Aran Murphy is having quite a month, as he co-stars on not one, but two HBO shows — “Youth” and “War” — and plays one of the leads of Taika Waititi’s dystopian film “Klara and the Sun,” set to be released on Oct. 23. But if you think you’ve seen the 19-year-old actor before, it could be because of his strong resemblance to his Oscar-winning father, Cillian Murphy. “I don’t even think we look that much alike, but people seem to think otherwise,” the younger Murphy tells Variety.
