Cillian Murphy must be one of the hardest working actors in Hollywood or on television; it feels like he turns up everywhere all the time. One of the roles you're less likely to have seen him in, though, is 2005's 'Breakfast on Pluto', where he's absolutely riveting as the transgender character Patrick, also known as Kitten Braden.
'Breakfast on Pluto' is a small British independent film, with Murphy's character fleeing from the oppression of conservative Ireland to both search for her mother and explore her own identity in the bright lights of London in the 1970s. There's plenty of drama in the script, although it presents as a comedy and has undeniably comic moments. Murphy received a Golden Globe nomination for his performance. He took the part seriously, hiring the services of a drag queen to give him one on one training and also take him out clubbing so he could get a better feel for gay culture.
