Murphy wants roles in smaller films

London: Irish actor Cillian Murphy wants to star in "smaller films" shot closer to his home here. The reason is his family life.

The 36-year-old is known for his portrayal of Jonathan Crane better known as Scarecrow in Christopher Nolan`s `Batman` trilogy. He recently reprised his role in the latest movie `The Dark Knight Rises`, but he isn`t keen on being in anymore big movies for a while, reports contactmusic.com. "I have lots of friends that live in Los Angeles, and they love it. I just feel like I`m European, and I want to do theatre, and I want to do TV, and I want to do smaller films, and I love the big studio pictures, but I want to be near my family. It`s just a priority," said Murphy. He will be next seen in Rodrigo Cortes` thriller `Red Lights`. IANS
