Barry Keoghan is an Irish actor who played the traumatized teenager George in 'Dunkirk' and subsequently became one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation through 'The Killing of a Sacred Deer', 'The Banshees of Inisherin', and 'Saltburn'.
Keoghan's George — a teenage volunteer who dies from a head injury accidentally caused by a shell-shocked soldier — is 'Dunkirk's most morally complex casualty: innocent, volunteer, killed by the psychological damage of war rather than the enemy.
