Farrell was born in Dublin, the son of Rita (née Monaghan), a housewife, and Eamon Farrell, a footballer who played for Shamrock Rovers F.C. and owned a company importing and exporting canned goods in Dublin City. When he was ten, the Farrells moved to Castleknock, a Dublin suburb. Farrell unsuccessfully auditioned for the Irish group Boyzone when he was still unknown. Farrell attended The Gaiety School of Acting, but dropped out and was cast in the part of Danny Byrne on Ballykissangel, a BBC television drama. The character of Bullseye is that of an assassin with perfect accuracy and deep-rooted pride of it. It was marked by controversy for portraying the ancient conqueror as bisexual, and received criticism from some historians for its portrayal of the ancient Persians, though others praised it for its accuracy in these regards as well. The film received positive reviews, despite being released in only 811 theaters worldwide and having a relatively low box office gross. It received a very limited theatrical release and was not a financial success.
