![]() Without doubt the Factory Screen acting course has been a huge benefit to me personally when sourcing roles and my fellow “Factorians” are also being offered great roles which is wonderful.ĭ: I noticed on one of your acting profiles that it lists scuba diving as one of your special skills – is this what they’re teaching young actors in drama schools these days?Į: Ha, no! but I was born in Sligo on the North West coast of Ireland which is renowned for the best surfing in the world. This isn’t surprising as it is a wonderfully written and directed production.ĭ: I can imagine there are plenty of Irish actors all scrambling to get a part in the show?Į: Of course, for all actors starting out especially, it can be very difficult to get offers of good work let alone work on a great show like Ripper Street. I was originally asked to read for a different part but after meeting the director Tom Shankland I was subsequently cast as Stella as Tom felt I was more suited to this role.ĭ: The filming took place in Dublin and I was wondering if the show is popular in Ireland?Į: Hugely so. ![]() ![]() The introduction of Damien Molony as Detective Albert Flightĭ: Describe how you came to be cast in Ripper Street?Į: I had the great fortune of attending the Factory Screen Acting Programme this year where I met and briefly worked with Louise Kiely. He is a brilliant actor and also very pleasing to the eye and I’m sure we’ll be seeing a lot more of him. Apparently he has an army of fans out there going absolutely crazy about this and although I suppose he’s not a bad looking lad – seriously, what’s all the fuss about?Į: I am not surprised that he has an army of fans. Albert Flight played by someone called Damien Molony. It was sometimes difficult to separate reality from fantasy because the effects were so realistic but it did make for some very interesting and fun days on set.ĭ: I believe that tonight’s episode also features another attraction – the eagerly anticipated introduction of a certain Det. The way he helped physically transform the actors into their character is truly astonishing. The stunning make-up by Waldo Mason Effects Ltdĭ: Merrick is played by Joseph Drake in a remarkable performance and the make-up by Waldo Mason Effects is simply stunning, you must have sometimes felt rather overwhelmed by the whole scale of production?Į: Waldo is a genius in his field.
