Brendan Gleeson

Brendan Gleeson (1955 - )
==Film Deaths==
*Turbulence (1997) [Stubbs]: Shot in the side by Ray Liotta when Brendan tries to force Michael Harney to open the airplane's hatch, he dies after shooting Michael (his body is later seen as Ray drags him away then again when Ray positions him along with all the slain Marshalls and captain sitting down in various seats).
*The General (1998) [Martin Cahill]: Shot to death by David Wilmot while sitting in his car.
*A.I.: Artificial Intelligence (2001) [Lord Johnson-Johnson]: Possibly killed by the angry crowd, after they turn on him when he tries to destroy Jude Law and Haley Joel Osment - who had been mistaken for a human kid - at his fair (it's unclear whether or not the mob kills him; if they don't, he obviously dies at some point during the passage of millennia while Haley and Jack Angel are trapped at the bottom of the ocean).
*The Tailor of Panama (2001) [Michelangelo 'Mickie' Abraxas]: Commits suicide (off-screen) by shooting himself in the head; his body is shown afterwards when Leonor Varela shows it to Geoffrey Rush.
*28 Days Later (2002) [Frank]: Machine-gunned by a group of soldiers after he becomes infected with the "rage" virus.
*Gangs of New York (2002) [Walter 'Monk' McGinn]: Bludgeoned to death with his own club by Daniel Day-Lewis, after Daniel first throws a meat-cleaver into Brendan's back as Brendan is walking back into his office. Brendan is out of camera frame when Daniel strikes the fatal blow.
*Troy (2004) [Menelaus]: Impaled in the stomach by Eric Bana when he was going to kill Orlando Bloom. His body is burnt by his brother (Brian Cox) (Mythologically inaccurate: he survives the war and returns to Sparta.)
*Kingdom of Heaven (2005) [Raynald of Châtillon]: Throat slit by Ghassan Massoud with a dagger. (In the director's cut, he is then decapitated immediately afterwards with a sword).
*In Bruges (2008) [Ken Daley]: Commits suicide by falling to his death from the tower, after being shot in the neck by Ralph Fiennes, in order to warn Colin Farrell of Ralph's presence in Bruges. He then dies in front of a distraught Colin, after telling him to take his gun to defend himself.
*Perrier's Bounty (2009) [Darren Perrier]: Mauled to death by a pack of attack dogs as he tries to get back into his building.
*Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (2010) [Alastor 'Mad-Eye' Moody]: Killed off-screen with the Avada Kedavra curse during an aerial battle with the Death Eaters; we learn of his death when Domhnall Gleeson informs the others. It was stated in the novel that it was Ralph Fiennes who fired the Avada Kedavra curse at Brendan after Andy Linden fled causing Brendan's lifeless body to fall a thousand feet. His mechanic eye is found place on Imelda Staunton's office door and discover by Daniel Radcliffe.
*The Guard (2011) [Sergeant Gerry Boyle]: Presumably killed in an explosion or burned to death on his boat, as Don Cheadle looks on in shock (it's unclear if he died or just faked his death, so I thought I'd list this just in case).
*Safe House (2012) [David Barlow]: Shot in the chest by Ryan Reynolds after Brendan shoots Denzel Washington.
*Calvary (2014) [Father James Lavelle]: Shot in the side, stomach and head by Chris O'Dowd after Brendan refuses to stop making eye contact with Chris; his body is later seen lying on the beach.
*Edge of Tomorrow (2014) [General Brigham]: Possibly killed in one version of the time loop (off-screen) when Emily Blunt shoots him; we only see Tom Cruise telling Emily they did that in a previous attempt at confronting Brendan.
*Alone in Berlin (2016) [Otto Hampel]: Executed (off-screen) by guillotine in the Plötzensee Prison. We're shown a dropping guillotine blade, and later his and Emma Thompson's deaths are mentioned in the closing text.
*Assassin's Creed (2016) [Joseph Lynch]: Stabbed to death by the guards when they purge the facility of all the patients. 
*Live By Night (2016) [Thomas Coughlin]: Dies off-screen of an unspecified illness. His death is revealed through Ben Affleck's narration and Ben is later shown attending his funeral.
*The Tragedy of Macbeth (2021) [Duncan]: Stabbed in the throat by Denzel Washington whist lying in bed. 
*Riverdance (2021) [The Huntsman]: Fades away from the light.
==Television Deaths==
*The Treaty (1991 TV) [Michael Collins]: Shot to death by an assassin.
*Kidnapped (1995 TV) [Colin Roy Campbell - Red Fox]: Shot in the head by Jonathan Ryan.
*Mr. Mercedes: Jibber-Jibber Chicken Dinner (2017) [Bill Hodges]: Shoulder mauled and ripped open by Harry Treadaway. This is revealed to be a nightmare that Brendan was having.
*The Adventures Of Kitty (2023) [Connor]: Drowns in a storm after making a magical bargain with Fionnula Flanagan, in order to save Lisa Harrigan from dying in childbirth by exchanging his life for hers. He spends his final moments talking to Fionnula before he jumps.
