I’m trying to work out whether that’s a biscuit or a roll of masking tape or possibly dental floss.

I’m a complete Philippine when it comes to such matters, but Travolta in ‘get shorty’ is the greatest thing since a relatively fresh faced @glenshane swapped boots for tights in trinneres d’socs hamlet…

It’s all coming out now.

Shur that was already out…someone posted the black and white photo (might have been me)

Next you’ll be telling us that you’re the spit of Kenneth Branagh.

His Mom is Jeramie Rain. His father is Richard Dreyfuss.

That is classic Jack you’d have to say.

Gwyneth Palttrow appears away with the faeries

Would the Fair City actors be happy with their lot? A tough gig for 90% of actors I’d imagine. I would guess most actors are jobbing actors unless you are one of the lucky few to get a big pay out from a Hollywood film? Other than that I would imagine it’s Netflix series, stage, ads, nothing, Amazon series, stage, an ad, nothing etc.

Shefali Shah is my favourite actor.

Soap actors/actresses are contracted and as far as I know can’t do anything else.

I suppose it depends on the contract as I saw yer man Pete from Fair City in something else recently. So I’ll shut up now…

No is the answer. The originals were on a good gig but are pretty much all gone. Rte has stripped nearly all benefits now out of it and seeks to lock actors into zero hours style contracts, with access but no guarantee of work. They continually offer less and less to actors for the same works, with worse conditions. They do this because they can, because the majority of actors are working poor and will jump at the chance for work.

In terms of Irish actors, Lalor Roddy is superb.

He has a great ‘lived in’ face

That’s a lovely little speech from Harrison

If you get a chance the In Memoriam from last nights Actors Awards is worth a watch also, some giants gone
