With Michael Fassbender starring in what seems like eight or nine new releases each week, we thought it might be time to offer an early career retrospective on the 35-year-old Irishman. In the half-decade since he first broke into film, the Fass has emerged as one of the most consistent performers in both indie art-house fare and big-budget franchise flicks, earning a Golden Globe nomination, commendations from George Clooney on the size of his equipment, and the universally recognised nickname ‘Fassmember’ for his troubles. Not bad. Not bad at all.
