While starring in smaller films or having smaller roles in larger films, Cillian has been fairly unknown to the public, despite his critical acclaim. It has been his more recent work with director Christopher Nolan in Inception and the Batman trilogy that is bringing him more public awareness.

On his reluctance (and avoidance) talking about anything personal, most notably his family, with the press: "If you behave like a celebrity, then people will treat you like a celebrity, and if you don't, they won't. There's not much to write about me in the tabloids."
