The legendary roles of Robert Carlyle

Robert Carlyle’s latest project, The Legend of Barney Thomson, might see him emerge at last from Begbie’s shadow, that is until next year when Danny Boyle’s adaptation of Porno hits the big screen.
The 54-year-old Glaswegian shot to prominence on the back of his frightening performance as the psychotic character from 1996’s Trainspotting, and even today it remains his most famous piece of work.
