Born in Burton-on-Trent in 1974, Considine made a powerfully unsettling impression as the deceptive, dangerous misfit Morell in Shane Meadows' A Room for Romeo Brass (1999), and followed this with the sweet-tempered Alfie in Last Resort (d. Pawel Pawlikowski, 2001). Not conventionally handsome, he is a charismatic performer, who has been rushed from film to film, for directors including David Kane (Born Romantic, 2000), Michael Winterbottom (24 Hour Party People, 2002) and Jim Sheridan (In America, 2002).
