1
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:09,040
You know what Sony had the Holy 
Trinity? 

2
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:12,400
Leo, Brad and Marco. 
Who do you have? 

3
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,840
Top of the morning to you. 
Welcome to Boy Party. 

4
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,120
It is a very special episode of 
the after Party. 

5
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:25,840
It is the Irish actor draft. 
My name is Lucy Montelia and I'm

6
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,040
joined, as always, by Shane 
Kelly. 

7
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:31,480
Good evening. 
And we are doing a very special,

8
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,000
special bonus episode of the 
show that I thought would be fun

9
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:39,080
to do of drafting the best 
living Irish actors. 

10
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:45,760
We have a special relationship, 
a special level of interest in 

11
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,080
Irish actors, partially due to 
the fact that for the last four 

12
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:53,960
years I have worked at the the 
Irish Actor Warehouse and Shane 

13
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,280
by proxy has been exposed to a 
huge amount of Irish film and 

14
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:58,880
television over the past few 
years. 

15
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,080
And we've come to have a lot of 
familiarity with not just the 

16
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,320
big stars that you would know 
that everybody knows, but also 

17
00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:09,000
with kind of a fun selection of 
Irish character actors and 

18
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:10,240
sporting actors and working 
actors. 

19
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:14,920
So this is our opportunity to 
celebrate them and put together 

20
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,400
a bit of a draft and I'm going 
to explain very quickly how it 

21
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:21,440
works. 
There are 8 categories, and both

22
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,560
Shane and I are going to pick 8 
actors on this draft. 

23
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,400
We're going to pick one each 
from each category. 

24
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,560
You can go in the categories 
whatever order you want, but 

25
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,880
once somebody's taken off the 
board, they're off the board for

26
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,880
good. 
There's seven categories that 

27
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,600
have a sort of defined list, and
then the 8th categories, a wild 

28
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,200
card pick where you can pick 
anyone you want. 

29
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,720
It can be somebody who wasn't 
chosen who was eligible in one 

30
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,480
of the other categories, or it 
can be an actor who isn't 

31
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:43,800
eligible in any of the other 
categories. 

32
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,960
Although as far as I'm 
concerned, pretty much everyone 

33
00:01:45,960 --> 00:01:48,280
you would want to pick is 
covered by one of the other 7 

34
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,280
categories, but maybe there's 
some exceptions those 

35
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:52,880
categories. 
Would you like to read out 

36
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,000
Shane? 
Oscar nominee. 

37
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,360
Any Irish actor living that has 
been nominated at the Oscars. 

38
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:00,760
Yep. 
Or one. 

39
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,520
If the lifetime achievement 
recipient. 

40
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,600
So this is any actor that has 
been given a lifetime 

41
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,320
achievement award by the Irish 
Film Television Academy. 

42
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,920
If the rising star winner. 
Any actor that's been given a 

43
00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:15,560
Rising Star award win winners 
only by the Irish Film 

44
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,360
Television Academy. 
An actor or actress who has 

45
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,400
appeared in three or more 
episodes of either Love, Hate or

46
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:22,360
The Clinic. 
Absolutely. 

47
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,360
These are the two big Irish TV 
shows of the 2000s. 

48
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,920
Dozens and dozens of actors 
passed through these shows, but 

49
00:02:28,920 --> 00:02:32,640
anyone who's been in three or 
more episodes of either show is 

50
00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:36,720
eligible here. 
Actors who have appeared in 

51
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,640
Intermission or The Guard. 
Yeah, I think these are the 2 

52
00:02:39,640 --> 00:02:42,320
Irish films that we've covered 
on this show, and they both 

53
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,840
feature big ensemble casts of 
great Irish towns. 

54
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,480
So all the guys in there. 
They're all out. 

55
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,560
Don Cheadle not eligible, 
unfortunately for the Irish 

56
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,920
actor draft. 
Now I feel like this might skew 

57
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:55,400
slightly in One Direction, but 
actors from Galway or Cork? 

58
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,120
Yeah, these are the places where
you and I are from originally, 

59
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,800
so I thought it would be nice to
represent Galway Cork and give 

60
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,160
them a slight little extra bonus
push in this draft. 

61
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,880
Northern Irish. 
Yeah, obviously the north of 

62
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,200
Ireland, you know, one day. 
It'll we, we don't like to 

63
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:11,760
distinguish. 
Yeah, we'll all be back. 

64
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,720
Together, but I thought it was 
nice to give them their own 

65
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,840
category because it is a niche 
and then the 8th category is the

66
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,320
wild card pick. 
Any other bit of the rules I 

67
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:20,680
need to explain before we? 
Start No. 

68
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:27,920
I'm scanning for names of the. 
DDLS, yes. 

69
00:03:27,920 --> 00:03:30,840
So as far as I'm concerned, 
Steve. 

70
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:32,880
Coogan. 
You can change this if you'd 

71
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,920
like. 
As far as I'm concerned, Daniel 

72
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,520
Day Lewis, Steve Coogan, Jared 
Harris, Kenneth Branagh, we 

73
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,520
shouldn't be including here, but
you can if you want. 

74
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:43,320
You have Fassbender on the list,
I guess. 

75
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,160
Fassbender. 
Cats, Fassbenders. 

76
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,480
Fassbender is proper Irish. 
Yeah, yeah. 

77
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,960
And it's just those four guys I 
would consider to be and the 

78
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,400
other Harris sons as well. 
I would consider them to be a 

79
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,120
little iffy on the Irishness 
scale. 

80
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,760
Sure. 
Anyone who has died. 

81
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,240
Unfortunately, I'm not making 
eligible here because they're 

82
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,920
not really currently working, so
it's kind of hard to quantify as

83
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:04,280
much. 
So no more in O'Hara? 

84
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,880
No Peter O'Toole and the 
recently departed Gary Lydon 

85
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:13,000
also not Rest in peace to him. 
All right, I think we will jump 

86
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,320
straight in. 
I'm going to let you go first 

87
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,720
because I made-up the rules. 
So you get to go 1st and you can

88
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,519
pick any actor from any category
you want to start building. 

89
00:04:20,519 --> 00:04:22,480
Once they're eliminated from one
category, I'm. 

90
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,560
Going to mark them right on here
and no one else can pick them 

91
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:29,600
yet, OK? 
Now, what is the best way to 

92
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:34,120
approach this if you want nearly
to choose the category that has 

93
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:38,280
a complete outlier of success? 
I'd imagine I don't know. 

94
00:04:38,280 --> 00:04:40,240
Maybe not necessarily. 
I would say you want to find 

95
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,320
you, yeah. 
You want to find the best person

96
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,880
in the weakest category first to
maybe strike that category off 

97
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,440
the board. 
Because then the other person is

98
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,000
guaranteed to get a dud in that 
category. 

99
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:50,800
Potentially there's no there's 
no duds. 

100
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:51,800
Here. 
There's no duds here. 

101
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,160
Sure, of course not. 
I get your logic. 

102
00:04:53,600 --> 00:05:01,800
But I think I will go for clinic
actress. 

103
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:08,480
OK, Sirsha Ronan. 
OK, Yes, I'm taking Sirsha Ronan

104
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,960
in the clinic category is good 
fun. 

105
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:11,760
Yeah. 
Sure. 

106
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,360
OK. 
So Sirsha Ronan, you are off the

107
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,560
board at Sirsha Ronan, 
obviously. 

108
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,000
I regret that immediately. 
Maybe our greatest. 

109
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,840
Our greatest living actor. 
Yeah, she is a 4/5 time Oscar 

110
00:05:24,840 --> 00:05:26,120
nominee now. 
Four, I think. 

111
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,000
Brooklyn Tolman and the two 
Gerwig movies. 

112
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:33,040
Yeah, I love Sirsha Ronan. 
I think kind of our number one 

113
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:34,680
Hollywood movie star. 
I think so. 

114
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,800
Maybe your Killian is. 
I think Killian right now is 

115
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,720
hotter than Sir Ronan, but 
that's that could be disrupted 

116
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,080
at any time if Sir Ronan chooses
to start making big movies. 

117
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,960
Like her choices in the last 
four, 5-6 years have been a 

118
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,040
little on the smaller scale. 
We did talk about her in depth 

119
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,000
recently on our Little Women 
episode with Katie Brady, which 

120
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,880
I'd recommend to everybody but 
I. 

121
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:59,160
Think her presence is up there 
with like letterboxed most 

122
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,720
logged films like she registers.
Absolutely. 

123
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,560
Well, the two Gerwig movies 
she's in are both like modern 

124
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,840
proper classics and they are 
beloved. 

125
00:06:06,840 --> 00:06:11,280
And there are thousands, 10s of 
thousands of young people around

126
00:06:11,280 --> 00:06:13,760
the world who have posters for 
those movies on their bedroom 

127
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,720
walls. 
Like she is an icon to young 

128
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,360
millennials and Gen. 
Z film fans. 

129
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:23,280
And I think is is in the mix 
with the the Emma Stones and 

130
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,400
what not for being the best 
actress of her generation and. 

131
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,360
I think is pretty clearly the 
number one actress and actress 

132
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,960
in terms of status on the list. 
Yes, on this it's 100% she is. 

133
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,360
She is an obvious number one 
overall. 

134
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:37,400
Pick. 
So there you go serious. 

135
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,280
Ronan is number one pick. 
I think is is a good choice. 

136
00:06:40,280 --> 00:06:42,360
And now the love hate in the 
clinic has taken off the board. 

137
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:48,120
I am going to interesting now 
who to go with next? 

138
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,680
I'm going to I'm going to try to
pick my categories. 

139
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,480
Well, I'm going to go 
intermission. 

140
00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:00,080
Or the Guard actor Colin 
Farrell. 

141
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:05,760
Yeah, I think Colin Farrell is, 
to me, the best male star that 

142
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:11,080
we have. 
I think he is still a more 

143
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,640
exciting bit of casting in a 
movie to me than Fassbender or 

144
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,880
Killian R even though the hit 
rate is probably a little bit 

145
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:23,400
lower but the highs are so high 
and the Colin Farrell has a has 

146
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,320
a level of charisma that is like
up there with the all time 

147
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:31,600
greats incredible star presence 
when he's in Hollywood movies, 

148
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,000
British movies, Irish movies, 
doesn't matter what. 

149
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,560
I wish he would stop doing this 
like Penguin bullshit. 

150
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,320
I wish he would make slightly 
better choices with his films. 

151
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,760
But you know what I mean. 
The choices he makes have been 

152
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,120
making sense. 
Like the reason he ends up in a 

153
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,440
big beautiful journey is because
he works with Coconut on after 

154
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,760
Yang and he had a good 
experience on that, which is one

155
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,880
of his best performances. 
So it makes perfect sense he 

156
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:54,960
want to make another movie with 
him. 

157
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:57,640
What's the other thing he was in
last year? 

158
00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,520
Feel like he was in another film
last year. 

159
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:01,840
The The Battle of a small player
the. 

160
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:03,600
Battle of a Small Player was so 
bad. 

161
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,040
But again, if you told him, hey,
Colin, you want to play like you

162
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,520
want to be in every single frame
of this movie, that's going to 

163
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,320
be really visually interesting 
when you play like a poker guy. 

164
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,880
Oh, on paper, absolutely not. 
A not a not. 

165
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,560
That film and it didn't do 
anything for his career, but 

166
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,600
like it wasn't a bad choice in 
theory and now he's doing this. 

167
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:25,400
Ray Fines Wagner Mora 3 hander 
based on this beloved French 

168
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,320
play, which seems like a really 
interesting choice and probably 

169
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,400
a strong solid Oscar nomination 
potential there. 

170
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,880
That was first Oscar nomination 
for Banshees. 

171
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,080
I don't love that film, but it 
would have been really nice if 

172
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,760
he won. 
I think he just like is a guy 

173
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,520
who deserved an Oscar before the
age of 50. 

174
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,480
He's put in the work there. 
He he had a rough time in his 

175
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,200
20s and he kind of swung back 
around. 

176
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,120
I think that that's really 
admirable and just seems like an

177
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,440
absolute gentleman and lovely 
person. 

178
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,400
And I haven't really interacted 
with him at all. 

179
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:57,160
I, I, I was on the set of on 
Dean as a passerby when in 2008,

180
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,000
but I've never like met him 
through work or anything, but 

181
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:01,440
I've only ever heard lovely 
things about him. 

182
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,480
So calm Farrell, my first choice
there. 

183
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:04,840
Wonderful. 
All right. 

184
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,760
So what category are you taking 
him in there? 

185
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:08,600
Oh, intermission. 
Character. 

186
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,440
Yeah. 
Which leaves Oscar nominee still

187
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:12,240
on the board. 
Yeah. 

188
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:22,240
Now, Next up in the category of 
Northern Irish, I'm taking Mr. 

189
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:23,840
Liam Neeson. 
OK. 

190
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,840
Liam Neeson, definitely legend 
status achieved there? 

191
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:33,840
I think so. 
Proper fucking movie star. 

192
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,360
In the sense that, like a Liam 
Neeson vehicle is a very clearly

193
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,880
defined thing. 
Yeah, too many people around the

194
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,120
world of the I will find you and
kill you variety. 

195
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:49,120
Yes, I think he has demonstrated
enough range and kind of quality

196
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:56,440
and self self-awareness compared
to the likes of maybe a Statham 

197
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,280
or Alone or their typical kind 
of one note actually. 

198
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,720
People might argue that Statham 
did the did the The Naked Gun 

199
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,400
equivalent when he was in Spy, 
but I really don't like that 

200
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:09,600
film and I don't think he was a 
Golden Boy nominee last year. 

201
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:10,680
Yeah, he was. 
He was. 

202
00:10:10,680 --> 00:10:12,320
He's. 
Still killing it at this point 

203
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,840
in his career, doing new, fun, 
interesting, surprising stuff. 

204
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:21,160
Yeah, I mean, he appears in like
his his cameos in funny stuff. 

205
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:25,640
Don't feel like too sweaty, too 
sweaty or him just being there 

206
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,400
as a a gag to laugh at. 
He's part of the he's part of 

207
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,800
the appearance. 
I thought his appearance in 

208
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:32,960
Atlanta was very funny. 
A fantastic choice. 

209
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,920
And it was a good, it's PR come 
back after that initial 

210
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,200
incident. 
After the initial incident, 

211
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,760
which I racially, racially 
complicated, which I compared to

212
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,880
the drama, yes, drama at one 
point. 

213
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,400
But yeah, he's he's got a real 
talent. 

214
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,240
I think there is still a lot, a 
lot of juice left. 

215
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,400
Yeah, he hasn't done like in a 
super compelling dramatic 

216
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:54,640
performance in quite a while, 
though. 

217
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,000
I mean, like the guy was in 
Schindler's List and, you know, 

218
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:02,200
big WAVY dramas in the 90s and 
now if he's doing up WAVY drama,

219
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,440
it's probably something a little
sentimental kind of nonsense. 

220
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,600
He's not, he's not a mockery. 
He's not a, he's not a Chuck 

221
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:07,840
Norris. 
No, no. 

222
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,040
Which is, Which is. 
Good. 

223
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:10,520
Yeah, he was. 
Probably. 

224
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,800
For a while with his I thought 
he's a bit washed with his 13 

225
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:15,040
cut. 
Jump over the fence and take. 

226
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,440
Yes, I know. 
But I'm he's got, he's got a bit

227
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,240
of life. 
He needs to do like Bill Nighy 

228
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,640
and about time type dad 
performance. 

229
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,360
I think that's the the one thing
he's missing is like. 

230
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,240
Like I think there's a nice 
there to reward him. 

231
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,080
Like I think people like him. 
Oh for sure. 

232
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,400
I think if he did something 
really impressive, you're right,

233
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:34,480
there would be appetite to 
reward. 

234
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:34,960
Him. 
I don't know. 

235
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,120
Is this Bill Nighy father thing 
his appearance or his character 

236
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,680
in Love Actually? 
But that's like, that's yeah, 

237
00:11:40,680 --> 00:11:42,440
that's that's Bill Nighy in 
love. 

238
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,160
Actually, I don't know. 
I feel like Bill Nighy, you got 

239
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:45,400
to do 1. 
Richard Curtis, where you're 

240
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,760
doing serious OK, I'm. 
Trying to think of my other 

241
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:50,840
favorite Liam Neeson 
performances but Star Wars. 

242
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,760
The Phantom Menace. 
Classic meditorians. 

243
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,000
Look, he makes that shit work. 
He does the negotiations for 

244
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,720
sure. 
OK, Liam Neeson, you've taken 

245
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,480
him in Northern Irish. 
I think so. 

246
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:02,320
All right. 
Yeah. 

247
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:03,360
Not I think so. 
I have. 

248
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:08,800
My next choice, I'm going to be 
a little bit premature here. 

249
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:15,160
I'm going to go Allison Oliver 
in from Galway or Cork. 

250
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,040
Everyone knows how much I love 
Allison Oliver. 

251
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,880
I think she's the best and I 
also think she is currently the 

252
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,280
most quickly ascending star that
we have. 

253
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:29,840
Sure, in the space of it feels 
like one to two years she has 

254
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:34,960
gone from being a kind of a 
who's that again to a front face

255
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:40,520
centerpiece of the Dior campaign
and like getting cast in things 

256
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,520
Willy nilly like big projects 
and. 

257
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:47,800
Yeah, like Wuthering Heights is 
a project that requires kind of 

258
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,400
immense mainstream yeah beauty 
to function like. 

259
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,440
Yes. 
So it feels as though everyone 

260
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,960
liking her so much in that and 
most people, even those outside 

261
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,760
of Ireland sort of agreeing that
she's the best thing in it is an

262
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:06,640
affirmation of her both as a 
really like electric screen 

263
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,720
presence, but also of like, oh, 
this is a woman who could be 

264
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,240
part of like the mainstream 
fashion and cosmetics world as a

265
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:18,840
face. 
Totally biased by my IRL 

266
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,200
interactions with her, which has
been absolutely delightful and 

267
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,840
such such a nice person. 
Also has demonstrated huge 

268
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,680
amount of Palestinian 
solidarity. 

269
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,600
Seems to have like bonded a lot 
with Mark Ruffalo over that when

270
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,240
they were making tasks together,
which she is remarkable in. 

271
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,080
If you haven't seen her in task.
There's a scene in that show 

272
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,800
where she's in a bar with her Co
worker telling him about her 

273
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,200
kind of life story. 
And it's really, really 

274
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:45,600
wonderful. 
And then she's like dancing to 

275
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,320
Gwen Stefani in another episode.
And it's oh, she's so, so good 

276
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,480
in that and doing like a really 
accurate specific Pennsylvanian 

277
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:56,040
accent. 
Great in in two scenes in 

278
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,040
Christie, a character that 
doesn't necessarily go anywhere,

279
00:13:59,560 --> 00:14:00,920
but it's nice that she's there. 
Yeah, it's. 

280
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,080
Not an amazing performance, but 
it's nice that she's there. 

281
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,960
Yeah, and clearly. 
Maybe that's a testament to her 

282
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:07,400
that she kind of stands out a 
little bit. 

283
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,240
I think so. 
And like she did that, you know,

284
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,960
with friends of hers from Cork 
and people that she's known for 

285
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:13,840
years, and it's really nice. 
And she gave that movie a bit of

286
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:18,960
a boost, commercially speaking. 
And I think the upcoming project

287
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,960
slate is so exciting. 
She's got rich peppy ass bad 

288
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:26,600
Bridget's, which is this like 
feminist famine era movie she's 

289
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,280
doing from the director of 
Kneecap. 

290
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:32,080
And then she's doing Emily 
Mortimer's Dennis with your 

291
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,680
Barsov. 
And she's in another another 

292
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,720
movie with a few people with 
including Anna Hardwick another 

293
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:40,520
another man we'll mention in a 
minute, I'm sure. 

294
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,600
But yeah, just really quickly on
the rise. 

295
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,040
Nobody could deserve it more. 
I really have been rooting for 

296
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:48,840
her since I saw her in 
Conversations with Friends, 

297
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,520
which is a show that was 
basically only watchable because

298
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,840
she was in it and has a great 
Cork accents and Cork 

299
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:58,080
personality of Cork. 
So that's who I'm taking in from

300
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,840
Galway or Cork. 
From Galway or Cork. 

301
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,880
Your turn. 
My turn now. 

302
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,040
What are the categories do I 
have here? 

303
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,280
Your your color coding is 
confusing me. 

304
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:14,080
If it's orange, it means that 
one of us has taken from that 

305
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:14,800
category. 
Sure. 

306
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,200
So I've taken Northern Irish and
I've taken. 

307
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:18,880
Love hate with this love, hate 
or the. 

308
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:23,080
Clinic, right? 
Let's see where I want to go. 

309
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:28,680
I don't like taking the big guns
all the time. 

310
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,480
Umm. 
No, but someone's going to take 

311
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,320
them. 
No, look, I actually don't have 

312
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:34,920
to. 
I was thinking killing Murphy 

313
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:35,880
here but I don't have to pick 
him. 

314
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,760
You don't. 
Have to because you can't pick 

315
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,080
them. 
You have your Oscars done, you 

316
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:41,880
have your intimation pick. 
You can pick them for a wild 

317
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:43,240
card I. 
Could pick them for a wild card 

318
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:50,400
if I. 
Want, but I had less time to 

319
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,160
prepare for this than Lucy did. 
Yeah, but I also have no idea 

320
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,320
who I'm going to pick next so. 
True, I haven't really. 

321
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,760
Prepared, I just made a little 
list. 

322
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:06,400
Right, I am going to go with 
intermission of the guard. 

323
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,160
Bring enough a burn. 
OK, good choice. 

324
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:15,720
Just a very funny, dry presence 
and a lot of these things. 

325
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,880
He's fantastic. 
And he's the epitome of like, 

326
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,160
underrated stage actor that pops
up in movies. 

327
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,000
And you're like, oh, I can see 
why you would put this. 

328
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,520
Guy and seemingly just a very 
kind man and his his message 

329
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,640
about Gary Leiden after he died 
had me really sad. 

330
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:32,840
Quite sad. 
They were in an upcoming film 

331
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:34,000
together where they play 
brothers. 

332
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:35,880
It seems to be like A2 hander, 
which I'm really looking 

333
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:37,840
forward. 
To and his his kind of testament

334
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:42,960
room after he died was he was he
was he was a guy he didn't 

335
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,280
actually know very well, which I
think nearly met it more. 

336
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:49,600
Yeah, it was a very, it was a 
really it was very much a like a

337
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:54,640
father, an Irish dad reacting to
a Co worker of his dying that he

338
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,520
didn't know that well, yeah, but
had gotten to really like 

339
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,880
recently, yeah kind of thing. 
And he was like, we were meant 

340
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:01,720
to meet up for coffee. 
We had to work together, you 

341
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,520
know, 25 years ago, but we never
really. 

342
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:07,200
Yeah, it's a funny kind of 
relationship to disappear on you

343
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,560
because it's one that kind of 
exists most in your head as 

344
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:13,520
something that could have been. 
Yeah, which can be more 

345
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,200
devastating sometimes, but. 
No, it's it's, it was a lovely 

346
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:17,319
message. 
I recommend people read it on 

347
00:17:17,319 --> 00:17:19,280
his Instagram. 
Yeah, he's the best. 

348
00:17:19,599 --> 00:17:21,880
I love him as the bus driver in 
intermission. 

349
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:22,880
Great. 
An intermission. 

350
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,760
You gave him a Golden Boy for 
Common, for Conclave. 

351
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,040
Conclave, which he also won. 
He's the only good He won the. 

352
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:33,040
FTF for conclave he what came 
upstairs and he says that's a 

353
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:37,200
bit silly now was nobody else 
here to get it And I said no 

354
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,400
man, you don't understand. 
That's a really good supporting 

355
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,120
but he was like I'm barely yet. 
No, you are really in it. 

356
00:17:43,120 --> 00:17:45,120
That's like a really good 
sporting performance. 

357
00:17:45,120 --> 00:17:48,160
Yeah, we, we have a long 
standing request that there's 

358
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,560
three tier of I know category 
that we might enact. 

359
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,040
And he's at some point, he's 
the, he's the exact type of 

360
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:54,760
supporting character in that 
film who doesn't get any 

361
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,720
close-ups, but he's he's really 
supporting the story. 

362
00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,800
He's supporting Ray Finds and 
he's really important to it. 

363
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,960
But look, he's the he's the, 
he's the man who originated the 

364
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:04,560
Philip Seymour Hoffman role in 
Doubt. 

365
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:08,480
Like, he's a major presence on 
Broadway and is really, really 

366
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:13,320
respected in theatrical circles 
and I think deserves to get more

367
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:17,080
and more work in film and TV. 
And, you know, he's been a few 

368
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:20,520
things recently like Twig and 
this show Prisoner on Sky that 

369
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,960
I'm not super mad about. 
But like, he's definitely on 

370
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,960
people's radar as like, I've 
really, yeah, as you said, 

371
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:28,880
really good dry presents. 
So great choice. 

372
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:34,360
So that's Intermission or the 
guard actor is now off the off 

373
00:18:34,360 --> 00:18:39,760
the table completely in my turn.
Yes. 

374
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:45,840
OK, I am going to go with 
interesting. 

375
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:53,440
I'm gonna go if the Rising star 
winner Michael Fassbender, 

376
00:18:55,720 --> 00:19:00,280
because I think Michael 
Fassbender in his current a 

377
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:04,520
string of roles can be maybe 
easily under appreciated at this

378
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,760
moment in time. 
But ultimately, this is the man 

379
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,520
who was starred in Steve Jobs 
and the man who starred in Shame

380
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:10,720
and the man who starred in 
Hunger. 

381
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,720
And I'd be lying if I said that 
those weren't three of the best 

382
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,560
leading man performances of the 
last 25 years. 

383
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,040
When he's good, he's like one of
the best in the world, I think. 

384
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:25,640
And he's like an incredible, 
incredible grounding force for a

385
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,760
movie to have. 
I think Steve McQueen and Danny 

386
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,040
Boyle have figured out how to 
utilize that. 

387
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,720
The best other directors, 
definitely not as much. 

388
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,520
The guy wasted a huge amount of 
his time in the 20 tens in 

389
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,080
alternating X-Men and Alien 
movies. 

390
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:45,200
Although granted before friend 
of the show Dave texts me, he is

391
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,280
very very good in the Alien 
movies and it was a good use of 

392
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:49,680
his time. 
The two of them. 

393
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:51,880
Isn't there? 
There's only two and he's really

394
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:53,240
good in both. 
No, what I mean there's two fast

395
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:54,440
benders. 
Oh, there's two fast benders in 

396
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:55,720
two fast. 
Yeah, exactly. 

397
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:57,640
And he's great. 
He's great in those films. 

398
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:01,120
So the X-Men Movie is more of a 
waste of his time and and 

399
00:20:01,120 --> 00:20:02,240
Assassin's. 
Creed, but again, if you look 

400
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,600
the last two years now or not 
two years, but he's he's back 

401
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:09,440
with Fincher and with Soderberg 
and kneecap and kneecap, no 

402
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,800
black. 
Bag Killer Kneecap is a really 

403
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,240
strong three movies to have for 
your window. 

404
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,480
I'm not as mad on the The 
Agency. 

405
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,120
I think it's a waste of time. 
Did you watch anymore in the 1st

406
00:20:20,120 --> 00:20:22,480
2 episodes? 
No, but like it's a fucking, 

407
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,200
it's a fucking Showtime show. 
Like the guy should be doing 

408
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,200
better stuff than that. 
Yeah. 

409
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:29,280
I don't know what he's doing 
now. 

410
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:30,400
I don't know what he's going to 
do next. 

411
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,040
He likes racing cars. 
He likes hanging out with his 

412
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:33,280
wife and kids. 
That's all fine. 

413
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,160
I'm not sure what he's like as a
as a as a personality. 

414
00:20:36,360 --> 00:20:40,280
Like, I wonder where he is on 
the on people on producers list 

415
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:41,960
now when they're trying to get a
guy to lead a film. 

416
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:43,480
Yeah. 
I mean, like, is he just, is he 

417
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,000
just completely off some 
people's board, I think. 

418
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,600
He's off some people's board. 
He never proved himself box 

419
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,760
office draw. 
There's no way. 

420
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:51,920
Like, you would have to get, I 
would say now you'd have to go 

421
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,320
13 rooms below Ryan Gosling. 
Before you'd hit Michael 

422
00:20:55,320 --> 00:21:00,040
Fassbender in 2015, it was 1 
rung below Ryan Gosling, if not 

423
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,440
a rung above. 
I mean, think about it. 

424
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:06,960
Steve Jobs jumped from DiCaprio 
to bail and then straight to 

425
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:08,560
Fastbender. 
Yeah, I don't think that they 

426
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,720
tried anyone else in between. 
Now obviously there's only a 

427
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,400
certain number of guys who could
even remotely play that part. 

428
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,800
Weird DiCaprio. 
Like, you couldn't cast, you 

429
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:22,920
know, Ryan Gosling as Steve 
Jobs, but Fastbender definitely 

430
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,560
was was riding really high and 
now not so much. 

431
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:30,480
But like, I think again, yeah, 
as you're saying, he's used so 

432
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,520
well in black bag. 
People know what to do with him.

433
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,000
Maybe his character, his 
personality and his history are 

434
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,320
not helping him there. 
He obviously doesn't seem 

435
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,920
necessarily particularly chill 
like some of these guys we're 

436
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:44,760
talking about. 
He's not like Colin Farrell, I 

437
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,880
think in terms of his 
personality, but he is 

438
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,120
incredibly talented. 
Yeah, like him popping up a 

439
00:21:50,120 --> 00:21:53,000
kneecap is probably a sign of 
his more light hearted side. 

440
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:54,280
And then he wants to work on 
Irish. 

441
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,920
Stuff to work on Irish stuff. 
He's definitely open to doing 

442
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,640
interesting things. 
So yeah, I'm not. 

443
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:01,120
I'm very happy with that. 
Choice, no. 

444
00:22:01,120 --> 00:22:04,600
And as as far as rising stars 
go, he did rise pretty much to 

445
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:05,960
the top of for sure the 
industry. 

446
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:06,440
So. 
Sure. 

447
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,960
I mean himself and and and Sir 
Sharon and are the two, yeah, 

448
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,800
real success stories. 
So what point did he he got? 

449
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:15,240
What year did he get? 
That he got that the hungry 

450
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,800
year. 
Which was 2008 thousand glorious

451
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:20,240
Basterds years. 
Old right before that. 

452
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,520
Right before that. 
Yeah, him and hunger is like the

453
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,560
incredible break out of like, 
whoa, fuck. 

454
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,480
Where this guy come from, where 
he came from? 

455
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,120
Was that Guinness? 
Oh, the Guinness ad. 

456
00:22:28,120 --> 00:22:30,080
Yeah, I was just thinking. 
But I mean, Hunger is an amazing

457
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:30,520
film. 
They. 

458
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,680
All come from ads. 
Right Fassbenders off the board.

459
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,760
Fassbenders off the board. 
We've got three each now. 

460
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,880
Now 5. 
OK, I kind of got to snag my man

461
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,080
here before someone else does 
snag. 

462
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,960
Your man DWDW all right. 
I'll play a category for him. 

463
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:52,840
You can you can put him in. 
I'm a wild card and I'm you can.

464
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:54,880
Put him in wild card, I think 
that's the only place you have 

465
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:56,880
for him right now. 
Yeah, I took my intermission. 

466
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:58,640
I took love, hate. 
Yeah. 

467
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,360
Yeah, we're a wild card. 
No, no, no, no, no. 

468
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,680
You did you take your clinic? 
Yeah. 

469
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:07,280
Oh, you did? 
Sorry. 

470
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:07,720
Yeah. 
Yeah, OK. 

471
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,280
I took seriously on that for 
some reason. 

472
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:11,840
I didn't. 
You were taking you. 

473
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:13,120
Were taking David Wilmot and 
welcome. 

474
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:14,760
I am, yeah. 
Yeah. 

475
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,960
Maybe our mutual favorite Irish 
actor. 

476
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,040
I think so. 
And I am delighted that he is 

477
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,000
now popping up in more 
mainstream stuff. 

478
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:27,400
Yeah, stuff that kind of 
maintains a certain that drives 

479
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:28,440
a certain standard out of him 
as. 

480
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:33,720
Well, I when I was watching 
Station 11 in 20/21/22, I was 

481
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,120
like, who's this guy? 
I don't know who this guy is 

482
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,360
because I didn't realize that 
the man with the beard in 

483
00:23:38,360 --> 00:23:40,760
session 11 was the man with the 
teeth in intermission. 

484
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,120
Yes, and that I had enjoyed 
multiple performances of his 20 

485
00:23:44,120 --> 00:23:47,040
years ago when he was cleaning. 
In the guard he has a. 

486
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:52,560
Massive mouth and crazy teeth 
and now has found this new look 

487
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,920
where none of that is visible. 
No, and it seems to be really 

488
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,440
helping his career and getting 
more interesting work. 

489
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:05,800
Like it's it's a complete change
in like prospects, yeah for oh 

490
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:06,960
he's. 
He's been tasked completely 

491
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,000
different types of people. 
Yeah, he was Weasley little man 

492
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,640
when he was. 
Younger and now he's like this, 

493
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,960
like kind of incredibly warm 
paternal figure. 

494
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,360
Yeah, with like he plays the 
editor of an investigative 

495
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,920
newspaper and industry recently 
and that is good casting. 

496
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,520
Fantastic and and just felt like
a real like journalist of great 

497
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,480
integrity. 
Obviously in Station 11 he plays

498
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:29,960
this like gay theatre actor. 
Slash CEO Yeah, who ends up. 

499
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,360
Getting accidentally made the 
mayor of an airport Yeah, 

500
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,720
society during a pandemic that 
lasts for 30 years. 

501
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,000
Yeah, it turns out if you want 
to take over a wasted society 

502
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:41,920
known a bit of Shakespeare 
actually convinces a lot of 

503
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:43,560
people to take you seriously. 
Yes. 

504
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:47,040
And now he's currently in 
cinemas in as maybe the best 

505
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:51,800
thing I'm hearing in Holcomb. 
Yeah, Holcomb is a very solid 

506
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:55,520
output and A and a welcome 
improvement on Bodkin, I'd say. 

507
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,680
Yeah. 
Yes, he was in Bodkin. 

508
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,720
Where is. 
Bodkin is made for Americans to 

509
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,320
laugh at Irish people. 
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 

510
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,120
But hokum is made for. 
Irish Americans A. 

511
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,160
Little bit of Irish people to 
laugh at Americans, but everyone

512
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:09,520
to have a good time. 
Yeah, yeah. 

513
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,520
Like Americans like it, Irish 
people like it. 

514
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,920
He's in fucking everything, like
he's in every TV show now. 

515
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,120
And Oscar nominated Hamlet. 
He's in Hamlet, yeah. 

516
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,360
And I'm so glad we managed to 
orchestrate a moment at the 

517
00:25:21,360 --> 00:25:24,560
Iftas this year where Hamlet 
wins best International Film. 

518
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:28,120
And we got him up on stage with 
Jessie Buckley because I think a

519
00:25:28,120 --> 00:25:30,600
lot of people in that room 
forgot that he was in it. 

520
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:32,880
Yeah, they might have seen him 
pop up in it and been like, oh, 

521
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:35,520
let's David Wilmot. 
And then like, he's gone after 

522
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,200
three scenes and they probably 
forgot months later that they've

523
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:39,440
seen him. 
And then you get him up and say 

524
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,960
to the Iftas, he's there with 
Jesse Louisa Harland and Bodie 

525
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,480
Ray Branox. 
And you're like, that's a great 

526
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,800
roster of Irish talents I for a 
Best picture nominated film to 

527
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:48,920
have. 
I think he's got a distinct 

528
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,800
enough look now, and I think 
he's got enough presents that 

529
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,040
when he pops up as like the 12th
guy in a season of industry, 

530
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:56,840
people will remember. 
He'll remember, see him again, I

531
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:58,760
think so, yeah. 
He doesn't just drift into the 

532
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:00,680
background. 
Which bringing after has exact 

533
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,240
same quality. 
I think so. 

534
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:06,560
But I think he also kind of is 
very well cast as Paul Meskel's 

535
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,360
father. 
I think that that's actually a 

536
00:26:08,360 --> 00:26:09,960
whole niche he could maybe 
capitalize on. 

537
00:26:10,360 --> 00:26:12,480
You could cast him as Paul 
Meskel's father in a lot of 

538
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,120
stuff. 
I think that he laughed because 

539
00:26:14,120 --> 00:26:16,560
he's so much more interesting. 
But he he's got a bit of Paul 

540
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:21,640
Meskel's features behind that 
beard and kind of did look like 

541
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,120
Paul Meskel when he was younger 
with, with different teeth. 

542
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,440
And I think he he could play in 
a Hardwick's father and Paul 

543
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:28,800
Messick's father in a lot of 
stuff. 

544
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:30,920
Yeah, sure. 
So, well, let's off. 

545
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:32,680
The board worked with Dana 
Hardwick. 

546
00:26:34,120 --> 00:26:36,480
Has he worked with him? 
Yeah, not. 

547
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,200
Not they they do. 
That would be a fun pair. 

548
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,680
I'd I'd watch that, yeah. 
So you've you've snatched both 

549
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,040
the both of our favorite 
character actors now. 

550
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,640
Yeah, I should have probably 
gotten a heady on one of them. 

551
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,680
But there's one more there that 
I I wish I could have taken, but

552
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,680
I don't think I can. 
I'm completely ruled out. 

553
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:56,240
So you've picked 4 now and I've 
picked 3 I. 

554
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,640
Didn't do my ordering. 
I still have my Love hate clinic

555
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:04,400
up for grabs, so I think I'm 
going to go to that now and I 

556
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,280
think I'm going to go Aiden 
Gillett. 

557
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,720
Yeah, that's that's why I was 
missing out. 

558
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:12,200
I can't say Aiden Gillett is 
quite as much of A draw to me as

559
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:17,040
Wilmot or Brian F, but Aiden 
Gillen has the highest highs 

560
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:20,440
imaginable. 
Those highs to name just two 

561
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:26,280
being the the Bane sequence in 
The Dark Knight Rises and his 

562
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:32,560
entire performance in Trat, 
which is extraordinary work by a

563
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:36,280
great talent. 
Harky is his characters name. 

564
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,920
Harky Man with the big 
sunglasses and the white fluffy 

565
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:40,080
hat. 
You see him on the poster. 

566
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,320
Tried in cinemas. 
Now toes the line of. 

567
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,160
Silly and serious. 
Borderline Nancy like. 

568
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:47,800
Borderline Nancy. 
Yeah, he's basically. 

569
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:49,200
But it never gets sinister or 
something. 

570
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,840
No, he's so charming and so 
funny and he's just got this 

571
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,880
like Dublin chancer energy that 
works so well and stuff. 

572
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,320
And then in in Dark Knight 
Rises, obviously he's the guy in

573
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,480
the opening sequence in the the 
plane with Bane. 

574
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,760
I've never watched the Wire to 
the point that he shows up. 

575
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:05,400
I've never I've never seen him 
in the Wire. 

576
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,840
And I feel like if I see him in 
the Wire, I'm probably going to 

577
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:09,400
have an even greater 
appreciation for him because 

578
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:10,760
that seems like a role I'm going
to really. 

579
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,920
He also he also of course has 
the the wonderful line delivery 

580
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:18,240
of your dirt bird and red coat 
rust the line. 20 years. 

581
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,760
So now you'll be marrying you're
some dirt bird down at the Red 

582
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,320
Cow roundabout. 
The Red Cow roundabout, Yeah. 

583
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,680
And then he's also we also 
already in Hurley. 

584
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,520
Yeah, yeah. 
Thoroughly enjoyed his work in 

585
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:35,080
the 2023 detective movie, Barber
replayed Val Barber, Private 

586
00:28:35,120 --> 00:28:37,120
Eye, who has an office on Dave 
St. 

587
00:28:37,120 --> 00:28:40,400
Basically where my office is and
is like going for meetings out 

588
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,520
in Sandyford. 
I think we really like his 

589
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,880
department. 
In love hate in dump contract. 

590
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:46,400
I've never been to that. 
You walked down to it. 

591
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,480
And he also plays Johnny Kin 
Kin. 

592
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,480
I mean, he's unfortunately 
fallen into a little bit of a 

593
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:57,440
like, he gets kind of typecast 
as like Dublin gangster man in a

594
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,040
way that I don't find 
interesting at all. 

595
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,640
But he's also in the Taylor 
Sheridan world. 

596
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:07,440
He's in Mayor of Kingstown. 
And he was in that movie that 

597
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,640
Taylor Sheridan directed with 
Angelina Jolie about the 

598
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,680
wildfires, where him and 
Nicholas Holt play a sort of 

599
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:16,600
like dastardly duo of hitman who
were sent after her. 

600
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,160
And like, that's actually a 
really fun bit of cast him and 

601
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:20,640
Nicholas Holt as like a pair of 
hitman. 

602
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:24,200
I think he has a little bit of a
quality to him that OK, this is 

603
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,520
going to be, this is not a 
direct comparison or equation. 

604
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:31,240
But you see, I've said this 
before maybe about Adam Driver 

605
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:35,240
and Al Pacino, where their 
outbursts come when you don't 

606
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:39,720
expect he has the kind of at his
highs, he will drop in something

607
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,680
that's fucking hilarious. 
Yes, yes, out of nowhere, which 

608
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,200
I guess, I guess the dirt bird 
is kind of in there like that. 

609
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,240
It's like like I can imagine him
saying she's got a. 

610
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,200
Great. 
Yeah, it's true. 

611
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:53,960
Yeah, I know he's great. 
And like he did tried like I 

612
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:57,160
think basically for free to get 
paid and he just fucking hangs 

613
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:58,440
around Dublin and it's just 
like. 

614
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:00,880
Sounds like people St. one day. 
Yeah, he seems like a nice 

615
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:04,960
characters, like like music and 
film and theatre and yeah, I 

616
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,200
like him a lot. 
All right, we're halfway 

617
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:08,400
through. 
We need to speed this up a bit. 

618
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:10,120
Do we I? 
I thought we were flying through

619
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,200
this way. 
Before 4:00 and 4:00 so. 

620
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,400
OK, I still don't. 
Love your love hate, love hate 

621
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,840
and the clinic actors are off 
the board intermission and the 

622
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:18,800
guard actors are off the board. 
We have got. 

623
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,360
I need an Oscar nominee. 
Yeah, we both, we both need an 

624
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:26,440
Oscar nominee. 
OK. 

625
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,880
No one has picked an Oscar 
nominee and I have picked an IF 

626
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:31,080
to life term achievement 
recipient. 

627
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:32,120
It's an orange. 
Nissan, right? 

628
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:33,200
So that was an orange. 
OK. 

629
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:37,080
I need a roller cork. 
I need a Northern Irish I. 

630
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:37,960
Need. 
OK, so three more. 

631
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:38,520
Each. 
Yeah. 

632
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:41,160
Is it three more each? 
Oh yeah. 

633
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,360
And plus wild card. 
So it's four more each. 

634
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,360
Yeah. 
Yeah, sure. 

635
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,360
Yeah, we'll we'll figure out all
I need a rising stars though. 

636
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:54,560
OK, where will I go with this? 
I think we're we're maybe 

637
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:56,720
skewing very male. 
I'm just going to flag that. 

638
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:58,200
Yeah, I got, I got search around
in there. 

639
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,880
Yeah, I know, and I've got 
Allison, but we also have then 

640
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,400
three men each. 
I I haven't done the stats on 

641
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,360
the on the. 
Machine here, I'll make up for 

642
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:06,280
it later. 
Let's. 

643
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:07,600
See. 
Leave it with me. 

644
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,760
The wild card, I know what 
you're on with your wild card. 

645
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:14,400
I don't think you do. 
I think I do. 

646
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:21,640
I might surprise. 
You Kieran Hines if a lifetime 

647
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:23,240
achievement recipient. 
Very good. 

648
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,000
Well deserved. 
I mean, again, that's a great 

649
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:27,080
choice. 
I wish I got that. 

650
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:31,360
Kieran Hines is just like the 
number one movie star of 2026 in

651
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:32,440
my heart. 
A little bit. 

652
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,200
He's on a, he's on a halfway 
around this year, like just. 

653
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,040
Insane. 
I spent the first month of the 

654
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,880
year watching Kieran Hines 
movies at work all day every 

655
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:43,400
day, cutting out clips of them 
to build the perfect 8 minute 

656
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,680
montage that you can watch on 
YouTube now. 

657
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:49,040
Yeah. 
Umm, I then met the man and he 

658
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:53,040
was, well, I'd met him before, 
but he was so lovely, yeah. 

659
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:55,880
A brief interaction with him 
having to tell him where to go. 

660
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:57,920
He's a white guy, held his 
champagne flute. 

661
00:31:58,080 --> 00:31:59,160
There you go. 
He held his flute. 

662
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,000
He's such a lovely man, I. 
Think he's very drunk, but he 

663
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:03,320
was. 
He's in great form. 

664
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,360
Yeah, he's got a lovely family, 
lovely wife, lovely daughter who

665
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:11,400
were both actresses as well. 
Great stuff on the dry recently 

666
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:15,200
where he and his real life wife 
Ellen are playing like a couple 

667
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,040
and it's really fun. 
Yeah. 

668
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,680
Juice box scene. 
Is this one of the best scenes 

669
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:21,960
of the year? 
Fantastic, almost had a real 

670
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,480
life. 
Problem into that witness. 

671
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:26,200
Yeah. 
What else you got coming up? 

672
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,960
Oh, midwinter break. 
Not amazing, but fine. 

673
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:30,000
Oh, you watched it? 
Yeah. 

674
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:30,960
Yeah. 
See, in cinema. 

675
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,760
No, I watched the plane. 
Very plane movie. 

676
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,800
Yeah, he's fine in it. 
And then you've got the Narnia 

677
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,640
movie. 
He's in the fucking Chris O'Dowd

678
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,840
Jane Fonda Belfast's Sorry is 
it? 

679
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,480
Friday Neeson's in the original 
Narnia series, isn't he? 

680
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:46,880
He voices Aslan. 
Yeah. 

681
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:48,320
And now Meryl Streep's gonna be 
voicing Aslan. 

682
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:49,240
OK. 
Yeah. 

683
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:50,320
Which is a great choice. 
Yeah. 

684
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,400
That's really fun. 
Meryl Streep is. 

685
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:53,680
Jesus Christ. 
Yep. 

686
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:55,640
Eh. 
But yeah, Heinz is just, like, 

687
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:57,480
getting so much work. 
Oh, he's going to be in the new 

688
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,000
Tom Ford thing. 
Oh, with all this the opera. 

689
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,680
Adele the opera. 
Adele sexy boys movie. 

690
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:04,480
Yeah. 
Yeah, no, he's a man. 

691
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:06,920
I have definitely grown who 
appreciate the swag in the last.

692
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,840
Year so much and. 
Veronica Year and he looks sick.

693
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,720
He's so attractive and so cool. 
He's he was so attractive when 

694
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:14,800
he's younger and he's still 
attractive in this just like big

695
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:16,800
square way. 
Like he's just a big. 

696
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:20,160
Sexy cute man. 
Yeah, he's great and he's got 

697
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:21,640
this great face. 
He's got incredible. 

698
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,080
Like I remember 10 years ago, 
he's popping up in Justice 

699
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,600
League as like a mocap fucking 
character Steppenwolf. 

700
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,160
And I was like, she's, I was 
like, I kind of know who this 

701
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:31,880
guy is, but like, he's not 
someone who's really on my 

702
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,800
radar. 
And now I'm like, how dare Zack 

703
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,240
Snyder cast Kieran Hines in a 
film and not put his face? 

704
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,160
On Yeah that that is the third 
lead of There will be blood 

705
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,560
leading the. 
Man has an incredible mouth and 

706
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:44,400
jaw. 
Why are you not and and chin, 

707
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:46,000
why are you not using the lower 
half of his face? 

708
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,840
Yeah, we love Kieran Hines. 
We're we might honestly like 

709
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,400
there is a world where I would 
consider starting a Kieran Hines

710
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,680
podcast after Boy Party ends 
because the filmography is 

711
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:57,480
incredible. 
Kieran Hines, David Willemith. 

712
00:33:58,080 --> 00:33:58,720
Yes. 
No. 

713
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:00,360
Because you could just go 
through and you could just do 

714
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,440
episodes on Munich. 
There will be Blood Race, Witch 

715
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:04,400
Mountain, all these Irish films 
you'd be like. 

716
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:08,239
His, his, his look in the dry is
very funny. 

717
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,120
The way he's just like wearing 
khaki shorts everywhere. 

718
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,280
Yeah, yeah, because he's just 
playing like there's a Topper 

719
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:16,239
called yes there. 
Is giant, unkempt divorced man 

720
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:20,440
like, oh, he's great, All right,
my turn, my turn. 

721
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:26,760
So I am going to go, I'm going 
to go Northern Irish, Stephen 

722
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:28,440
Ray. 
Yeah, yeah. 

723
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,560
I think he's the other legend 
that needs to be recognized 

724
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:35,199
along with Neeson and and Karen 
Hynes. 

725
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,239
He's so great. 
He's got so much personality 

726
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:41,159
when he's young. 
He's got great, great kind of 

727
00:34:41,159 --> 00:34:43,040
gravitas now. 
I mean, a lot of what we just 

728
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:44,960
said about Karen Hynes applies 
to Stephen Ray, but Stephen, 

729
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,280
Stephen Ray is a bit more of a 
kind of interesting mischief to 

730
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,280
him. 
And like has played a lot of IRA

731
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,679
men and a lot of of kind of 
radical Republicans over the 

732
00:34:52,679 --> 00:34:54,040
years. 
And he has a bit of that spirit 

733
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:55,400
to him. 
Obviously really interested 

734
00:34:55,679 --> 00:34:58,720
family connections in terms of 
his late wife and the character 

735
00:34:58,720 --> 00:35:01,560
that she was and she's obviously
been depicted in the show say 

736
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:05,640
nothing played by Hazel Doop in 
that show, but she she was 

737
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,760
really interesting and he's such
a compelling guy and amazing 

738
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,320
work he did with Neil Jordan all
to the 90s. 

739
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,800
He's great in the Crying Game, 
which he of course, was Oscar 

740
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:17,440
nominated for. 
And now he's sort of doing a lot

741
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:21,400
of Beckett on stage. 
And, and I, I've, I've only had 

742
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:25,600
very nice interactions with him.
He's he's very, very he feels 

743
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,680
like a like a kind of a an 
interesting kind of poet 

744
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:34,120
character in a way that Kieran 
Hines is very kind of presence 

745
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:38,520
has a lot of physical. 
Not old fish in his foot like. 

746
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,720
Yeah, but he's he takes up a lot
of space in the room a good way.

747
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,160
Stephen Ray kind of doesn't he 
kind of like kind of like kind 

748
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:45,920
of like kind of hides in the 
corners like. 

749
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:47,560
And I really like that about 
him. 

750
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,880
And I don't know how many, how 
many kind of film roles he has 

751
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:54,960
left in his career, but happy to
see anything else he he does. 

752
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,840
And like, I always loved looking
back at a film from 2530 years 

753
00:35:57,840 --> 00:35:59,880
ago and finding out Stephen Ray 
is like the 12th lead. 

754
00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:00,800
Yeah. 
Yeah. 

755
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:02,600
This is going to be, there's 
going to be two great scenes in 

756
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:06,640
this and yeah, huge respect for 
him. 

757
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,200
So he is definitely going with 
and he endorsed Catherine 

758
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,200
Connelly for president. 
And there's only, I think one 

759
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,560
other actor on this entire list,
maybe 2 that I could say that 

760
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:14,160
about. 
So. 

761
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:16,920
They were. 
They were all very silent. 

762
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:20,800
So Northern Irish is now off the
board, all right. 

763
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:25,920
We have both an Oscar nominee to
pick and. 

764
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:27,240
I have a rising star. 
You have a. 

765
00:36:27,240 --> 00:36:29,440
Rising star to pick and you have
a Galway cork. 

766
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:30,760
And then we both. 
Like Cork. 

767
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:34,120
OK, where will I go? 
Where will I go? 

768
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:39,280
Just gonna flag that about the 
skewing mail once again, even 

769
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:40,360
though I just picked another 
man. 

770
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:43,280
Sorry, did you not pick Colin 
Farrell as Oscar nominee? 

771
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:46,240
No, I pick Colin Farrell as 
intermission. 

772
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:47,040
Oh, he did. 
Yeah. 

773
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:57,400
Well, then let me go Carrie Con 
and roster nominee. 

774
00:36:57,840 --> 00:36:59,480
All right, Yeah. 
Good choice. 

775
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,160
Excellent. 
Yeah, I think now we're just 

776
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:04,280
like, buzzing every time her 
name pops up in some sort. 

777
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,240
Of I think so, yeah. 
And they're they're letting her 

778
00:37:06,240 --> 00:37:08,000
be Irish, which. 
Is that nervy Irish? 

779
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:14,240
And she's so Irish, I know. 
That's that's usually a bad a 

780
00:37:14,240 --> 00:37:15,840
bad. 
Thing I think it's a bad thing 

781
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,200
when it's Paul Maskel and the 
good thing that's Kerry Condon. 

782
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,280
Yeah, despite her being more 
extreme in that direction. 

783
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:26,760
But she, she, I don't think, I 
think Carrie Condon isn't half 

784
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,360
as interesting on screen when 
she's not Irish. 

785
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:31,640
Yeah. 
She never really popped in 

786
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,480
Better Call Saul for me. 
I watched that whole show she's 

787
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:35,880
in. 
I feel like every season she 

788
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:37,800
plays Mike's daughter-in-law. 
Yeah. 

789
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:42,040
And she's just kind of like the 
the single mom who needs his 

790
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:43,400
help. 
Because you have a complete 

791
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:44,560
opposite reaction to Sarah 
Roman. 

792
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:46,440
Where I think she's, yeah, 
exactly. 

793
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:47,840
I think she's so. 
Good. 

794
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:49,560
American and not when she's 
Irish. 

795
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:50,320
Yeah, exactly. 
I do. 

796
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:54,400
But I think Carrie Condon is 
like a type of rural Irish woman

797
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:57,000
that I find really entertaining.
Yeah. 

798
00:37:57,040 --> 00:38:00,440
She has such a kind of a 
wildness to her as this like 

799
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,960
Tipperary personality that I'm 
like, why would you ever want to

800
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,360
dilute that? 
That is such a special quality 

801
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:08,000
search. 
Ronan is a bit more of like 

802
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,640
Irish woman that just exists in 
Dublin that you see all the 

803
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:12,840
time. 
I don't know, but like Carrie 

804
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:14,960
Condon, throw in that like 
fucking. 

805
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:20,120
Tipperary into F1 was 1 not 
supercharged the Lockheed 

806
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,560
engineer. 
Yeah, she's the only good thing 

807
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:24,560
in that very bad film, in my 
opinion. 

808
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:26,560
But it's good they don't make it
an issue. 

809
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:27,600
Out of it? 
No, they're not. 

810
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:29,920
Like what an unusual accent do 
you have? 

811
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,240
She's like, no, I'm just here, I
work here. 

812
00:38:32,240 --> 00:38:35,800
What do you want me to say? 
She's got pressure coming out 

813
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:36,840
this year. 
Yeah. 

814
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:38,360
Can't remember if she's Irish or
English and. 

815
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:41,240
That she was in train dreams. 
She was in train Dreams, which 

816
00:38:41,240 --> 00:38:44,120
she is fine in. 
She's in 2 1/2 scenes. 

817
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:50,120
She, of course, popped up in 
like a Star Wars TV show that I 

818
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:52,200
never I never watched about two 
years ago. 

819
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:53,880
That was like her one big like 
she. 

820
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:55,640
Doing a Star Wars accent or an 
Irish accent I. 

821
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:57,120
Think she was doing a Star Wars 
accent. 

822
00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:00,760
The Irish don't existence space.
She's also been in multiple Iron

823
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:05,080
Man, Spiderman and Avengers 
movies as the voice of an AI. 

824
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:09,320
She's Friday, the robot 
assistant who lives in Iron 

825
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:10,320
Man's helmet. 
Don't. 

826
00:39:10,720 --> 00:39:12,360
Worry about it. 
Easy money for her. 

827
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:13,840
Yeah, again the. 
Easiest money she. 

828
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:17,840
Sells her own voice so that's a 
Hollywood studio embracing the 

829
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:19,360
tip accent, which you really 
like Yeah. 

830
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:22,640
Up tip, she's great fun. 
Carrie Con and she owns those of

831
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:24,160
horses. 
She does so. 

832
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:25,760
And loves them dearly. 
She loves them dearly. 

833
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:28,440
So Carrie Condon. 
So Oscar nominee. 

834
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:29,640
We've got one off the board 
there. 

835
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:33,120
Great. 
All right, my turn again. 

836
00:39:34,240 --> 00:39:41,200
I am going to. 
I'm gonna guess I should get my 

837
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:45,080
Oscar nominee over with. 
We're running out of options on.

838
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:46,680
The You don't have to pick your 
Oscar nominee. 

839
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:48,720
You have to pick at the bunch 
because I can't go back. 

840
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:50,720
You can't go back. 
Yeah, we've we've used up a lot 

841
00:39:50,720 --> 00:39:54,200
of the Oscar nominees, though. 
Kieran, Colin Neeson, 

842
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:57,360
Fassbender, Ronan Ray are all 
gone. 

843
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:00,840
And I'm not particularly. 
And Condon, I'm not really 

844
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:02,840
enthused about any of the Oscar 
nominees who were left. 

845
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:05,520
But I have to pick one, yeah. 
So I think it's important for me

846
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:07,680
to pick the best of the bunch 
while I can. 

847
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:10,080
Yeah. 
So I'm going to be really boring

848
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:11,280
and I'm going to pick Killian 
Murphy. 

849
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:13,320
An Oscar nominee or winner, he 
is. 

850
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:14,920
Of course, no. 
I would have taken him in the 

851
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:18,280
cork category I think if you 
hadn't picked him now. 

852
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:20,040
OK. 
But I think I'm leaving you with

853
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:21,480
some good choices in the core 
category. 

854
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:22,960
Yeah, well, at least one good. 
Choice. 

855
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:24,480
That's it. 
I thought I had more. 

856
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:26,800
I had more options in the core 
category. 

857
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:31,080
I'd be lying if I said I was 
massively enthused by Barry 

858
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:34,640
Cohen, Brenda Fricker, Brendan 
Gleeson, Jessie Buckley, Paul 

859
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:36,920
Mescala, Ruth not a. 
Yeah, I mean, the only one of 

860
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,800
those that I am documented as 
actually liking very much is 

861
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:42,160
Brendan Gleeson. 
I I would say the other, the 

862
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:46,240
other four there among five or 
among the Irish actors I am 

863
00:40:46,240 --> 00:40:49,240
least enthusiastic about. 
Sure, Killian Murphy obviously 

864
00:40:49,240 --> 00:40:52,080
is kind of a no brainer choice 
here, but I'm glad we've it's 

865
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:57,160
taken US 40 minutes to get to 
him ultimately, like, I do love 

866
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,120
Killian Murphy. 
He is a great actor. 

867
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:01,680
He is well deserving of his 
Oscar. 

868
00:41:02,240 --> 00:41:04,640
I have maybe a slight bit of 
fatigue at this point of him 

869
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:07,600
being our number one cultural 
output of the last couple of 

870
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:09,960
years. 
But I mean, he's he's certainly 

871
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:13,520
he's he's much more deserving of
his success than some people. 

872
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:19,320
And he is making cool stuff now.
I mean, he's done his two fairly

873
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:21,720
uninteresting movies 
back-to-back for Stephen. 

874
00:41:21,720 --> 00:41:23,520
Stephen. 
Small things, yeah, but now 

875
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:25,440
he's. 
He's oh, sorry, that thing is 

876
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:26,920
coming. 
Up Peaky Blinders was fine. 

877
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,560
The movie was just That was him 
just rounding out his little 

878
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:32,160
project? 
Yeah, the Chazelle movie with 

879
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:33,640
Daniel Craig and Michelle 
Williams. 

880
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:35,800
That's going to be really, 
really cool. 

881
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:39,600
And I think that's great. 
Look, I'm going to go work with 

882
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:42,760
the director who's maybe a 
little bit in director jail but 

883
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,720
has an Oscar and I have an 
Oscar, and together we can get a

884
00:41:45,720 --> 00:41:47,120
big budget. 
Produced. 

885
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:50,240
Yeah. 2 1/2 of best films, the 
last. 

886
00:41:50,240 --> 00:41:52,440
Absolutely. 
So it's a great choice. 

887
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:56,480
And I think it's like, I like 
the stuff of dreams. 

888
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:58,560
A decade ago, if you said 
Killian Murphy's be the lead of 

889
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:01,040
a Damian fucking yes, that's 
class. 

890
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:03,800
So yeah, I mean, the couple 
always like Kelly Murphy and I 

891
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:07,360
think you and I had him on our 
you had him on the 21st century 

892
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,000
Golden Boys, a nominee for 
Breakfast and Pluto. 

893
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:11,520
Yes. 
And that was well deserved. 

894
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:15,160
Performance that I was reminded 
of yesterday in a matter of life

895
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:17,520
and death by the the French men 
I thought they were kind of just

896
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:19,400
kind of similar the. 
French dandy in that French. 

897
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:21,840
Dandy in. 
That All right, so Kelly Murphy 

898
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:25,160
off the board Oscar nominee 
category done All right, yeah, 

899
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:28,640
we're done that category. 
OK, so every categories now had 

900
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:32,400
somebody picked. 
So now you have a rising star, 

901
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:35,800
you have a Galway or core. 
Yeah, you have a wild card. 

902
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:40,600
I have a wild card or cards. 
We both have a wild card. 

903
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:42,560
I picked Wilmont, my wild card. 
You picked Wilmont, your wild 

904
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:43,440
card. 
Oh, apologies. 

905
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:44,520
That makes sense. 
That explains that. 

906
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:48,760
OK, great. 
So you're going next? 

907
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:53,360
Well, I go now. 
I have a lot of time for Chris. 

908
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:56,200
Wally given a very nice personal
interaction I had with man he's.

909
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:58,960
A great guy. 
He's a great guy, he's very kind

910
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:00,600
and asked me my name. 
He's so lovely. 

911
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:07,200
But I do have to snag in a hard 
way here, I believe from Cork, 

912
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:09,720
that's correct. 
Just as a this is a this is an 

913
00:43:09,720 --> 00:43:13,040
investment pick as well as a 
current enthusiasm pick. 

914
00:43:13,240 --> 00:43:15,040
Alice and Oliver name Hard work 
are both really strong 

915
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:17,280
investment. 
They're playing, they're in 

916
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:18,440
something together, aren't they 
coming up? 

917
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:20,240
They are. 
I can't remember what it's 

918
00:43:20,240 --> 00:43:20,960
called together. 
Yeah. 

919
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:30,000
Yeah, cool guy. 
I was very, very impressed by 

920
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:33,640
what he produced in Saipan. 
And it's very strange when 

921
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:38,160
you're kind of doing a doing a 
performance of someone who is 

922
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:41,880
kind of a caricature already. 
Working as a cartoon man and. 

923
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:44,600
He kind of reversed engineered 
the cartoon of Roy Keane back 

924
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:47,040
into a real person I know, which
is pretty impressive. 

925
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:50,320
It's really like the final 
confrontation scene in the in 

926
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:53,560
the conference room or in the 
Yeah, events room, the hotel. 

927
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:55,240
You're you're just on the edge 
of your. 

928
00:43:55,240 --> 00:43:57,720
Seat, I know it's interesting 
because I think Chris Walley 

929
00:43:57,720 --> 00:44:00,560
probably would have been the 
next choice to play Roy Keane if

930
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:02,640
Aya Hardwick wasn't around. 
I think so. 

931
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:04,520
I think if you're going down. 
I don't think he has the 

932
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:05,800
physical. 
I just think there's. 

933
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:07,320
The physicality if. 
You're going, if you're going 

934
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:10,600
through Cork, young Cork actors,
yeah, You don't have many other 

935
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:14,320
choices like so Aya. 
Has the the sternness in the 

936
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:15,960
face? 
He does, yeah, but no, Aya's got

937
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:19,000
an amazing face. 
Yeah, and he's he's he's doing 

938
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:20,640
bets and bases. 
He's got this Chatting Tatum, 

939
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:23,680
Isle of Man motor racing. 
Thing, yeah, which is good. 

940
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:27,200
Again, it's I'm hoping these are
stepping stones to him 

941
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:30,440
potentially getting leading 
roles in British American films.

942
00:44:30,720 --> 00:44:32,840
He was in an ordinary Ice, which
we haven't gotten around to. 

943
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:35,080
Yeah, he was in that, but he 
got, he got a lot of attention 

944
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:38,200
for that BBC show The 6th 
Commandment with Timothy's Ball,

945
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:40,960
where he was playing like a kind
of a, a gay serial killer 

946
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:44,040
priest, which was like a really.
Complicated part. 

947
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:46,400
Yeah, and he was that was a 
scary part and he was very good.

948
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:49,760
And then he's obviously really 
good and make lands and in 

949
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:52,920
normal people I think he 
outshines Paul Maskell in those 

950
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:55,040
scenes. 
So big fan. 

951
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:59,120
So that's your Cork and Galway. 
That's my cork, man, that's. 

952
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:03,960
That category is now done, so if
the rising star winner. 

953
00:45:05,240 --> 00:45:06,480
I need to pick one of those. 
You have one. 

954
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:07,920
Oh yeah, So I'm going with my 
walk. 

955
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:09,600
I have to my wild card, I guess 
if we're if we're back and 

956
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:11,440
forth. 
You have. 

957
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:13,800
I have just got a wild card 
left. 

958
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:16,200
Surely not. 
No, I went first. 

959
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:18,840
OK, then we're confused. 
Which one have I not picked? 

960
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:22,920
So I thought I had picked 
someone in the if a lifetime 

961
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:24,040
recipient category, but I 
hadn't. 

962
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:28,640
So my choices are Brendan 
O'carroll, Brian Murray, 

963
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:34,840
Kulamini, Fenuila Flanagan, 
Gabriel Byrne and Pierce 

964
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:38,800
Brosnan. 
Interesting. 

965
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:41,680
There's sort of three strong 
contenders there. 

966
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:46,480
Like these, these are all these 
aren't all the the four quadrant

967
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:48,400
actors. 
They've all got 2 probably 

968
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:50,360
positives and two you're missing
out on. 

969
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:54,000
Like, I'm ruling out Brendan 
O'carroll, Brian Murray and Neil

970
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:55,800
Flanagan. 
You really ruled her out. 

971
00:45:55,880 --> 00:46:01,080
I'm ruling out Columbini. 
It's between Gabriel and Pierce.

972
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:03,400
Really. 
OK, I'm gonna go with Pierce 

973
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:06,360
Brosnan. 
I think Pierce Brosnan 

974
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:10,480
ultimately is one of our the 
most successful commercial, yeah

975
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:13,680
stars and has given some 
performances I really enjoy, 

976
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:15,760
even if they're a little on the 
sillier side. 

977
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:21,320
But he's got a lot going for him
and he's still showing up in big

978
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:24,360
movies decades after he stopped 
being James Bond. 

979
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:26,960
Having that counts for a lot 
and. 

980
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:29,520
I mean, he's probably just as 
well known from me and knows. 

981
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:32,440
He is and I love him in the 
Miami of films and he's great 

982
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:35,360
fun. 
I don't have any special 

983
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:38,120
feelings towards Gabriel Byrne, 
although I admire him. 

984
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:41,400
He has been the lead of a Coen 
Brothers movie, but it is a Coen

985
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:43,640
Brothers movie that I don't very
much care for. 

986
00:46:43,720 --> 00:46:47,480
So I think got to go with my my 
heart here. 

987
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:50,880
Pierce is the number one guy for
doing Irish films. 

988
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:54,600
He's not. 
Which is probably he lacks the 

989
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:58,520
kind of the the local, the 
homely local presence that. 

990
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:01,600
You must keep in mind the way he
did effectively play Jerry Adams

991
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:04,520
in the movie The the, the 
foreigner that we covered on 

992
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:07,160
this show. 
So that's that's, that's a film 

993
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:10,080
set in Ireland, Yeah. 
Yeah, so. 

994
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:13,240
Pierce, I've taken Pierce 
Brosnan in lifetime achievement 

995
00:47:13,240 --> 00:47:15,840
recipient and now I just have my
wild card left. 

996
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:17,760
All right, back to you, back to 
me. 

997
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:19,240
Pick one of the if the rising 
stars. 

998
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:21,360
No, I thought, I thought Anna 
had a bird award. 

999
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:24,440
Who beat him that year? 
Anna was beaten by Ethan. 

1000
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:26,560
Ethan McArdle. 
See, it's not always an actor. 

1001
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:28,360
Yeah. 
All right, so we read out the 

1002
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:29,840
the other winners of the bird 
award. 

1003
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:32,360
Yeah. 
So Ashley Franciosi, Anthony 

1004
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:37,120
Boyle, Donald Leeson, Jacob 
McCarthy, Jamie Dornan, Louisa 

1005
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:40,440
Harland, Nicola Cochlan, Patrick
Gibson, Sarah Green and Siobhan 

1006
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:47,480
Cullen. 
No one here I have insanely 

1007
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:49,800
strong. 
There's obviously feelings. 

1008
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:53,320
There's three names on there 
that are like actual 

1009
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:58,040
international stars. 
Nicola, Anthony and Jamie. 

1010
00:47:58,040 --> 00:47:59,760
Oh, I was going to say Jamie, 
Nicola, don't. 

1011
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:01,120
Oh, sorry. 
Don't I miss, don't listen. 

1012
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:05,520
Yeah, yeah, like Jamie Doran and
Donald Gleason, guys I like, but

1013
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:07,520
I'd never be excited knowing 
they're in. 

1014
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:08,480
Something. 
Yeah, me neither. 

1015
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:10,880
I know. 
Now they they probably have a 

1016
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:14,320
higher hit rate of being good in
something than maybe some of the

1017
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:15,400
others. 
I just haven't really seen 

1018
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:18,160
Nicola in any. 
Eh, phone call and probably just

1019
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:19,240
doesn't have the film chops she 
hasn't. 

1020
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:21,040
She hasn't got a lot of film 
credits yet. 

1021
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:26,320
Now she's great on TV. 
Nicola Cochlin, no strong 

1022
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:28,320
feelings towards her, but I 
think if I was going to take her

1023
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:31,200
I'd have taken her under the 
Galway category just to to get 

1024
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:32,280
that across. 
Sure. 

1025
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:37,280
Yeah, it's a tough, that's a 
tough list to choose from. 

1026
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:39,640
That's. 
A tough list and and that makes 

1027
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:43,160
it sound bad. 
Sarah Green, of course, great 

1028
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:45,640
and tried. 
Great and tried the guard as the

1029
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:47,560
mother from Cork. 
Yeah, I wonder. 

1030
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:49,040
I hope that's the same character
from the guard. 

1031
00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:53,160
Yeah, I think it is. 
Who are we on with? 

1032
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:56,280
So I think, I think the girl in 
the girl in Triad would have 

1033
00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:58,880
been born by the time she's in 
the guard. 

1034
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:00,480
So she's she's already had. 
Her a child. 

1035
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:02,120
Woman's got to work. 
Yeah, woman's got to work. 

1036
00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:08,280
Woman's got to work. 
OK, don't listen. 

1037
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:12,400
Yeah, I think for the category 
it's pretty fun that he got it. 

1038
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:16,200
Maybe it is weird that he got it
considering he was kind of a 

1039
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:19,000
name. 
But he's given being an Eppo 

1040
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:21,960
child doesn't stop you having 
your breakout moment, I suppose.

1041
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:23,480
I know it doesn't. 
Still gotta have a breakout 

1042
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:26,080
moment. 
You do, you do. 

1043
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:30,800
Leeson ultimately has got a 
fucking BAFTA nomination. 

1044
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:33,040
Yeah, he's got a Golden Globe 
nomination. 

1045
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:38,480
These are what, three years ago?
And he's in stuff like, you 

1046
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:44,200
know, Star Wars, Harry Potter, 
but also about time the lead of 

1047
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:47,160
a Richard. 
Beloved Rich Curtis. 

1048
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:51,800
Curtis film that people adore. 
He's played, he's been in 

1049
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:56,320
biopics, he's been in all sorts 
of bits The Revenants, Brooklyn 

1050
00:49:56,560 --> 00:50:01,400
Ex Machina Frank about was a 
crown in a dread True Grit. 

1051
00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:03,320
He's worked with the. 
Really fun stuff. 

1052
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:05,520
Yeah, Innery 2 Coen Brothers, 
like, that's a good career, 

1053
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:07,160
That's a healthy career. 
He's certainly no one else on 

1054
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:08,920
that list can say they've worked
with the Coen brothers in Innery

1055
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:12,680
2, so John Leeson is your pick. 
In his need. 

1056
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:15,880
Rising Star OK. 
And then the only choice left is

1057
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:19,600
my wild card. 
So I think now is a good time to

1058
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:21,520
ring, kind of ring out some of 
the names on here that we 

1059
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:24,920
haven't some honorable mentions.
No, I it's a couple of names 

1060
00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:26,040
missing from the list here, as 
well as. 

1061
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:26,640
Missing for this. 
OK. 

1062
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:28,440
So Andrew Scott not? 
On the list. 

1063
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:30,960
He's not on the list. 
No one's picked Andrew Scott. 

1064
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:34,160
Yeah, I knew there was. 
I don't know if Andrew Scott's 

1065
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:36,240
gonna be my wild card. 
He's in the mix. 

1066
00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:40,040
Some other people we haven't 
mentioned. 

1067
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:45,600
Brian Leeson, Peter Coonan, 
Robert Sheehan, Ruth not a, Ruth

1068
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:49,800
Bradley, Tom Von Lawler, Aiden 
Turner, Amy Huberman, Carrie 

1069
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:52,000
Crowley, Jason Amara. 
What's? 

1070
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:56,040
Carrie Crowley here. 
Carrie Crowley is in the clinic,

1071
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:00,320
yeah. 
Captain Walker, Chris O'Dowd, 

1072
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:03,720
Jason Ramara, Kelly Belton, 
Deirdre Kane. 

1073
00:51:03,720 --> 00:51:05,480
Liam Carney. 
Definitely. 

1074
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:08,480
Liam Carney is close to for me, 
being in that gang of Wilmot, 

1075
00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:10,480
Breenafo burn. 
Really excited when he's and 

1076
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:11,800
stuff. 
But he has been on Fair City a 

1077
00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:13,560
lot recently, not making as many
films. 

1078
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:16,400
Liam Cunningham definitely in 
the mix for a wild card. 

1079
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:20,720
Working Cranich, not to bean, 
not actually live. 

1080
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:22,720
Nelly Conroy. 
Ruth McCabe. 

1081
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:27,840
Tina Kelleher, Victoria Smurfit,
Simon Delaney. 

1082
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:30,920
He's in the mix. 
Owen Row. 

1083
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:33,280
Definitely a character I'm most 
happy to see. 

1084
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:42,720
Joe Ryan, Cometh Hill, Alex 
Murphy, Colin Morgan, Adrian 

1085
00:51:42,720 --> 00:51:44,640
Dunbar, Don Witcherly. 
Don't know. 

1086
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:49,440
Haley Shanti O'Malley, Eileen 
Walsh, Jonathan Rhys Myers, Pete

1087
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:52,680
Claffey Nor Jane Noon. 
Jimmy Nesbitt. 

1088
00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:55,440
The three Boys from Kneecap. 
Oh yeah. 

1089
00:51:56,720 --> 00:52:00,640
Catherine Devlin, Martin McCann,
Lala Roddy, Lola Pedicru. 

1090
00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:05,360
Is loop from the north. 
No, she's from South and shame 

1091
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:07,200
Sahara. 
All right, lots of choices there

1092
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:10,720
for my wild card pick. 
Who do you think I was going to 

1093
00:52:10,720 --> 00:52:12,880
pick for my wild card earlier? 
Megan from Trad. 

1094
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:14,440
Megan from tried. 
Yeah. 

1095
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:17,400
That didn't even occur to me. 
That's very good, I. 

1096
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:18,760
Thought you were keeping that 
one in the back pocket. 

1097
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:20,080
Oh. 
That's a really good idea. 

1098
00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:22,320
I'm not. 
Yeah, but she's. 

1099
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:26,200
She's kind of role I know, but 
she and she seemingly shying off

1100
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:29,480
doing any acting in the future. 
So is that qualifying A? 

1101
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:33,400
Derval Malloy from 4 Mothers. 
We've mentioned her favorite of 

1102
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:34,480
ours. 
Yeah, yeah. 

1103
00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:36,160
Megan is shying away from any 
acting futures. 

1104
00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:37,440
That would be a bad investment, 
I think. 

1105
00:52:38,720 --> 00:52:41,200
Who should I pick to pick? 
Someone who's been nice to me? 

1106
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:42,920
Should I pick someone who'd be 
funny to pick? 

1107
00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:43,600
Or should I pick? 
Someone. 

1108
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:45,680
Oh, I thought you might have had
one in the back pocket now the 

1109
00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:47,400
entire time when you were home. 
Wasn't I? 

1110
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:49,800
I haven't really. 
There's not any prep for this. 

1111
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:50,920
I didn't want it. 
I thought that'd. 

1112
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:53,280
Be unfair. 
Any other big names not on this?

1113
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:55,240
No, I think we've covered them 
all. 

1114
00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:58,760
There's probably one person I'm 
forgetting, but like I'm I'm at 

1115
00:52:58,760 --> 00:52:59,920
peace with that. 
Sure. 

1116
00:53:03,240 --> 00:53:05,360
Brendan Gleeson is a lazy one to
go with for a while. 

1117
00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:06,640
Cars. 
Ah, yeah. 

1118
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:10,280
I've had a few chances to pick 
him already, so if I if I wanted

1119
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:13,560
him might have picked him. 
Interesting. 

1120
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:15,920
Give me something. 
I don't know. 

1121
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:19,640
This is tough. 
I'm gonna base. 

1122
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:22,800
Any children? 
I'm not mad at any of the Irish 

1123
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:24,920
children. 
Not little little boy from the 

1124
00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:25,760
guy. 
Well, he's a man now. 

1125
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:28,000
He's a man now. 
Lovely guy, lovely guy. 

1126
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:34,120
Hello, I'm going to pick someone
based on a combination of always

1127
00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:38,640
happy when he's getting work, 
great guy, upstanding citizen, 

1128
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:43,960
puts in the time, proper 
committed activist but also very

1129
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:46,360
talented actor and a lovely man.
Liam Cunningham is my welcome 

1130
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:48,160
choice. 
Of course, it'd be a shame not 

1131
00:53:48,240 --> 00:53:50,040
to. 
Yeah I love Liam Cunningham, 

1132
00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:54,000
he's great guy. 
He is probably the number one 

1133
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:59,080
loudest pro Palestinian 
celebrity in this country and 

1134
00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:02,480
he's a legend for it. 
And I don't think he's in enough

1135
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:05,240
films anymore. 
Spends a lot of time on stuff 

1136
00:54:05,240 --> 00:54:07,600
like 3 Body Problem. 
He's obviously on Game of 

1137
00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:10,480
Thrones for a lot of years, but 
Jesus, like I'm almost so happy 

1138
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:14,000
when he's in a film. 
And I think people using Neem 

1139
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:17,400
Cunningham well, is is an 
incredible superpower to have in

1140
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:20,480
a movie like the Afonso Quran 
film a little Princess. 

1141
00:54:20,600 --> 00:54:24,480
He's so incredible in that has a
great kind of old fashioned 

1142
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:27,440
movie star thing going on that 
doesn't get deployed all the 

1143
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:28,720
time, but it's very, very 
useful. 

1144
00:54:28,720 --> 00:54:34,080
So all right, recapping our 
picks, we had eight picks each. 

1145
00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:39,720
My choices are Colin Farrell, 
Allison Oliver, Michael 

1146
00:54:39,720 --> 00:54:43,880
Fassbender, Aidan Gillan, Steven
Ray, Killian Murphy, Liam 

1147
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:48,120
Cunningham and Pierce Brosnan. 
One woman and seven men. 

1148
00:54:48,720 --> 00:54:51,360
I would like to apologize for 
that. 

1149
00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:56,240
That was not deliberate and I 
feel really bad about it for 

1150
00:54:56,240 --> 00:54:59,920
your age. 
Sarah Ronan, Liam Neeson, Bri 

1151
00:54:59,920 --> 00:55:01,480
and FO Byrne. 
David Wellmont, Karen Hines, 

1152
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:05,720
Carrie Condon, Ain Hardwick and 
old Leeson. 6 men, two women. 

1153
00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:08,600
All right, we'll put a poll up 
on Instagram letting people we 

1154
00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:10,160
will pick whose team they think 
is better. 

1155
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:12,200
Thank you for tuning in to the 
Irish Actor Draft. 

1156
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:15,000
Please let us know who you would
draft in your Irish Actor draft 

1157
00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:17,640
and if any of the actors we 
referenced in this episode today

1158
00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:20,280
are listening. 
Well, we hope we said nice 

1159
00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:22,600
things about you. 
I think we said nice things. 

1160
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:24,000
I think I. 
Accidentally called Karen Hines 

1161
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:27,640
to know if I I retract that. 
I think the only person we were 

1162
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:30,440
kind of rude about was Paul 
Maskell. 

1163
00:55:31,240 --> 00:55:33,240
He'll survive. 
He's got. 

1164
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:37,200
That's what the money is for. 
All right. 

1165
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:38,760
Thanks for tuning in, everybody.
We're back. 

1166
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:40,160
Regular episode. 
The boy party every Tuesday. 

1167
00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:41,000
Boy. 
Pretty pod.com. 

1168
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:41,680
We'll see you soon. 
Bye. 

1169
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:42,000
Bye.
