- ↑ Rising to the challenge - actor Brian Gleeson by Meagher, Jon on Irish Independent (January 3, 2016): "It's one thing to have to emerge from the shadow of a successful, celebrated actor father. It's quite another to also have a brother who is fast becoming a really big star. But Brian Gleeson insists that he's never felt envious of the remarkable success of father Brendan and brother Domhnall and is content to simply concentrate on his own career, which is certainly going in the right direction. Still, it wouldn't be unnatural if the 28-year-old Dubliner felt just the tiniest sliver of envy every now and again - not least now that Domhnall's latest movie, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, is smashing all kinds of box office records."
