SUPERNATURAL: Nightmare logic

A few months ago I made the move from Belfast, Ireland to Vancouver B.C., and I’m really delighted that making that decision is starting to pay off. Recently I’ve been working on the legendary TV show Supernatural. It’s a show close to my own heart as my Mum used to binge watch it while sheContinue reading “SUPERNATURAL: Nightmare logic”

The seamless, frictionless life of a Soft Border Patrol…

With the airing of new BBC1 comedy Soft Border Patrol next weekend (Friday 2 March 2018) this is probably the most excited – along with the most nervous! – I’ve been about a show on which I have worked. I play one of the leads in the mockumentary (produced by The Comedy Unit), about how aContinue reading “The seamless, frictionless life of a Soft Border Patrol…”

The Truth about Wonder Woman

I had the privilege of playing the role of William Marston, the creator of Wonder Woman, in this show, Robert Kirkman’s Secret History Of Comics. Filmed in Canada earlier this year for AMC, it has been a perfect start to my new career adventure over on that side of the world. It was an eye-openingContinue reading “The Truth about Wonder Woman”

Fractured City…

Fractured City is to be screened at the QFT as part of a charity event, http://www.geraldinesjourney.com, this Saturday at 2pm. I worked on this last year with an amazing cast that included film industry stalwarts like Gerard McSorley & Martin McCann. I met director Sean Murray after seeing his first short film ‘Coco’. After sharingContinue reading “Fractured City…”

This Fall…

Early this year I had the pleasure of working on the final season of one of the most exciting TV shows to be produced here, The Fall. I play the role of Michael Ritchie opposite Jamie Dornan, Gillian Anderson and Krister Henriksson. It’s due out later this year, I can’t say too much more other than it’s going to beContinue reading “This Fall…”

Galavant

It’s been a long time since I updated my blog, but I am thankful to report that it’s because I have been busy! And on Sunday 17th of January, I’m going to be starring in episode 5 (Dwarves vs Giants) of hit comedy/musical Galavant, which airs on ABC and is now in its second season. Although GalavantContinue reading “Galavant”

HALO: NIGHTFALL…

Working on Halo Nightfall was definitely a job of ‘firsts’ for me. I got my first experience on a television sci-fi show, first time working with a green screen and first time working on a spaceship! (Yes, you read that right – a spaceship!) It was very, very different from anything I’ve ever worked on before. I had to have greatContinue reading “HALO: NIGHTFALL…”

A Star Studded High-Rise

As the first images were released for Ben Wheatleys’ screen adaptation of the JJ Ballard novel High-Rise I thought I’d share a bit about my time working on it. It was probably the most star studded job I’ve ever worked on. I was so glad my wardrobe fitting was before I actually shot something, asContinue reading “A Star Studded High-Rise”

Shooting for Socrates is Here!

This week sees the UK premiere of Shooting For Socrates at the Belfast Film Festival before it goes on general release on 12 June. It’s going to be an exciting night for me personally – not only for the film – but, as a football fan, at the prospect of meeting some of the players who areContinue reading “Shooting for Socrates is Here!”

He decides to find a cure andContinue reading “To Lose Control now online…”
