Pierce Brendan Brosnan, OBE (born May 16, 1953 or May 16, 1951) (most sources say 1953 including Brosnan's own website and a birth certificate that Brosnan's agent posted online, however many of Brosnan's friends and family have said in interviews that Brosnan was actually born in 1951) is an Irish film actor and producer. He is best known for portraying the James Bond secret agent character in four spy films: GoldenEye
, Tomorrow Never Dies
, The World Is Not Enough
, and Die Another Day. He is credited with reviving the James Bond film series after the two critically acclaimed, but commercially unsuccessful Bond films of
Timothy Dalton.
Pierce Brosnan was born in Navan, County Meath or Drogheda, County Louth, (depending on the source) Republic of Ireland and was raised in England. In the mid-1980s, he became a television star in the USA as the eponymous character of the NBC detective series Remington Steele.
Brosnan's first wife, the Australian actress Cassandra Harris, died of ovarian cancer, in 1991, after eleven years of marriage. In 2001, Brosnan remarried, to American journalist Keely Shaye Smith.
In July 2003, Queen Elizabeth II awarded Brosnan an honourary OBE for his "outstanding contribution to the British film industry". As an Irish citizen, he is ineligible to receive the full OBE honour, which is awarded only to a British subject.
On September 23, 2004, Pierce Brosnan was naturalised as a US citizen. He is the father of three American sons, and has lived in the United States for more than twenty years.
