Aidan Gillen - 3 Short Films

Random search on some of Aidan's more obscure roles yielded rewards tonight. :)

"Runners" - 2009

Film short is a quicktime file - will not embed, so watch it at the link above. Aidan plays the drug dealer that the teenager in the film works for - and he's rather sadistically amused. But there's curls for days - so that's a plus! :)

"The Second Death" - 2000

It's a rather spooky 11 min short that centers around a local Irish bar which is visited by a man who's had a rather bad day on the job. His expression and demeanor is ... haunted. Well - that's one way of putting it.

The bar is run by a woman, played by Michelle Fairley. Two of the patrons are young men who are playing pool. One of them is Aidan Gillen.

That's right - "Game of Thrones" own Littlefinger and Catelyn Stark!!!

See what I meant by random? The short was created by the same team behind "The Guard", btw. Aidan Gillen is about to start working on their next project, entitled "Calvary" - he does so like to work with, and re-work with Irish filmmakers.

"Amazing Grace" - 1998

This is only a clip from the beginning of the short film:

Young Irishman arrives in London, lost at night - looking for a pub of which he can't remember the name. Knows nothing of the city. He meets Grace, a prostitute, who's also from Belfast. This is the story of what happens when she tries to help him find his way.
