Which character is played by Noah Taylor in Peaky Blinders?

Noah Taylor plays Darby Sabini in Peaky Blinders.

Sabini is a British Italian gang leader based in London and appears primarily in series 2. His organization controls racecourse protection rackets and operates in the criminal world around Camden Town. The character becomes one of Tommy Shelby’s major rivals when Tommy attempts to expand the Peaky Blinders’ influence beyond Birmingham.

In the series, Sabini is involved in a violent struggle with Tommy, Alfie Solomons, and other London gangs. His reputation is tied to the real Charles “Darby” Sabini, an Italian-born London gangster who was prominent in the interwar racecourse underworld. The television version dramatizes and reshapes that history for Tommy’s fictional story.

The answer is often confused with Billy Kimber, played by Charlie Creed-Miles, or Jimmy McCavern, played by Brian Gleeson. Barney Thomason is another character from the series, portrayed by Cosmo Jarvis. Noah Taylor’s Sabini is distinguished by his London base, Italian gang connections, and control of racecourse rackets.
