Meet Anthony Boyle, the Irish actor who has captured hearts and screens as Arthur Guinness in Netflix's new sensation, House of Guinness. This Belfast-born talent, aged 31, steps into the shoes of the eldest Guinness sibling, bringing life to the brewing empire's heir in a narrative that traces the Guinness family's saga post the patriarch Benjamin Guinness's demise. Premiering on September 25, the show has quickly become a fan-favorite, with Boyle's mesmerizing performance and a particularly steamy bath scene leaving audiences wanting more.
“Anthony Boyle's portrayal of Arthur Guinness is both riveting and unforgettable,” a fan enthusiastically commented online.
Before enchanting viewers in House of Guinness, Boyle was no stranger to the limelight. His previous appearances in Netflix's hit series Derry Girls laid the foundation for his rapid ascent in the entertainment world. Just last year, he showcased his versatility with roles in four major productions: Apple TV+'s Manhunt, Disney+'s Shardlake and Say Nothing, and the high-profile Masters of the Air alongside stars like Austin Butler and Callum Turner. Now, whispers around Hollywood suggest he's in contention for the next James Bond, possibly sharing the screen with heavyweights like Henry Cavill and Tom Holland.
Anthony Boyle's journey from a childhood spent in a wheelchair due to a bone condition to an award-winning actor is nothing short of inspiring. Born in 1994 in Belfast, Northern Ireland, Boyle turned his early challenges into strengths, using his keen observation skills to craft his acting prowess. By 16, despite being expelled from school for undisclosed reasons, his passion for film and acting was undeterred. He began auditioning, landing roles in what he humorously describes as "the worst productions you've ever seen." Yet, these experiences laid the groundwork for his current success, proving that determination and talent can overcome any hurdle.
