Moving to London with his family at an early age, Irish-born actor Pierce Brosnan made ends meet as a commercial illustrator and cab driver before turning to acting full-time. After training at the London Drama Centre, Brosnan made his West End stage bow in 1976, and appeared in his first film, The Long Good Friday, four years later.

Kevin Crust of the Los Angeles Times noted that Brosnan and Neeson made "fine adversaries;"[44] ... Michael Rechtshaffen of The Hollywood Reporter thought that they were "hard-pressed to inject some much-needed vitality into their sparse lines."[45]

After leaving school, Brosnan became a commercial artist but was introduced to acting by a co-worker who was in a theatre group in the evenings. He left his job for the life of an actor, and entered the Drama Centre in London, where he studied acting for 3 years. Brosnan recalls being "bowled over" by landmark Hollywood films such as Bonnie and Clyde and a bit later, Clint Eastwood's seminal Dirty Harry.
