Quotes

  • I was the bare arse on the bonnet of Fr Ted's car after he had been on the caravan holiday with Dougal and Fr Jack. People at airports still come up to me saying, 'You're the naked guy from Father Ted'. [referring to playing Mr. Gleason in 1996 Father Ted episode 'Hell'.]
  • I never realised how much like Doyle I looked until the company showed me some early photographs of him. I must say I was quite stunned myself, and several people who knew him were startled by the resemblance. [referring to playing the young Jack Doyle. Source: Irish Independent, 17th March 1980]
