Very exciting news Molonians! Another new tv role for our fave actor!

According to his Spotlight Acting CV, Damien will appear as the character Stephen in 'Say Nothing' -  an FX original limited series.

The series will comprise 9 episodes and premiere Thursday 14 November exclusively on Disney+ in the U.K and on Hulu in the U.S.

No details about Damien’s role have been revealed yet, but since the main casting was announced earlier this year, we can probably expect him in a guest appearance. Either way, it's exciting to see him involved in this project!

A Disney press release reveals more details on the series:

The series is based on the best-selling book by Patrick Radden Keefe, which recently ranked #19 on the New York Times’ 100 Best Books of the 21stCentury.

“Say Nothing” is a gripping story of murder and memory in Northern Ireland during The Troubles.

Spanning four decades, the series opens with the shocking disappearance of Jean McConville, a single mother of ten who was abducted from her home in 1972 and never seen alive again.

Telling the story of various Irish Republican Army (IRA) members, “Say Nothing” explores the extremes some people will go to in the name of their beliefs, the way a deeply divided society can suddenly tip over into armed conflict, the long shadow of radical violence for all affected, and the emotional and psychological costs of a code of silence.

The series stars Lola Petticrew as Dolours Price and Hazel Doupe as Marian Price, young women who became potent symbols of radical politics. Anthony Boyle stars as Brendan Hughes, a charismatic but conflicted military strategist, and Josh Finan as Gerry Adams, a leading political operator who would go on to negotiate peace and has always denied having any involvement with the IRA. Maxine Peake stars as older Dolours Price.

“Say Nothing” is executive produced by Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson of Color Force, creator Joshua Zetumer, Patrick Radden Keefe, Edward McDonnell, Monica Levinson and Northern Ireland native Michael Lennox. The series is produced by FX Productions.

Congrats to Damien on another great project!
