Last year I was a background player in a film for The Dreamfactory Productions called “The Hitmen”
You might recall that I posted about it, and posted the official “making of” vignette for the film.
The premiere is set for the 22nd of January 2023 at The Sugar Club in Dublin. For tickets, head over to The Sugar Club’s ticket site!
I hope to see you there! It’s a black-tie affair, so no tie-dye t-shirts!
The Dreamfactory Productions has released a behind-the-scenes vignette titled “The Making of The Hitmen” on YouTube. Of course, you get to see me. I look like a serious chubby mountain of a man in this one!
We had a great time on-set, and in all the zoom rehearsals beforehand. The amount of rehearsal we did was easily more than any previous production I’ve worked on. We were well ready to shoot by the time we could finally all be in the same place at the same time. I met some interesting people. I think we’re going to appreciate all the work that went into this from all the cast & crew when the final product is released! I worked with The Dreamfactory Productions, the director: Anthony, the producer: Nicola et al.. on “This Christmas” previously. It was great to work with them again. This was my first time working on a subsequent project with a production house.
I look forward to the premiere of the finished product! I’ll be sure to post about it when it comes out. I think the plan is to submit to the film festival circuit, so the premiere might be well before it’s available online anywhere.

It’s a heart-wrenching little story shot in mid December of 2019, with a few to being released for the 2020 Christmas Season.
I enjoyed making this one. My character was a far cry from the evil one I played in the short film “The Cull” (which is linked to from my “Acting” page)
In typical fashion, my last name is again misspelled in the credits. Sometimes I wonder if I should just change my “stage name” to match the way everyone misspells it.
I enjoyed shooting this film. The entire shoot was very different than others I’ve done. We didn’t have any studio sets, it was on location.
See “This Christmas” here:
I’ve made a contribution to a project on HitRecord. It is not my first. This was reading a short piece about Ireland. Since I just got a new computer, and got my home studio kit set back up with it, it came at a good time to test the setup, and to do something creative in the middle of lockdown. Since the subject is Ireland, one that I love, I thought it only fitting that I should give it a bash. It’s the most creative thing that I’ve done since March, that wasn’t directly related to my “day job” in IT.
If you have a listen, you should be able to leave me comments on HitRecord if you’re a member. Alternately, contact me via the website here, or my Facebook page.

This student production is for the diploma and performance courses that I’m taking with StageScreen Classes, led by Conor Armstrong Sanfey.

The director just notified me that I’ll be playing a role in a new short film. We will be shooting in mid-December. I cannot share details yet, but I’m excited about it. This is my first role since two surgeries after an injury in 2018. Merry Christmas to me!
A casting director asked me in to audition for a part a few days ago. The part is for a beverage company’s ad campaign.
Yesterday I skipped my lunch at work to go in and see them
Shortly after coming in the door tonight, an e-mail arrived informing me that they want to see me back tomorrow evening.
Wish me luck!
Rehearsals for Faith have gone well, and we’re shooting on Saturday in Bray.
I’m looking forward to getting into costume on-set to move from rehearsal & blocking to performance!
My co-star and I were truly able to get into our characters and explore them!
