As a DC fan with a soft spot for transformative performances, I can confidently say that Colin Farrell‘s metamorphosis into Oswald Cobblepot, or Oz Cobb as we fans prefer to call him, has left me utterly spellbound. His dedication to the role was so profound that even his co-stars, like Cristin Milioti, didn’t get a peek at the “real Colin” until filming wrapped up.
Fans of DC are astounded by Colin Farrell’s portrayal of Oswald Cobblepot, or The Penguin, in both “The Batman” and its spinoff series – and it’s clear why. Farrell immerses himself so deeply into the character of Oz (and the makeup required for the role) that even his fellow cast members, such as Cristin Milioti who plays Sofia Falcone, didn’t get a glimpse of “the real Colin” until after filming was complete.
Check out the astonishing transformation showcased in this viral video comparing “Colin Farrell” and “Oz Cobb”. The likeness is so striking, especially when you hear Oz Cobb’s voice mimicking Colin Farrell’s Irish accent, it’s almost eerie: a blend of familiarity and disbelief.

Cristin Milioti shared in an interview with CinemaBlend, “Yes, he brought a real character to life; I spent a whole year with ‘Oz’, and I rarely saw Colin Farrell without makeup. In fact, I’ve only seen him without makeup three times. It was astonishing to get to know this individual. When I hear his voice or see him in his natural form, it feels surreal because I associate those eyes and that voice with someone I spent a year staring at. So, in a way, I feel like I truly know that person.
Farrell’s performance in The Penguin has already catapulted him to the top of the (current) list for the 2025 Emmy Awards category of “Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series”. The 2024 Emmy in that category was won by actor Hiroyuki Sanada, for his peformance in Disney-FX’s Shogun – a show that is probably The Penguin’s biggest rival for the crown of “Best TV Show of 2024.” The fact that the conversation is about a culturally-rich series based on an acclaimed novel, and another that’s based on a lower-tier comic book character, only proves that quality, prestige-level television can come in a wide variety of forms.
