the priest in fair city

Mint Sauce

dont watch it, but was just flicking through the channels, and sure i just seen one of the characters from ITVs the bill, playing a priest, is this the same actor, or just a very good look a like

kerash

Yeah the actor is Tony O'Callaghan, he was in the bill and loads of other stuff!

whats he doing in an irish soap, and before any smart answers from any one, 'hes playin a priest', i can see that, but why an irish soap, not what i expected tbh

kerash

Well i think he is actually of Irish decent, I remember reading that his parents are Irish, and how he spent his summers here as a child. Sure why wouldn't he want to be in Fair City, with all those fantastic actors, i'm sure its the pinnacle of his career.:rolleyes:

he does that kleenex ad doesn't he? The one where he goes around with the sofa, getting people to talk to him for while, and they all inevitably end up wailing!

Could they not have given him a better character to play or a storyline that hasn't been done already?
