biography:
Eamon Gerard Murphy, 14 Ekim 1948 tarihinde Newry, County Down, Kuzey İrlanda'da dünyaya gelmiştir. Tüccar denizci bir baba ve öğretmen/kütüphaneci bir annenin en büyük çocuğu olan Murphy, küçük yaşlardan itibaren performansa ilgi duydu. Eğitimini Newry'deki Abbey Christian Brothers' dil okulunda tamamladıktan sonra Queen's University Belfast'te müzik, psikoloji, edebiyat ve antropoloji alanlarında geniş kapsamlı bir eğitim aldı. Üniversite yıllarında müzikal yeteneklerini geliştirerek piyano ve gitar çalmayı öğrendi. Profesyonel oyunculuk kariyerine 1974 yılında Glasgow Citizens Theatre'da adım attı ve burada sergilediği performanslarla kısa sürede yeteneğini kanıtladı.

1970'lerin sonlarından itibaren prestijli Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) ile uzun soluklu ve başarılı bir işbirliğine başladı. Klasik tiyatrodaki ustalığını RSC çatısı altında sergileyen aktör, "Henry IV" oyununda Prens Hal gibi önemli başrolleri üstlenerek tiyatro dünyasının en saygın karakter oyuncularından biri haline geldi. Alan Bennett'in "The History Boys" ve 2007 yapımı "Amadeus" oyununda canlandırdığı Salieri gibi rollerle İngiliz tiyatro tarihindeki yerini sağlamlaştırdı.

Tiyatro sahnesindeki görkemli kariyerinin yanı sıra Murphy, televizyon ve sinema dünyasında da kalıcı izler bıraktı. İngiliz televizyonlarında "Z-Cars", "Doctor Who", "Minder", "McCallum" ve "The Bill" gibi dizilerde çeşitli rollerde yer aldı. Güçlü ses tonu ve karizmatik duruşu sayesinde BBC Radio'nun "Yüzüklerin Efendisi" (The Lord of the Rings) uyarlamasında anlatıcılık görevini üstlendi. Sinemada ise genellikle sert ve otoriter karakterlere hayat verdi; gişe rekorları kıran 1995 yapımı kıyamet sonrası aksiyon filmi "Su Dünyası"nda (Waterworld) kötü adam 'The Nord' karakterini canlandırırken, Christopher Nolan'ın yönettiği "Batman Başlıyor" (Batman Begins) (2005) filminde ise yozlaşmış Yüksek Mahkeme Yargıcı Faden rolüyle hafızalara kazındı.

Kariyerinin son dönemlerinde hastalığına rağmen oyunculuk tutkusundan vazgeçmeyen usta aktör, son sahne performansını Glasgow Citizens Theatre'da Samuel Beckett'in "Krapp's Last Tape" oyununda sergiledi. Gerard Murphy, 26 Ağustos 2013 tarihinde prostat kanseri nedeniyle 64 yaşında hayatını kaybetmiştir.
