John received a BAFTA nomination for his haunting and memorable performance in the 1983 Irish film Cal. Since then, he has built on his early success appearing in many Irish films including In The Name Of The Father where he gave a spellbinding performance as Paul Hill.
2005 saw him give an understated, pitch- perfect performance alongside
Samantha Morton and Peter O’Toole in an adaptation of the timeless classic, Lassie.
His undeniable versatility was evident again as he hit the small screen in Channel 4’s recent ratings winning drama MO. In recent years John has turned his creative talent to writing. Torn Water his highly regarded debut novel is soon to be followed by a second novel, the eagerly awaited, Falling Out Of Heaven. John will read an excerpt from it and will spend some time on examining the relationship between writing and acting, two professions which are inextricably linked.
In Torn Water, one character tells another “ If you have knowledge of language, you have a shot at the truth ”. The 10th Belfast Film Festival looks forward to sharing John’s knowledge of the language of film and the truth behind acting.
