He has more than 120 acting credits to his name - everything from Jane Eyre's Mr Rochester, a Russian president in Sum of All Fears and Albus Dumbledore's brother in the Harry Potter series.
Not bad for a boy from Belfast who was offered his very first acting role in 1981's Excalibur after meeting director John Boorman in a pub.
Ciarán Hinds is 72 now, but not slowing down. After winning critical acclaim for his portrayal as the grandfather in Kenneth Branagh's 2021 Oscar-winning movie Belfast he's worked on five more films and six TV series.
One of those is about to hit screens here - Australian drama series The Narrow Road to the Deep North which premieres this Friday, 18th April on Prime Video.
It's based on the book of the same name, in which Ciarán plays the main character - Dorrigo Evans - in his later years as he charts his journey from prisoner of war to revered surgeon and reluctant war hero.
He also tells Kathryn about his work in New Zealand on the yet-to-be-released Netflix mini-series East of Eden, which caught the country's attention when filming took place in Oamaru.
