Damian Kearney has been an actor since 1994, when he was cutting the grass and a telephone call rudely interrupted to tell him he was needed at the One-Act Play Competition at Cork Arts Theatre.
He trained in London at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts and has since worked in theatre throughout Ireland and the UK.
His film credits include The Wind that Shakes the Barley and this year’s IFTA-nominated short Sound and Colour. He’s done a bunch of TV too, for example in RTÉ’s Love/Hate.
His career in crime started when a Garda shouted at him for being on top of a high roof and then another one got a bit short with him for being in a building site at nighttime. His criminal career reached its culmination in RTÉ’s Love/Hate, when he played Martin the corrupt cop. Damian REALLY looks forward to learning how to rob a bank.
