Humble beginnings
As you can sometimes hear Pierce Brosnan was not born in the USA as many people suspect. Pierce was born in Drogheda, Ireland. That is were he spent his early years. His father was a furniture maker. Nothing indicated Pierce would be one of Ireland`s most recognized people. He droped out of school when he was 16. By the time he was 20, he developed an interest in movies and applied for Theather Studies. From there it took off. He first appeared in ´The Mirror Crack'd' and did several British TV programs.The James Bond era
'Bond.. James Bond' and 'Vodka Martini, Shaken, not stirred'. Two of the most famous lines in movie history. Sean Connery, Rodger Moore and Daniel Craig do a fine job playing James Bond. But no one can do it better than Pierce Brosnan. Of course, we all admire James. He has style, cool cars to play with and is almost always surrounded with stunning woman. But Pierce Brosnan really gave James soul and style. Pierce made 4 appearances as James Bond. The first '007' movie was GoldenEye in 1995. The last one was Die Another Day in 2002. Seven epic years of beining Bond.
