Attore irlandese nato a Boyle, nella contea di Roscommon, nel 1979, Chris O'Dowd si guadagnò un pubblico di culto come Roy, il disastroso tecnico informatico della sitcom britannica 'The IT Crowd' (2006-2013). Hollywood lo notò quando interpretò il tenero poliziotto Rhodes in 'Le amiche della sposa' (2011), e da allora alterna commedia e dramma in 'Non dico altro' (2012), 'Miss Peregrine - La casa dei ragazzi speciali' (2016) e 'Molly's Game' (2017), oltre a una candidatura al Tony a Broadway per 'Uomini e topi'. Il suo marchio: un calore trasandato che rende gli uomini comuni discretamente divertenti e commoventi.
