Jonathan Rhys-Meyers as the Assassin in Michael Collins

He was only in it for the last 20 minutes of the film, but ho damn.

Originally serving as an intermediary between Eamon de Valera and Michael Collins to negotiate a peace, he informs Collins that de Valera would like to meet. Without de  Valera’s knowledge, the assassin and members of the IRA ambush Michael Collins on the side of the road the next day.

It really is unfair that they cast JRM as the assassin, I mean come on! Beautiful blue eyes and russet hair! The casting director knew exactly what they were doing.

Choice pick up line: Meet at Beal Na Blath. A farmhouse to the left of the Bandon side.
