Pierce Brosnan will be honoured with an Oscar Wilde Award at the US-Ireland Alliance's annual event, which will be held on 7 March at Bad Robot, the production company of JJ Abrams and Katie McGrath.
The Navan man is a two-time Golden Globe Award nominee and is best known for playing James Bond in four movies between 1995 to 2002 - Goldeneye, Tomorrow Never Dies, The World Is Not Enough and Die Another Day.
He can currently be seen in director Phillip Noyce’s hitman thriller, Fast Charlie, and recently finished production on Four Letters of Love, based on the Niall Williams’ bestselling novel of the same name, and The Last Rifleman which is inspired by a true story of a World War II veteran living in a care home in Northern Ireland.
Most recently, Pierce starred opposite Adam Devine, Ellen Barkin and Michael Rooker in the Netflix action-comedy, The Out-Laws.
US-Ireland Alliance founder Trina Vargo said, "The success of Irish actors in the film industry in recent years has highlighted the remarkable talent in Ireland. We’re thrilled to be honouring one of the most talented Irish legends, who paved the way."
Brosnan’s other recent big screen credits include Black Adam, Cinderella and Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again.
Dubliner Richard Baneham, a two-time Academy Award winning VFX Supervisor for his work on the original Avatar and last year for Avatar: The Way Of Water, will also be honoured at this year’s Oscar Wilde event.
