Hi all, I'm a newbie, I'm Leyla and I live in Italy, nice to meet all of you *waves* Actually, I'm an old fan. In age, I'm near Cillian's age (joking, joking, he's not old, but it's true I'm younger by a year) and most of all in being a fan. I first saw Cillian back in 2003 in 28 Days Later and I was immediately hooked. Usually I'm not interested in young actors and sure I didn't pay any attention at all to actors of my age when I was 25. Still, quite surprisingly, I really liked that skinny boy and I've tried to watch all of his movies ever since. What I truly admire in Cillian, apart from the obvious gush over his incredible talent (and he is one of the best of his generation,that's for sure), is his integrity as a performer. I have a soft spot for European actors and you have to respect someone who could try and make big bucks in Hollywood in trashy movies and he decided to stay here and to choose quality. Choosing quality isn't the best choice to make money and to put your name in magazines, but I think quality is a long term choice for not flushing your career down the drain. That proves the kid was - is - also smart in addition to talented and very fascinating. Ok enough gushing, sorry for the long post and looking forward to talking to you! Ciao Leyla

Hi Leyla, nice to meet you! Welcome to the forum! Good to see yet another fan who started with watching 28 Days Later. It's probably my favourite movie, ever. ;D I totally agree with you, I'm glad that Cillian doesn't only focus on Hollywood films. It's always great to see actors stick to their roots, and he has never strayed away from them. Some of his smaller films, in my opinion, are the best ones because usually they have the best stories. Anyway, I hope to see you around the forum! I'm sure you will enjoy it here as the members are all very lovely.

Welcome to the forum, Leyla! Don't worry, you are not alone in being a slightly more "seasoned" fan of Cillian; I'm five years older than he is. His fans come in a wide variety of ages, which makes the boards that much more interesting. In fact, we once had a poll here for the ages of the forum members, and every age group was well represented. Even more intriguing is the international flavor of the fans; we come from all corners of the globe! Again, welcome, and I look forward to seeing you around the boards.
