Special thanks to George Byrne for his support of this site.

Thanks to Lorna, we have another interview. This scan is from the 29 March Daily Express.

Going for the Byrne
“Echo Point was very much in the vein of Home And Away and made by the same station that did Neighbours,” she says. “But we only lasted six months and we may have been a tax write-off. It was disappointing at that age because my heroine when I was growing up was Kylie Minogue. When I was 10, I went to all her pop concerts and I always wanted to be like Charlene, the character she played in Neighbours.” Now she thinks that the shock of having to go back to an ordinary school instead of following the star trail of Minogue may have been a character-building experience worth having under her belt. “I was 15 and impressionable and thought I was pretty important for about five minutes until the show ended and I was back at school doing homework. It was a good, early crash course in the perils of fame.” news.scotsman.com

Rose Byrne Knows the Future
Q: Is this your first time in Ireland?
I’ve been here once before, I drove around the country for ten days with my partner about five years ago. We went to Limerick, Galway, Cork, Kerry and Dublin. It was beautiful, we had the most terrific weather at the ring of Kerry, it was like we were at the Greek islands or something. movies.ie

I have a lighter side…
Rose said she’s keen to do something lighter in the future: “I have tended to have those darker roles in films and I think it’s a case of having to educate people that I do have a lighter side but it’s a difficult process in Hollywood where you have to knock a lot of people over the head to prove it.” thisisbristol.co.uk

Also, uploaded the latest BBC Podcast interview photos.

As usual, all things Damages can be viewed and downloaded at Instinctive!

We would like to issue a formal apology to Rose for misrepresentation by having her full name posted here (information from imdb.com) as Rose Judith Esther Byrne. She has formally announced in an interview with Paul Byrne that her real name is Mary Rose Byrne! You can view the interview here. Thank you, Roberta, for the heads up.

Additionally, there are a variety of new photos of Rose from various interviews that I’ve placed in the gallery. I still have to find homes for them…

With big thank as usual to Jody, I’ve uploaded the latest screencaps of Damages! Sorry for not posting this sooner. Also, a big thanks to Jody for helping out with the posts these past couple of weeks. It has been very much appreciated!

“I don’t know, I guess you get cast in one thing, and then it’s pretty straightforward,” says Byrne, discussing her recent streak of gloom-and-doom projects. “They see you and go, ‘Wow, she can do that, let’s get her to do this,’ and then it’s just up to you as a performer, your agents and your ambitions to be seen in other lights. I’ve really enjoyed the darker stuff like working with Danny Boyle on SUNSHINE and 28 WEEKS LATER, or with Wolfgang Petersen on TROY. I’ve been lucky. But, yeah, I do tend to get these ‘end of the world’ kind of things—I’m the girl to come to.”

It’s been a long day of Toronto press interviews for Knowing – Byrne’s new movie with Nicolas Cage, which opened yesterday – and it comes hard on the heels of four days of the same in New York.

It’s quite a leap in casting for the 29-year-old Byrne, best known as lawyer Ellen Parsons on TV’s Damages, starring Glenn Close.

On the big screen, Byrne has gone from a sexy and scheming mortician in Just Buried to single mom of a 10-year-old in the sci-fi thriller Knowing.

“Really different,” Byrne says of the characters, her native Australian accent jarring a bit, coming from an actor who does American accents so flawlessly on film and TV. “That role in Just Buried was so fun. She was such a card – that was bent – but very different to Knowing in every sense of the word.”

Rest of the interview can be found here.

Australian actress Rose Byrne, 29, has the unusual distinction of being in two recent movies that involve a common enemy – the sun – threatening life on Earth. First, she appeared in “Sunshine,” “Slumdog Millionaire” director Danny Boyle’s 2007 sci-fi thriller, and now she stars alongside Nicolas Cage in Alex Proyas’ “Knowing,” an apocalyptic tale involving a string of numbers, a pair of single parents and the newest and hottest global menace, solar flares.

“I know,” Byrne says, chuckling over the phone from New York, where she’s lived for the past two years, “Maybe it’s because I’m a Leo?”

Leo is a “fiery” sign, she notes.

A huge thank you to Bill for the heads up on these wonderful interviews!

Thanks to Lorna and Cariel we have two new articles and some photos of Rose up in the gallery, even a comic! So be sure to check them out!
