Murphy co-stars on two HBO shows

The 19-year-old actor is currently filming for the series Youth and War. He also plays a lead role in Taika Waititi's film Klara and the Sun, which is scheduled for release on October 23.

Character involves troubled teenager

In both productions, Murphy portrays a difficult teenager dealing with complex family relationships during his parents' divorce. He plays Rauri in Youth, a university dropout who returns home after rumors about a drunken incident suggest he might be a predator.

Actor addresses public resemblance

Murphy notes that audiences often think he looks like his Oscar-winning father Cillian Murphy. He states that people seem to believe they look alike even though he does not think their physical similarities are strong.
