Aran Murphy, the 19-year-old son of acclaimed actor Cillian Murphy, is rapidly making a name for himself in the acting world. He is set to appear in two prominent upcoming roles: as university drop-out Ruari in the comedy-drama "Youth" on HBO Max and as Gabriel in Sky Atlantic's divorce drama "War." In "War," Murphy will portray the truculent son of a Hollywood actress and her billionaire husband, played by Sienna Miller and Dominic West.
