Cillian murphy is the perfect choice for tommy Shelby. I dont believe anyone else can portray that role better than him.
Agreed
Jason Statham
@@sabayunhirapure8043 Definitely won't be as good.
@@mino9147 yes of course
Though jason was the first choice
Also polly and arthur
Cillian really is different in interviews, he's so awkward and silent. But when in films, I could never tell he's shy, very great actor indeed
Remember I'm an actor

Thanks for the insight
RIP Helen Mccrory🖤🌻😔

The show is nothing without Cillian. Arthur is amazing too but what Cillian brought to the show was on another level
Not true, Cillians acting and presence is incredible, but this show is what it is because of its fantastic writing and direction
@@z3ny156 💯
Respect Alfie
@@z3ny156 both are right
Both are right
"Remember, I'm an actor" - Cillian Murphy
Outstanding move
That’s something Tommy Shelby would say if he was trying to get a role himself. He knew what Knight was looking for and that he was preceived the wrong way so he reminded him what he can do in such a short and powerful way. Man played Tommy Shelby before he could be Tommy Shelby.
honestly im glad he did that, never thought cillian woubut im glad he did that 😂 this show is wouldnt be great without him
imagine jason playing jason tho i like him but hes got no range lol
@@tilidie5272 i agree, good actor but he more suit for action movies
@@tilidie5272 - Exactly my thought. I like Jason but he doesn't have the depth and range necessary to be Tommy Shelby. Honestly, I don't think he would have worked for any of the Shelbys. Some of the villains maybe but not the Shelbys.
First time acting and he’s doing an insane job
(Michael grey)
Who??
@@sapphire2916 oh lol right the person who plays Michael
@@sapphire2916 Aunt Polly's son
also Finn.
@@maxverstappennonofficial working in Peaky Blinders and in the same time selling coffe somewhere in a small caffe... that's 👏👏👏👏👏👏 unique
Helen and Cillian took the show to a unfathomable level. Hats off to the brilliance.
I just watched the first season for the first time, and am 2 episodes into the second. I am truly speechless with their performance. An unlikely pair, casting director struck gold.
The casting is brilliant. I absolutely love Arthur. When he says “by the order of the Peaky f$&{king Blinders!” it just sounds so cool. Arthur and John both have so much swagger walking around taking care of business for Tommy. Cillian is such a boss, he’s got charisma and mystique at the same time.
By Oda of da Peaky fookin bloindaz!!!
Honestly, Arthur's actor already trademarked that lines with his badass voice xD cant live without it
rest in peace, Helen McCrory
In the bleak midwinter
Why spoilers man
@@albertnickol1751 she died in real life...
@@albertnickol1751 the actor died, not the character
In the bleak midwinter
Jason Statham doesn't have the range to play Tommy, he's very one-dimensional. Cillian has so much depth as an actor, his intelligence really shines through, that's why Tommy is so believable as a complicated, super-smart 'tough guy' who cares, but who is also selfish and toxic. And yet somehow we all still love and root for him.
Arthur literally had the best accent. Im shocked it was hard for it... and I doubt there would have been better actors for this show. They all nailed it!!!
hi nawal!
The accents are all pretty bad but it’s forgiven because the acting, the strength of the characters, the story lines and the sets more than make up for it.
I feel qualified to say that because I’m a Brummie…
My grandad worked for a back street illegal betting shop in Small Heath, Birmingham during the 1920’s..
@@icarus3604 They actually turned the accents down on purpose, so that they could get the American audience. And it worked
@@deathtrap5556 Not getting them right doesn’t count as toning down..
Roight..
This show has the most attractive and best dressed cast ever. My God🤩
I know… off the charts swagger 🥰🔥
"We are brave , aren't we Polly?"
" That's the beauty"
❤️❤️
പൊളി ❤
Joe Cole was right. This is Cillian's show. There are no Peaky Blinders without Tommy. I love Jason but he would have been the wrong choice for the role. I was never really a fan of Cillian until Peaky Blinders. Now, I literally want to boink him 24/7 and bear his 20 children. If Cillian leaves the show, they should end it because nobody can play Tommy beside him and the show dies if they try to do it without Tommy. One of the reasons this show rocks is because they are no hollyweirdos butchering the Brummie accent. I love that all cast members are British/Irish and so there was no need to fake an accent. I also love that they cast because of the story not because of identity political BS. Each character works and is in line with the story. The story is epic and I love that you just don't know what will happen next. Brilliant show!
Shutup
@@tusmoali7975 Respect
omg I love your comment
“Boink him and have 20 of his children.” Hahaha, Excellent, and same.
Me too lmao 😂🙋🏻♀️
Can't even imagine this show without Cillian, without any of the actors really. The are amazing
Can't imagine Jason Stathem doing a Brummie accent, it would be like Sean Connery doing his Spanish accent 🤣😜
Rip aunt Polly (In the bleak mid winter)
The power of hiring new fresh actors. ❤️
Cillian Murphy has been acting since the 90s. Ppl are only now realising he's brilliant but he's always been.
@@jenniferc6285 Cillian is well known and you're right, he's amazing. Him aside, fresh actors can make a series long lasting. They try harder cause they want the show/movie to succeed. That's all I'm saying. 🤔
I love the cast and what they bring to the show but most of them struck gold with legit no background experience in acting. That is proof that you should still take shots and risks because you just might get the role, even if it’s a slight chance. So go chase your dreams.
Who would have thought that Finn(Michael) has never acted before. His acting was spectacular
He's doing Animal kingdom. A character that meet his uncles and they do illegal thing too.
I agree!!
I never experienced an actor like Cillian who came totally under my skin. He was my everything. I adored him.
Everybody was amazing. Thank you all!
Cillian Murphy is definitely one of the most talented and versatile actor in the last 25 years.
I am huge fan of Jason but NO ONE could have done it better than Cilian
Thomas Shelby is supposed to have his brains and looks to get what he wants. I'm not saying Statham is not good looking but come on those blue eye? That perfectly sculpted face? He is the epitome of danger and beauty put together. So yea, Cillian is perfect for Thomas.
Rest easy Aunt Polly🥀
To think Finn wasn't even an actor and now he has some of the most powerful scenes? That's pure talent💯
....well
to be very honest,the show wont be getting the recognition as right now if tommy was portrayed by another actor. Cillian added huge impact into the show with his strong personality. thats how the he managed to carry the show perfectly.
Wow, so many new actors??? I'm so impressed with all of them I wouldn't have any idea that they never acted before. Arthur is just amazing, his acting is on a other level and he suits his role so well!
Choosing Cillian for the role of Tommy Shelby was the best thing ever! He portrayed Tommy so well!!! Cillian was Tommy!! I cannot imagine the show without Cillian!!
I will be rewatching the entire show for the 6th time just for Helen. ❤️
Jason Statham has always been my favorite actor…
But damnnn Cillian killed that role 🔥🔥🔥 Peaky Blinders without Cillian would have been an average gangster drama series. Nobody can replace Cillian, what a foookin‘ talented man!!!
?? he plays the same role in every movie
I am totally in-love with Thomas Shelby.
Cillian Murphy portrayed the character flawlessly.
What an incredible, powerful, and stunning woman Helen was. I only knew her as Aunt Polly......I miss you already Pol. The world was touched by your grace.
I really can’t imagine someone else to be Tommy Shelby a part from Cilian . It’s not even look like acting it’s more like his real lifestyle
I believe he's said his style of acting taking a massive toll on him physically and emotionally. So, when he goes home to his family, he really goes back to the true introvert he is and has to sort of recover from all that intensity.
Joe Cole was right Cillian did outshine everyone portraying Tommy, he was "PHENOMENAL" But John Shelby was my fav.aside from Tommy and it hit me hard when i found out he died in season 5. I'd kill to see the continuing season❤
Didnt he die in season 4?
Same! I love John’s character, I miss seeing him on the show. He had much swagger in the way he walked and talked and nobody mouthed a toothpick quite like him. I wonder why he really left the show.
Same. I really liked John too. Rip
Yeah he’s the main reason I even watched peaky blinders because I Love Cillian Murphy I love how they said he was good for a huge male and female audience lol
R.I.P. Helen McCrory
I always glazed over when Ada was on-screen, but there was this one scene that I'll never forget that changed my mind about her and even got me crushing. That scene in the pub and she's like "Next time make sure you have ice. This pub's come to our attention for it's lack of ice", then she went over to the corner table, said nothing, and the guy got shook and vacated the seats.
I'm so glad they casted who they did instead of huge actors. Every person is amazing. Jason Statham is cool, but he's no Cillian Murphy lol.
he doesn't have the breadth of range that Cillian has though, that is required for a complex role like Tommy Shelby.
Oh Aunt Polly, you have no idea how much we're going to miss you •́ ‿ ,•̀
I think that Paul Anderson and Cillian Murphy’s Brummie accents are excellent, and I’m born & bred in Birmingham.
Not a single fooking show gonna beat peaky blinders 😤🐐
suits>>>>>
Cillian murphy is the reason why I'm watching the show... no one cpyld have played thomas shelby's character better than him...
I can't imagine Jason Statham as Thomas Shelby. If it was him, I think I would not watch the pilot episode. Cillian is the perfect choice especially in terms of acting.
Helen McCrory would have been spoken in the same breath as Judi Dench and Helen Mirren, she was that good in all her various roles, especially on the stage. A sad loss
I cannot imagine anyone else playing these characters, they all just fit so well
My favorite characters are Tommy and Polly, done magnificently by Cillian and Helen and we gonna miss aunt Polly 💔
Also, Arthur's, Alfie's and Luca Changretta's roles are super good and actors did it perfectly!
In the bleak mid winter RIP Aunt Polly
but damn... Cillian fooking Murphy 😍🤤
Imagine Jason got the Tommy role lmao bald Tommy Shelby
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Jason doesn't fit the role.... he's too one dimensional..
Cillian Murphy killed the role. He lowkey brings in James Bond vibes but in gangster era through Peaky Blinders. What a badass.
Sam Neill was amazing as well!
A pretty random comment. Cillian Murphy is to Tommy Shelby as RDJ is to Iron Man
She was, IS, beautifully chasrismatic and enigmatic, love on forever Helen, with love, x
Great show! 💕They are all great! Cillian Murphy is the best!💕So sad we lost Helen McCrory may she Rest in peace!🙏
By my personal opinian , these new-generation actors are way better actors overall than other old-school/classic movies/famous actors.
There's good ones and bad ones in every generation
Watch more old movies.
Everyone Was a Brilliant pick
A nearly Perfect Cast
Even Tom Hardy Did an AMAZING JOB as Alfie
Gotta continue watching the show, just started season 5. I feel so bad for Helen man, it sucks how the best people are always the first to go. She was an incredible actress and potrayed Polly beautifully. So is the rest of the cast. A truly amazing, high quality show, it's a must watch.
Joe Cole stepping out with humility is admirable
Rip Polly 💔
I cannot imagine this next season without Polly, God bless her soul.
I was surprised to know that Finn Cole wasn't an actor😱 first time acting and he's so professonally doin' it. Brilliant talent😍
To be honest I think the reason the show was so good because they had seasoned actors and newbies together and I think they fed off each others skills and it worked
"remember, im an actor" yep thats something tommy would say
Yes. Joe Cole was right. This is Cillian Murphy's show but we lamented big time when John died.
I just can't. Natasha is just way too freaking beautiful
Cilian is brilliantly awesome
Thank you for this video ♡
Arthur's character arc is like a roller coaster ride.. it's perfectly written and portrayed! Hands down..
I just can’t imagine Jason Statham playing a complex character like Tommy Shelby. He always plays the same alpha goons.
Thank God she took the role! She did amazing:)
Jason was priority over Cillian? Lol I can’t
Jason can’t even act IMO
Him and Vin Diesel are so overrated
He's great in actions movies, most definitely, but not for complex acting roles.
My beloved Aunt Pol! Such a fantastic character. RIP Helen Mc Crory.
Paul Anderson was perfect for Arthur’s character. He was my favorite character in the series. His ability to be a Shelby and handle business, while having to cope with his PTSD alone since no one takes that part of him serious, really sets the tone for a person who faces that in real life. His acting is absolutely superb. Loved everyone but Arthur MUST get his flowers.
Remember...Im an actor..Tomy Shelby.Perfect👌
He said that because he was aware that he neither looked like or seemed like he could play Tommy Shelby 😊
BY THE ORDER OF THE FOOKIN PEAKY BLINDERS🔥🖤
I miss you aunt poll
Cillian Murphy: "Remember, I'm an actor."
Finn Cole: "I'm not an actor."
Love Arthur, he's my favourite character on the show☺️❤️
I'm getting vexed bout how he's saying "Birmingham"
RIP Polly 💔💔💔
I was just watching this show!!
do you want a spoiler? 😅
True talent all' thank you for It ✨✨✨
RIP sweet Lady Helen McCrory
Damn, so Joe chose to leave? I thought he was just written off the show, cus you know, there wasn't much left for him to do, or maybe there was but idk
He got offered a lead role in a movie
Cillian was born for this role
Rip Helen McCrory 😭
Joe is so underrated
Joe Cole 😍 I love him!! I remember him since he was on the show called “Skins” it was very nice of him to encourage his brother to try acting and he is very good actor too!
Can't imagine anyone other than Cillian in Tommy's place
"In the bleak mid winter" ... "winter is coming". 🌬⏳
Yeah, Cillian definitely draws a female audience.😍🔥
Wish there was a part 2 featuring Grace's actress, Sam Neil, Tom Hardy and other consistent characters
miss you aunt polly
Only cillian 😍😍😍
Some people just watched show cuz Cillian looks so hottt
"Remember, I'm an actor"
That's a roast that Tommy would actually do
CILLIAN MURPHY!!!
Jason could've prolly done a Alfie but def not Tommy!
Just an outstanding actor unbelievable performances an actual joy to see Cillian Murphy
Absolutely agree, Helen 🤗🌺🤗 Cillian Murphy’s performances in “Peaky Blinders” are truly outstanding and a joy to watch 😍
@@OSSAchannel isn't he just thank you thank you
Do it for your brother, Finn. TAKE HIS FOOKIN EYES
Christopher nolan even called Cillian a camillion
