Dylan Moran – irlandzki komik, aktor i scenarzysta, pracujący zarówno w swojej ojczyźnie, jak i w Wielkiej Brytanii. Występował jako odtwórca roli głównej w serialu Księgarnia Black Books, którego był także współscenarzystą.

Pochodzi z irlandzkiego hrabstwa Meath. Edukację zakończył na szkole średniej, po której przez cztery lata pozostawał bez stałego zajęcia, dorywczo pracując m.in. w kwiaciarni. W 1992 zadebiutował na dublińskiej scenie standupowej. W latach 1993 oraz 1996 zdobywał ważne nagrody na festiwalu w Edynburgu, uważanym za najważniejszą imprezę w środowisku brytyjskiej komedii estradowej. W 1995 został zaproszony przez redakcję The Irish Times do pisania felietonów dla tego dziennika. Współpraca ta trwała trzy kolejne lata. W 1997 odbył pierwszą dużą trasę po Wielkiej Brytanii.

W 1998 zdobył pierwszą poważną rolę telewizyjną, w realizowanym dla BBC Two sitcomie How Do You Want Me? Rok później po raz pierwszy wystąpił w filmie, grając epizodyczną rolę w Notting Hill. Przełom w jego karierze nastąpił w roku 2000, kiedy na antenie Channel 4 zadebiutowała Księgarnia Black Books, serial wymyślony i napisany przez Morana oraz innego Irlandczyka, Grahama Linehana. Moran występował w nim także jako aktor, wcielając się w kluczową dla fabuły postać Bernarda Blacka, neurotycznego Irlandczyka o generalnie bardzo nieprzyjaznym stosunku do innych ludzi, prowadzącego w Londynie tytułową księgarnię. W latach 2001 i 2005 Moran i Linehan zostali dwukrotnie wyróżnieni Nagrodą Telewizyjną BAFTA za najlepszy scenariusz komedii sytuacyjnej.

W 2004 miał swoją premierę jego kolejny program estradowy, z którym występował także poza Wyspami Brytyjskimi – we Włoszech i USA. Kolejne dwie trasy odbył w latach 2005 i 2008, na rok 2011 została zaś zaplanowana jeszcze jedna. Owocem każdej z nich było także wydanie jego występów na DVD. W przeprowadzonym przez Channel 4 plebiscycie znalazł się w gronie 15 najwybitniejszych komików w historii brytyjskiego stand-upu.

Równolegle rozwijał także karierę kinową, występując w filmach The Actors , Wysyp żywych trupów , Tristram Shandy: Wielka ściema , Tell It to the Fishes , Run Fatboy Run oraz A Film with Me in It .

Od 1997 jest żonaty z Elaine. Mają dwoje dzieci. Wikipedia

Dylan Moran: Cytaty po angielsku

“Do you know how fat you are, do you? No, you don't, 'CAUSE YOUR FACE IS AN ISLAND TRAPPED IN A SEA OF FLAB! I would stab you to death… but I can't afford to take the two weeks off work!”

“It's a totally inhospitable place, you shouldn't be here—the sun—you live about three quarters of a mile from it; I've seen insects walking around with kneepads; you fling yourselves into the sea when you're not actually walking around audibly crackling in the heat. And the sea is full of jellyfish, sharks and other things who hate you, but you persist in living here. So you know, it's a jail you live in. It's lovely, you've done wonderful things with it, but you're all still in denial.”

“The other morning, I woke up. I was frightened – I’m always frightened in the morning, I don’t know where I am. But I heard this beautiful reassuring sound, it sounded like my childhood. I thought, what’s that? Is it? Church bells behind the hill? Or, no – it’s an ice cream van, in the rain. It was me, BREATHING!”

“And we all think that we’re very rational and very secular, but we make gods all the time. Everybody went apeshit when Barack Obama got elected. I was delighted. Everybody was thrilled: a sane, rational, intelligent human being in an important office. Great! But his biggest problem is everybody else! Is us! ‘Cause everybody’s in love with him! He stands up there - he’s very convincing and commanding and makes sense - he says: "It’s a difficult time, everyone needs to work together and be realistic about what we need to do..", and all that stuff - and everbody’s looking at him going: "NO! You do it! You’re SUPER JESUS. You’re so handsome when you’re serious. Do you work out?"”

I just thought how old or sick or small do you need to be to need those beans? And it was on a high shelf, you know, you’d be climbing the ladder for days just to get at those four beans.”

“"What do women want?" As though it's really mysterious. As though it's a big deal. All that women want is what anybody wants. You know, friendship and companionship and respect and a certain amount of leadership with submission and a kind of cooperation at all times and pre-emptive empathy and you know, general telepathy. It's no big deal, is it? […] Traditionally, women have been attracted to uniforms. So it's not difficult to know what women want. Fascists - that's really what they're all after!”

“And the thing is woman do have to do all kinds of things themselves. And they lie about it 'cause of all the pressure. Woman go and get their hair made bullet-proof and get the implants.

You know these… And they say: "Oh, l enjoy. l did it for me, you know. l like the fact that it takes me 45 minutes to get in or out of a chair." l've always wanted to look like a prawn who's being airlifted. lt's a total lie. That's not the kind of thing a person does for themselves. You know what l did for me? I had an eclair inside an eclair. That's the kind of thing you do for yourself.”

“You’d be alone in the kitchen and twilight would be dwindling, and you could hear the far off cries of the other children playing nearby. You’d be alone in the kitchen because it was your special treat time, where the jelly would come out just for you, and your mother would appear at your side just as a vision of Laura Ashley print dress, smelling of magnolias and biscuits and put the jelly in front of you, and you would pull your chair in. Then the old fashioned bar of ice cream would come down, the one that had to be cut with a breadknife before the two sides were flanked with wafers. You would lift your little spoon up excitedly and winkle out that first divet of black jelly… AND THEN THE CAGE COMES DOWN! The cage with the Japanese fighting spiders inside, your mother strikes a match off her forearm and tells you to dance in the front room for money… You, you never forget that shit, I mean it never goes away.”

“Perfume is a good example of a product gone all wrong. When I was a child, it was a semi-exotic thing and it was called something stupid like "Fleur de Fleur" and you would give it to your mother or aunty at Christmas and it was advertised by some dopey looking woman in a field of sunflowers and she looked like she'd been hit by a tractor because she was going *flails with arms*. She couldn’t just get over how nice she smelled. Now, because we’re so jaded, we’ve consumed so much, our attention can only be grabbed in a violent way. So it’s always advertised by these constipated, exo-keletal bitches who are sneering at you and it’s called something horrible like "Homicide"! "Dysentery!"”

“Men don’t know anything! Men don’t know when their lives became so entirely awful, when everyone else turned into such a tosser! A man does not know how he came by the half a pie he is holding in his hand. And scientists—those frauds!—seize on this, and try to use it as proof of the mysteries of human consciousness and the unknowable nature of the brain, which is rubbish! The brain is the simplest organ in the body. It only has three bits. There’s the front bit, which is the bit you scratch when you come in at half one in the morning, and the person you live with says, “Where the fuck were you?””

I'm opening fish fingers can't you see?! You come in here, walking on the floor - breathing the air like it's yours - talking and talking and I'm doing something! Look they've fallen on the floor, are you happy?! Are you happy now?! Every time I try anjd do something for myself, you carbonize and then shit on my dreams...
