Who is Killian Scott? Meet Kaos star playing Orpheus

As a fan of Irish storytelling and captivating performances, I can confidently say that Killian Scott is quickly becoming one of my favorite actors to watch. His portrayal of Orpheus in Netflix’s Kaos has me on the edge of my seat, eagerly awaiting a potential second season.

Irish actor Killian Scott is having a moment.

At present, he features prominently in Netflix’s show Kaos, portraying the character of Orpheus, a struggling musician who has fallen on hard times. The fantasy series has been well-received and its viewers are eagerly anticipating the possibility of another season – an event that is growing scarce on Netflix – given the series’ suspenseful finale.

Who’s this Irish actor we see enchanting viewers in the show inspired by Greek mythology? What else has he done, where can we find him on social media?

Read on to find out.

Who is Killian Scott?

Killian Scott was born in Ireland and grew up in Sandymount, Dublin.

Among six siblings he has, there’s a former politician named Eoghan Murphy who influenced Scott through his role in their school’s Hamlet performance, and also a playwright called Colin Murphy.

Scott went on to study English and Philosophy before moving to London to study at the Drama Centre.

He first gained significant recognition from his role in the Irish gangster series “Love/Hate,” where he portrayed the character of Tommy from Dublin. More recently, he has appeared in Marvel’s “Secret Invasion.”

His part in Netflix’s Kaos, however, has certainly introduced him to a wider audience.

“What’s the truth about deities? Am I similar to Orpheus in my beliefs? Are they existent? Essentially, what sort of world do we inhabit?”

How old is Killian Scott?

Killian Scott is 39 years old.

He was born on 10th July 1985.

What nationality is Killian Scott?

Killian Scott is Irish.

He was born in Sandymount, Dublin.

Why did Killian Scott change his name?

As a movie enthusiast, I’d like to share an interesting tidbit: While Killian Scott is the stage name that rings in our cinematic world, his real identity at birth was Cillian Damien Murphy. Remarkably, another renowned Irish actor, Cillian Murphy (yes, the same one who plays Tommy the gangster), shares a striking resemblance with my mentioned namesake.

The actor himself explained why he changed his name to avoid any confusion.

“Before I came along, a well-known and remarkable actor named Cillian Murphy had already embarked on an acting career. Interestingly, his real name is also Cillian Murphy, but he decided to change it to Scott, as advised by his mother.”

He told me that she was the one who suggested the name. His relatives, on his father’s side, reside in Argentina, he clarified.

In the play I took part in, I needed to alter my stage name to avoid confusion with another actor named Cillian Murphy. If our names had been mixed up, he might have scolded me, which was something I preferred to avoid. To make it easier for the audience to pronounce, I switched the ‘C’ to a ‘K’.

What has Killian Scott previously starred in?

In a notable turn, Scott played the part of Tommy Daly, a Dublin gangster, in the Irish series called Love/Hate that ran from 2010 to 2014.

Additionally, he has been featured in shows such as “Call the Midwife”, “Strike” (in which he portrayed DI Eric Wardle), and the American series “Damnation”, taking on the main character there.

Apart from that, he appeared in Dublin Murders as Detective Rob Reilly and in Secret Invasion. Later on, he got cast as Orpheus in Kaos.
