Colin Farrell will be honoured with the Zurich Film Festival's (ZFF) Golden Icon Award next month.
Entertainment trade publication The Hollywood Reporter says Farrell is being recognised for his performance in the upcoming psychological thriller Ballad of a Small Player and his career achievements.
The Dubliner will receive the award at the festival on 27 September and will attend the gala premiere of Ballad of a Small Player.
He will also take part in a ZFF Masters discussion the following day.
Ballad of a Small Player is to be released in Irish cinemas on Friday 17 October and on Netflix on Wednesday 29 October.
The film teams Farrell with Edward Berger, the director of the Oscar-winning Conclave and All Quiet on the Western Front.
"When his past and his debts start to catch up with him, a high-stakes gambler laying low in Macau encounters a kindred spirit who might just hold the key to his salvation," says Netflix of the upcoming film.
Ballad of a Small Player is based on the Lawrence Osborne book The Ballad of a Small Player and is adapted for the screen by Rowan Joffe (Tin Star, 28 Weeks Later).
It also stars Fala Chen, Deanie Ip, Alex Jennings, and Tilda Swinton.
The Zurich Film Festival runs from 25 September to 5 October.
