About the honoree, Gabriel Bye
Inteationally celebrated actor Gabriel Bye has worked extensively in the worlds of film, literature and theatre. A longtime friend of The American Ireland Fund he has supported numerous cultural programs and initiatives, especially the Irish Arts Centre. His philanthropic support extends also to the Irish Hospice Foundation, of which he is patron.
The American Ireland Fund is proud to support their work which is transforming the last jouey of many. Bo in Dublin, Ireland, as the first of six children, Gabriel discovered his passion for acting later in his life. He attended University College Dublin, where he studied archeology and linguistics, and became proficient in Irish. His careers were as eclectic as the characters he has portrayed on the screen. Before becoming an actor, he worked as an archaeologist, a cook, a bullfighter and a Spanish schoolteacher. He began his acting career on stage with The Focus Theatre and the Abbey Theatre in Dublin, then later joined the Royal Court and the Royal National Theatre in London. Bye received the Honorary Patronage of the University Philosophical Society, of Trinity College, Dublin in 2007. He was awarded an honorary degree in late 2007 by the National University of Ireland, Galway, in recognition of his “outstanding contribution to Irish and inteational film.” His film and television appearances have won critical acclaim, especially his roles in The Usual Suspects and In Treatment for which he won a Golden Globe in 2009.
