From Edinburgh theatre to Trainspotting
The Scottish actor behind Spud and a wide range of screen roles.
Two roles in one story
Ewen Bremner is a Scottish actor from Edinburgh whose work spans theatre, television and film. He has credited youth theatre with giving him an early opportunity to pursue acting.
Before Danny Boyle’s film Trainspotting, Bremner played Mark Renton in a stage adaptation at Edinburgh’s Traverse Theatre. For the 1996 film he took a different role: Daniel “Spud” Murphy.
He returned as Spud in T2 Trainspotting in 2017. The sequel revisits the character years later, giving Bremner another opportunity to explore him beyond the first film.
His later screen work includes Wonder Woman alongside other film and television roles. The links below show films in the FLM.RED database rather than his complete credits.
