Pierce Brosnan is recognized internationally as one of the most dashing and skilled dramatic actors in Hollywood today. In 2005, Brosnan received a Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Performance by an Actor for his role as Julian Noble in the critically acclaimed film “The Matador.”

Brosnan recently completed filming "Marriage," written and directed by Ira Sacks. Co-Starring Chris Cooper, Patricia Clarkson and Rachel McAdams, “Marriage” is a 1940s-set drama about a married man who cheats; to spare his wife the shame of a divorce, he plots to kill her.

Brosnan's first three Bond films earned over a billion dollars at the international box-office. His most recent Bond film, “Die Another Day,” was the most successful Bond film ever, garnering nearly a half-billion dollars worldwide.
