Soap Actors, ever see one out?

JONJO THE MISER

Im thinking here about Fair City actors, i mean Dublin is a small place and ive never seen any fair city actors while i was out and about, have ye?

TheZohanS

You can try asking here or here.

orestes

That would imply that people actually watch Fair City

emeraldstar

I've probably seen 4 or 5 or so of 'em "out and about" over the past few years. (I don't watch it, my mom used to )

Why? Why would you even wonder such a thing? Most of them are average earners that just happen to get some air-time thats not likely to go any where.

I saw an actor from Coronation Street outside Old Trafford once.

Whosbetter?

Seen a few of 'em in my time passing.

Means nothing to me.

Met Jack Lemmon in Harrods 20 years ago. Total Legend!

Never wanted to meet a 'b lister' after that........

If anyone knows where the woman who plays Cleo in Fair City hangs out or has a home address for her I'd be grateful for the information.

CHD

See few of them out this way a good bit.

DO'Carlo/Wex

Met yer' wan Heather Daly (see they're not famous enough to know their' real names although I know who MacLean Burke, Aisling O'Neill, Jim Bartley, Tom Jordan, & MacDara O' Flatharta are) out on Aston Quay one Summers' Evening in 2007 as I was coming down out of Croke Park to get the bus.
You know when you see someone out of context? I just said, "you're what'sherface off the telly aren't ye" & she said yes! I was turning around as I was walking by so it was sureal. Still I'll bet she remembers me to this day. Or at least the encounter. Possibly the oddest off-beat one!

Met Vanessa out of Ros na Run outside the Mespil on Baggott St./Waterloo Road (the one down from the bridge with Maxol just up road on l.h.s.) having a fag outside it. She was not me. Hate the things.

mikemac

You'll see the Ros na Run actors around Galway

Met the guy who plays Tadhg, got the same scary look as he does on the show

galwayrush

If i did, i would never admit it, that would be admitting i recognised one.:rolleyes:

Yeah I've seen a few of them Fair City women around town. Strangely enough almost entirely whilst I'm crossing O'Connell Bridge for some reason. It's happened on three seperate occasions so far. First one was the albino looking burd whose Nordie da was molesting her. Second was yer one Robin (the blonde who was married to Jimmy and looks like a bloke) and finally the stuck up yoke with the oversized head, manjaw and the duckface on her - can't think of her name or what exactly she's ever done on the show.

I saw yer man who plays Leo once, but that was in Donnybrook. He was giving a lift to some auld one (probably his ma). He's fairly cool cos he can't act for shít and doesn't mind letting you know. Also he was in that episode of Young Indy where indy comes to Dublin, so he gets major points for that.

Was down in Killarney with my best friend and we were walking down the street. There was a guy walking towards us with a little boy. I was like, he looks familiar, then I clicked. Keith from Fair City. Embarrassed I even recognised him as my friend didn't have a clue!:D

Oh on a night out in Dublin my friends and I met another. We were walking along the street, so was this guy and his friends in the same direction. Cant think of his name..he was in faircity,eastenders and did a kerrygold ad.

anotherlostie

I once served Barry in a shop. He used a cheque to pay for something less than a fiver, so it was a while ago.

I was in a well known Dublin restaurant sitting across from a Fair City contingent who were there to celebrate the departure of Floyd; there were eight of them there. I remember thinking my Mam would be beside herself! And then another evening in the same place we were sitting beside Niamh, her blonde friend and the teacher (who I think isn't a teacher now).

Malachy goes to the UCD gym; or at least he did while I was a student there.

On a day trip to Dublin in August 94 I was walking down from Grafton Street towards O'Connell Bridge when the guy who played Paddy Clarke came walking past pushing a bike!

Omnomnom

I saw malachy once. He was at the gym in UCD when i was at a volleyball match.He caught me gawkin at him anyway and he smiled and waved! Made my day:pac:

jmbkay

I saw Dominic from Fair City in our local Spar. Ali was seen in the French Bakery in Swords.

penelope6

saw dean gaffney from eastenders in kiely's some time last year and more impressively he was drinking with half of the irish pop sensation that was known as 'Six'; well 'Three' on this particular night!

Haunting the sandwich counter, I bet.

I saw Harry Molloy a couple of times in the Bank on Dame Street, once with the painter guy who used to be Damien's boss. Also various ones walking around town (Robin, Kylie, Christy, and I saw Bob and Renee together on Grafton Street looking quite glamorous). Usually I start to say hello because I think it's someone I know, then I get flustered and mumble. They must be used to it.

Epicurus

Saw Jo from Fair City sprinting down the back my local spar once. Also used to meet Darach O'Tuairisg from Ros na Run a couple of times in Galway . A gentleman.

deelite

Inspector John Deegan drives a taxi in Dublin when he's not working on Fair City.

Also a good place to spot them is when they're in the Post Office collecting their Unemployment Benefit.

I've seen - Woody Harrelson (not sure if that's how you spell his name), Jean Butler, John Cage from Ally McBeal, David Kelly and Don the painter from childrens tv show; all spotted (not together) in Suffolk Street Dublin 2, over the years.

TwilightFan88

Mainly Fair City people!

Mondo, Carol, Damien (like all the time we are from same county), Suzanne, Bela, RITA in a hi-ace one day when I was heading to Connolly Station!!

Miley from Glenroe!!

Don Conroy - comes into my shop the whole time!! Even got a pat on the back from this man! ;-) ;-) And oddly seen Brandan Grace that night too! LOL

Okay not a Soap Person but I have seen Gerard Fleming like three years in a row around Christmas time on the main street in Wexford!!

smileysurfer

Met Kylies ex boyfriend from Fair City out one night, He would have been a nice guy If he wasnt so totally vain! He acted like a famous actor when really all we said was ''i think Iv seen you somewhere before'', then he gave a huge smile/smirk and started babbling about his Fair City days!
we took a swift exit

vincenzolorenzo

Yer man malachy is often around UCD. He does a good bit of running around the playing pitches and weights in the gym too. Oh and I saw Harry molloy a good few years ago waiting for a bus outside RTE. And he had the black wooly hat on him too!

snowy2008

suzanne from fair city used to work on o'briens sandwiches in dun laoghiare and she makes a lovely toasty! this was back in 1999, and i also met ali (bonos wife) in there too, met mick lally walking up the road one day and I also met heathers husband in dunnes buying sausages, i saw heathers outside kehoes one night too

Bazzy

used to work in a mobile phone shop on grafton street ur one who used to own the pub cant remember her name and her phone was in japanese

Your man harry molloy and that ar*ehole painter fella ( i think he was a painter) with the dodgy tash used to come in as well this was a different branch and all the old dolls used to be falling over there trollies to get to them

Your man with the tash used to ask what the most expensive phone was the first few times I showed him after that I told him he couldnt afford it que him exiting stage left so to speak! your man harry had some jam jar glasses on though

Yeah, I know Macdara O Fátharta quite well - he's married to Eileen Dunne from RTE news. He's nothing at all like Tadhg :P

Joe Steve O Neachtain who plays Peadar is also a really nice man.

Zumo Bishop was on my bus a couple of weeks ago. And was delighted when some woman loudly asked if he was on Fair City coz the whole bus heard!

deelite

Saw the fella who used to be in Fair City in the Bohemian Pub in Phisboro - he played the part of Eunice's son, Hughie, very nice fella, really down to earth.

LOL - so what did he say/do? <cringe>

you would think Fair City actors would know better than to take public transport!

Saint_Mel

I bumped into Don Fisher in Coles supermarket in Bondi Junction before!

yurmothrintites

I've met a few around. I'm not a big fan of soaps so I didn't know most of their names.
Was talking to Blacky from Glenroe two years ago when he came into the shop I work in. Also met Miley (Mick Lally) and another aul one (forget her name but she smoked like a chimney) from Glenroe when I was a kid visiting the set.
The priest from Fair city came into my classroom when I was working once last year, but i only found out after he left.

I used to be an extra on Fair City for about 5 years so have seen loads of the actors.

Outside of RTE I've seen Mondo in Lillies

DO'Carlo/Wex

Was he (George McMahon) living in Celbridge for a while or am I confusing him with another similar-looking actor?
I think he's got a stage school going on but maybe it's ondly seasonal?
Saw an ad for it in my local Texaco in West CO. Dublin.

padocon

I have seen Cleo in a train once, I was 12 & amazed that she was sitting across the way from me! I was too shocked to say hi. She was on bebo and listening to music.
