Colin is one of two children of Mary and Con O’Donoghue, and was raised in a Roman Catholic manner. After matriculating from Dundalk Grammar School, he enrolled at Dublin’s Gaiety School of Acting, and subsequently made his on-camera acting debut in 2001, when he appeared in an episode of “Rebel Heart” TV mini-series, while in 2002 he starred in the TV movie “Home for Christmas”, for which he was honored with the Irish Film and Television Award as the Best New Talent. These involvements eased Colin O’Donoghue’s dive into the world of acting, and also provided the basis for his current net worth.
In the course of the next several years, Colin honed his acting skills primarily in television series, which included appearances in recurring roles in “Proof”, “Fair City” and “The Clinic”. In 2009 he portrayed the character of Duke Philip of Bavaria in an episode of Showtime’s TV series “The Tudors”, while in 2011 he made his Hollywood debut in the horror drama movie “The Rite”, starring as Michael Kovak opposite Anthony Hopkins. This was followed by an appearance in the critically panned Sci-Fi horror movie “Storage 24”. However, all these ventures helped Colin O’Donoghue to add sums to his net worth.
The real breakthrough in O’Donoghue’s acting career occurred later in 2012, when he was cast for the recurring role of Captain Killian ‘Hook’ Jones in ABC’s hit television fantasy drama series “Once Upon a Time”, in 130 episodes so far through the show’s six seasons.
