Years before Murphy made a name for himself as an actor, he was a law student at University College Cork who performed rock gigs in his free time. According to Marie Claire, Murphy met McGuinness after one of his band's shows in 1996. At the time, Murphy was just beginning his acting career by performing in a play called "Disco Dogs." The production became such a huge hit that it toured around the world for 18 months.
In a 2016 interview with The Guardian, Murphy recalled the tour as "the most important period" of his life not only because he met his "closest friends" through it, but because it played a big part in his relationship with McGuinness as well. "It was around the same time I met my wife. She came on tour with us. It was so exciting," he said. "20 years ago or whatever it was — we were all just kids, trying to find our way — but such a special, special time."
