FNI Wrap Chat

Joining @paulbutlerlennox and @paulwebsterfilms in the studio this week is one of Ireland's most hard working Actors, Dubliner Jason Barry @jasonbarry_

Jason has the very unique achievement of featuring in one of the most successful Films of all time (Titanic) and the most successful TV series Ireland has produced (Love/Hate).

Today We have a VERY open conversation.
From running for well being, moving to London as a young man and Bruno Fernandes...
To discussing the importantance of supportive mentors, to the special person (for him) that encouraged him as a lad to pursue his dreams and what it was like working with James Cameron and watching Tom Cruise descend from a helicopter. ​ Having received his BA in Drama Studies from Trinity College, Dublin, Jason's first major break into the film industry came when he was cast as Tommy Ryan alongside Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet in James Cameron’s TITANIC. Jason's most recent credits include the role of Patrick opposite Pierce Brosnan in John Moore's feature film I.T, the FX series SONS OF ANARCHY, RTÉ’s LOVE/HATE (in which he played the role of Dano from 2012-2013), 100 DEGREES, a short which he both directed and starred in, and UNITED PASSIONS alongside Gérard Depardieu and Tim Roth, directed by Frédéric Aubertin. Further film credits include VALKYRIE directed by Brian Singer and co-starring Tom Cruise, THE LAST OF THE HIGH KINGS directed by David Keating and co-starring Jared Leto, and CIRCLE OF FRIENDS directed by Pat O’Connor. Theatre credits include THE PLOUGH AND THE STARS directed by Stephen Rea (Gaiety Theatre) and A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM directed by Joe Dowling at the Gate Theatre, Dublin.
