Kerry Condon may currently be seen starring opposite Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson in Martin McDonagh’s, THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN. She has garnered rave reviews for her performance in the film.
In announcing the upcoming honor for Condon, Trina Vargo, founder and president of the US-Ireland Alliance, said, “Kerry’s performance is a tour de force.” In an interview with Vanity Fair, BANSHEES director Martin McDonagh said he sought to showcase Condon’s talent: “I don’t think I’d quite seen how brilliant she was onstage really captured in the movies. I wanted to make sure that we did that—and she just blew me away.” Condon was also seen in McDonagh’s Academy Award-winning THREE BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE EBBING, MISSOURI. She also originated the role of Mairead in McDonagh’s play The Lieutenant of Inishmore at The Royal Shakespeare Company and the Atlantic Theatre Company in New York. In 2009, she appeared in McDonagh’s play The Cripple of Inishmaan, for which she won a Drama Desk award.
On television, Condon was in the third season of Showtime’s Ray Donovan, as well as the series’ successive movie. Previously, she starred in the lead role in Sharon Horgan's comedy series Women on the Verge. She also had a recurring role in Better Call Saul and co-starred in HBO's Luck opposite Dustin Hoffman and Nick Nolte.
Condon will next be seen in the upcoming thriller IN THE LAND OF SAINTS AND SINNERS alongside Liam Neeson and Ciarán Hinds. She also lends her voice to the role of Friday in three AVENGERS films.
