Adrian Dunbar

Dunbar made his bow as a screenwriter (co-authoring with director Peter Chelsom) with the pleasantly whimsical Anglo-Irish comedy "Hear My Song" (1991), based on the real-life case of Josef Locke. He also co-starred, as a somewhat inept con artist and nightclub owner who reforms by going on an earnest quest for a tax-evading tenor. Dunbar appeared with Aidan Quinn and Robin Wright in "The Playboys" (1992) and was critically lauded as a determined IRA assassin in Neil Jordan's "The Crying Game" (1992). He courted Natasha Richardson in "Widow's Peak" (1994) and appeared in three 1995 releases, "Cruel Train," "Innocent Lies" and the 1930s-era "Richard III." On TV, Dunbar has appeared in the seventh "Inspector Morse" installment (PBS, 1994), the A&E movie "Cracker: The Mad Woman in the Attic" (1994) and as Emma Thompson's unsympathetic husband in the ghostly "The Blue Boy" (PBS, 1994).
