual figure, he fearlessly bears his anatomical parts that complement those bold dancing skills.
