First role
Considine made his professional stage debut in 2017 as Quinn Carney in The Ferryman at the Royal Court Theatre, a performance that brought him Olivier and Tony Award nominations for best actor.
Behind the camera
Considine wrote his debut short Dog Altogether while filming the Spanish thriller Bosque de Sombras, and co-star Gary Oldman gave him the confidence to make it.
First role
After university, Meadows put Considine in several short films and in his second film, A Room for Romeo Brass (1999). Considine played the disturbed Morell in his screen debut, and that performance led Pawel Pawlikowski to cast him in his first starring role, Last Resort (2000).
Early training
In 1990, Considine enrolled in a National Diploma in Performing Arts at Burton College, and it was there that he first met Shane Meadows.
A change of course
Considine and Shane Meadows formed She Talks To Angels, with Meadows singing and Considine on drums. Considine quit when the band grew more serious, feeling his drumming was not good enough.
Beyond film
In 2014 Tim Burgess of the Charlatans asked Considine's band to perform at his Tim Peaks Diner event, part of Festival No 6 in Portmeirion, Wales, which became the band's breakthrough performance.
