Kieran O'Brien

Kieran O'Brien was born on 1973 in  Rochdale, England, United Kingdom, is Actor, Producer, Director. Born in Lancashire, England, Kieran O'Brien first rose to prominence as a child star on the BBC series Gruey (1988). He then enjoyed further success with a recurring role on the ITV series Children's Ward (1989). O'Brien continued acting into his adulthood, appearing regularly in Coronation Street (1960) and Cracker (1993).In 1999, he appeared in a full-frontal nude scene in Virtual Sexuality (1999). He appeared nude again in Burn It (2003) and then starred in 9 Songs (2004), a film by Michael Winterbottom which would push the boundaries of just how explicit a mainstream feature could be. Winterbottom knew O'Brien was the perfect casting opposite American model Margo Stilley, as he was a young actor both confident and well-endowed. He was required to be seen with a full erection, receiving a footjob from Stilley in a bath, performing vaginal sex with her and receiving oral sex from her. He also became the first mainstream British actor to be seen ejaculating on screen, while Stilley stimulated his penis with her hand, in a scene which was left uncut by the censors.Although O'Brien's role in such a controversial and groundbreaking sexually explicit film seems likely to be what people will always identify him with, he has continued to act, mainly in supporting roles on British television.

Famous Quotes:

"People who say they find it offensive are liars. If they say they find it shocking, I don't believe them. It's only sex. To me they were just scenes we were shooting, to be honest, and I was surprised how ordinary and how natural it was. But it's a different thing for a girl than it is for a lad. I didn't fancy her—I felt protective towards her. On set she was the only woman with a crew of four lads. I know how difficult it was for her. You can't get away from the fact she's a young girl."
