Haven’t done one of these posts in a while: a couple of roles for Irish lads in Wake Up Dead Man. #IrishActors #DarylMcCormack #AndrewScott #KnivesOut #AKnivesOutMystery #WakeUpDeadMan #Mastodaoine #Netflix

There’s our Ruth Bradley, in Slow Horses so she is. #IrishActors #RuthBradley #SlowHorses #EmmaFlyte #Mastodaoine #ApplePlus

Slate on the case of #IrishActors in 2023. I will now bask in entirely unearned reflected glory. #Mastodaoine

Always interesting to hear an Irish accent in an unexpected context.

I've loved Little Women all my life, and the 2019 Greta Gerwig directed adaptation is my favourite.
We just finished rewatching it, and I absolutely adore Saoirse Ronan as Jo!
Without spoilers, while there are many tear-jerking moments in the story, today, for some reason, it was Jo's mournful "I can't believe childhood is over" line that really got to me.

Just finished Home Alone 2 with the youngest. Everyone remembers the cameo by _that_ guy in the hotel. Less remembered is the appearance by our Brenda Fricker. #IrishActors #BrendaFricker #PigeonLady #HomeAlone2 #LostInNewYork #Mastodaoine

My eldest is now a raving stan of ‘Anne with an E’ on Netflix. Donegal’s Amybeth McNulty leading out the cast. #IrishActors #AmyBethMcNulty #AnneWithAnE #Netflix #Mastodaoine

Brendan Gleeson, Mr. Mercedes. The subtitles mostly doing well with the Hiberno-English 😁 #IrishActors #BrendanGleeson #MrMercedes #Mastodaoine

There’s our Siobhán McSweeney in The Electrical Life of Louis Wain. #IrishActors #SiobhánMcSweeney #TheElectricalLifeOfLouisWain #Netflix #Mastodaoine

There’s our Philippa Dunne as Lorna Dunnet in Netflix’s time-travel mini-series Bodies. #IrishActors #PhilippaDunne #LornaDunnet #Bodies #Netflix #Mastodaoine

Orla Brady as Laris in S01E02 of Star Trek: Picard clearly saying “Cheeky Feckers” — but that’s not what Prime Video’s subtitles heard … 👀 #IrishActors #OrlaBrady #Laris #StarTrek #Picard #Feck #CheekyFeckers

Also at the end of Season 2 of Wheel of Time the word Feckin’ arrives.* Does this mean the WoT world exists in the same universe as Star Trek: Picard (where Feck has also been uttered)?
*Edited - see replies. Feck had in fact arrived earlier in the season.

I got to the end of Season 2 of Wheel of Time with actors from one end of the island of Ireland to the other: Belfast’s Stuart Graham as Geofram Bornhald and Cork’s Dónal Finn as Mat Cautham.

There’s our Ayoola Smart as Aviendha on Wheel of Time. #IrishActors #WheelOfTime #PrimeVideo #AyoolaSmart #Aviendha #Mastodaoine

Out at a family event for one of the younger generation. My nephew had a figure from Eternals - a miniature Barry Keoghan.
#IrishActors #BarryKeoghan #Druig #MCU #Eternals #ActionFigure #Mastodaoine

Finally got back to giving Wheel of Time another go. Two episodes in and the Irish is strong in this one. Esther Ayo James and Michael McElhatton have turned up so far, I believe more are on way from reading your toots. #IrishActors #WheelOfTime #PrimeVideo #EstherAyoJames #MichaelMcElhatton #Mastodaoine

Finally watched Maniac on Netflix this week (prompted by a Mastodonian toot on here). Gabriel Byrne, who most of you might remember from TV soap Bracken in the early ‘80s 😜, plays Bad Dad Porter Milgrim. Byrne is making a habit of turning up in less mainstream SciFi, which I hope he keeps doing. #Maniac #Netflix #GabrielByrne #PorterMilgrim #SciFi #IrishActors #Mastodaoine

Foundation this week had Orla O'Rourke as Empress Winnoset II and Doireann May White as an ensign. #Foundation #DoireannMayWhite #OrlaORourke #IrishActors #Mastodaoine

Our Genevieve back in the Star Wars Galaxy again, rightly racking up the appearances across the franchise at this stage.☘️ Also NI’s finest Ray Stevenson. What a loss, such a great SW baddie. 😥 #Ahsoka #StarWars #GenevieveOReilly #MonMothma #RayStevenson #BaylanSkoll #IrishActors #NorthernIrelandActors

I think I’ll start a thread of actors with Irish connections turning up in stuff I’m watching. Last Friday I went full *insert Leonardo di Caprio pointing at TV meme* when Fiona O’Shaughnessy turned up in Foundation on Apple+. #Foundation #FionaOShaughnessy #IrishActors
