Bronagh Gallagher

Actress · Since 1989
Bronagh Gallagher, born in Derry in 1972, is a Northern Irish actress and musician whose career mixes gritty ensemble drama and cult independent cinema. She broke through as the fierce Bernie McGloughlin in Alan Parker's The Commitments (1991), and the following years took her from Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction (1994), where she played Jody's friend, to Mary Harron's The Notorious Bettie Page (2005). She has continued with British and Irish film and television, including Divergent (2014), the Star Wars sequel The Force Awakens (2015) and Kenneth Branagh's Belfast (2021). Also active as a soul-inflected singer-songwriter, she remains one of the most distinctive character actresses to come out of the North of Ireland.
