Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is Gabriel Byrne's birth date?

He only seems to get better with age.
2. What was his mother's profession?

As for his dad he worked as a barrel maker
3. What did he want to become at the age of 12?

6. In what famous Irish TV show did Gabriel land a role?

Answer: Riordans

He did not stay on the air long for the show died down in 1979. But people were so enamored with Gabriel's persona that they made a new show just for him.
7. Which was his first movie?

Answer: Excalibur

You see him briefly (too briefly) at the beginning of the movie as Arthur's father, a rude warrior portrayed by a great actor. Impressive performance for a Irish soap opera boy!
8. In what movie did he meet his ex-wife Ellen Barkin?

Answer: Siesta

Too bad they couldn't make it work. They were married only five years. Gabriel must have been reluctant to grant divorce because he is Catholic just like me. They separated in 1993, divorced in 1999.
9. How many children did he have with ex-wife Ellen Barkin?

Answer: two

He and Ellen remained friends and shared custody of the children.
10. In which movie did he play an ex-cop turned criminal?

Answer: Usual Suspects

Too bad you know at the beginning of the movie that Gabriel's character will die at the end. Great Kevin Spacey performance, though.
