Domhnall Gleeson will be honored at the Oscar Wilde Awards on Thursday 12th March at the Ebell theater in Los Angeles, an event that takes place three days before the Academy Awards and is recognition for a 20+ year career that has taken him from Hogwarts to Starkiller Base and numerous stops inbetween. Currently starring in The Office spin-off The Paper on Peacock, the award is richly deserved, marking an incredibly busy and diverse career that has many more juicy roles ahead of it.
The eldest son of Oscar-nominated actor Brendan Gleeson is well known for his turns as Bill Weasley in both parts of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in 2010-11 and as the ruthless General Hux in the Star Wars films The Force Awakens (2015), The Last Jedi (2017) and The Rise of Skywalker (2019).
Gleeson made his onscreen debut with his dad in the Oscar-winning short Six Shooter (2004), and his big-screen résumé includes Never Let Me Go (2010), True Grit (2010), Anna Karenina (2012), About Time (2013), Ex Machina (2014), Brooklyn (2015), The Revenant (2015), American Made (2017), Mother! (2017), Goodbye Christopher Robin (2017) and Peter Rabbit (2018).
He appeared on the HBO series Run and White House Plumbers in 2020 and ’23; starred in and co-created (with brother Brian) the 2021 Prime Video series Frank of Ireland; starred with Steve Carell on the 2022 FX/Hulu limited series The Patient; and starred with Andrea Riseborough and executive produced the 2023-24 Channel 4/PBS limited series Alice & Jack.
