A handsome rogue with a sexy brogue, John Lynch grew up the eldest of 5 half Irish (from their father) and half Italian (from their mother) children in Northern Ireland before heading to London to study acting at the Central School of Speech and Drama. He would join the famed Royal Shakespeare Company in the 1980’s before bursting into British film and television, starting with his 1984 feature debut as a young member of the Provisional Irish Republic Army in Cal opposite Helen Mirren. This would be the set up for his big screen breakout in the 1993 Oscar-nominated In The Name Of The Father, a biographical drama also set amidst The Troubles in Northern Ireland. John’s real life would infuse his work, having grown up during the early years of the conflict, and many of his projects would center on this time period, including The Railway Station Man (1992), Nothing Personal (1995), Some Mother’s Son (1996), and reuniting with Mirren in Evelyn (2002). He become a fixture of 90’s costumed dramas, causing many a swoon as the perpetually mourning father Lord Archibald in The Secret Garden (1993) and as a romantic artist in Moll Flanders (1996). Then he’d break everyone’s hearts in 1998 by playing Gwyneth Paltrow’s cheating boyfriend in the modern what-if indie Sliding Doors. He has continued to work in film while finding success on the small screen as well. After stints on All Good Things (1991), Making Out (1991), The Jury (2011), The Assets (2014), he appeared in his longest series run to date on the Irish/UK crime drama The Fall. He’d follow that up with The Terror (2018) and Tin Star (2019) before finally giving fans what they’ve wanted for years, nay decades - lingering looks at his bare naked bum on the international mystery series The Head. The real mystery is why it took this long for this hottie to show off his body!
