'Peaky Blinders' Season 5 cast news: Meet Brian Gleeson, the famed wingman from 'The Bisexual'

The red-headed, blue-eyed actor is set to enter the dingy Small Heath where Thomas Shelby (Cillian Murphy) will establish a new rulership with his newfound identity as an MP
UPDATED MAR 12, 2019

Season five of 'Peaky Blinders' is set to see a plethora of Irish actors join the cast as Glaswegian, and the Gleeson family's rising star, Brian Gleeson, is one of them. However, let us stop you right there before you commit the mistake of pronouncing Brian in the usual British way. No, this Brian is different and it goes like the Irish pronoun Breen, and with that, the red-headed, blue-eyed actor is set to enter the dingy Small Heath where Thomas (aka Tommy) Shelby (Cillian Murphy) will establish a new rulership with his newfound identity as a Member of the Parliament. 

Brian might be a rare name, yet to be discovered by the big bosses in the industry, but his family is one of the most renowned acting dynasties of Ireland.
