    He was absolutely fantastic when he played Charles Haughey in the RTE drama. He nailed it.

    He was also brilliant as John-Boy in Love/Hate.

    No, I'm replying to the user saying Aidan Gillen isn't good in anything.

    Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Negan in the Walking Dead.

    He's romcom fodder at best...couldn't take him seriously at all fluting around with a baseball bat

    No, for such good writing and such a good character, Murphy performance is as usual wooden, one dimensional, and dead.
    It would much better with a better actor. There are hundreds of actors that could play that part better.

    I disagree. I think he nails the self involved psycopath role. Would like to hear a couple of names from the hundreds who could do better. ?

    When i have the misfortune of watching fair city i despair that this is the level of actors we turn out from our colleges. All acting schools in this country should be banned
