Pierce Brendan Brosnan was born on May 16, 1953 in Drogheda, County Louth, Ireland. After an unsettled childhood, Brosnan moved to London, where he joined an experimental theater group and studied at the Drama Centre. After several stage roles in London, he moved to Los Angeles, where he was offered the lead in the detective series Remington Steele, which debuted in 1982. Brosnan won over American television audiences with his Remington Steele performance, which brought deserved attention to his good looks and charm. Viewers tuned in to catch the show??s latest mystery and watch the sparks fly between the two lead characters, played by Brosnan and his co-star, Stephanie Zimbalist. After starring in four James Bond films, Brosnan decided it was time to pass the baton: Actor Daniel Craig took over the part in 2006—four years after the release of Die Another Day—in a remake of the first Bond picture, Casino Royale. Outside of playing the smooth but deadly superspy, Brosnan has tackled several dramatic and comedic roles. He has appeared in such films as 1999's The Thomas Crown Affair, with Rene Russo; 2004's Laws of Attraction, starring alongside Julianne Moore; and 2005's The Matador, with Greg Kinnear, among other big-screen productions. Since the comedy smash Mrs. Doubtfire was released in 1993, media reports have speculated on a potential sequel—in which Brosnan would most likely appear.
