he's playing a character that's going to steal a job in the local corner shop for e1.84 per hour.

Didn't realise people still watched 'Fair City', let alone cared about the storylines, characters or featured actors :P

no it just looked like him.

common mistake.

Same guy lives beside me.

He also plays in 8 positions for Chelsea at the same time.

Magic guy

Felix is played by a fella from Tallaght called Yare Jegbefume. Anyway I thought his accent sounded "too real", and that most likely he was from around Dublin in real life also.

That's John Fashanu.

Wow, really?
If so, what a weird, random connection. It's one of those things that kind of makes me want to go around telling people, but nobody really cares, so I can't. :P

I know exactly what you mean. There should be a word for that compulsion.I have trained myself to punch myself hard in the face whenever I start a sentence with the words "Interestingly enough". But it's hard to resist.

I think Felix is a good addition to the cast. He brings a bit of attitude to the role - it's obvious that he thinks Dermot is a bit of a fool, for example. Is his sister's band any good? Do you have a link for them?
