Born and raised in Castleknock in the Republic of Ireland, Colin is the son of former football player, Eamon Farrell and nephew of Tommy Farrell. Both Tommy and Eamon Farrell played for the Irish Football Club, Shamrock Rovers in the 1960’s.

It was Colin's early teenage ambition to follow in his father and uncle's footsteps, however his interest soon turned towards acting and he joined the Gaiety School of Drama in Dublin. Before completing his course, Colin landed a starring role in Deirdre Purcell’s miniseries Falling for a Dancer, a starring role in the BBC series Ballykissangel, and a featured role in Tim Roth's directorial debut, The War Zone, followed soon after.
