Paddy Considine is an English actor, filmmaker, and musician. You probably know him best from his roles in Cinderella Man, Hot Fuzz, and the Jason Bourne films.

In 2011, Considine learned that he has autism. He told The Guardian, “When I started off acting, I was always portrayed as being angry and I wasn’t angry,” says Considine. “I was just ill, in a way. I wasn’t diagnosed with this, I didn’t know what was going on. I was becoming more detached. But I always knew I wasn’t that dark guy they were talking about.”
