Colin Farrell

VANITIES

AGE: 24. OCCUPAYION: Actor. PROVENANCE: Dublin. BIG BREAK: Arrives this fall with Joel Schumacher's Vietnam-era boot-camp training drama, Tigerland. HOW DID A GOOD IRISH BOY CLINCH AN AUDITION FOR AN AMERICAN SOLDIER? "I literally sat down and talked to the man for two minutes. He was warm and friendly, but very busy. I left the office thinking, Well, that was a fucking waste of time." NEXT UP, THE ROLE OF ANOTHER AMERICAN COMBATANT, OUTLAW JESSE JAMES: "Something like this transcends any culture, any nation. I knew about Jeese James and Billy the Kid when I was very small, so it's something of a dream, really." IT'S A GOOD YEAR FOR FOREIGN LEADING MEN IN HOLLYWOOD; ARE YOU HOPING TO SWIPE SOME OF RUSSELL CROWE'S MOJO? "I really enjoyed Gladiator. Russell Crowe could get up, pull his pants down, and take a shit, and you'd be completely blown away."
