Good article on Irish actor Don Wycherley in yesterday's Irish daily mail newspaper. He outlines how difficult it is for established actors to find film roles in this country. He needs to fall back on his teaching career and doing plays to get by. He may be a teacher but is not too smart! He complained that the TV series Vikings (which gets made in Ireland) is not hiring Irish actors. Instead they are hiring Scandinavian actors! Let's suss out his logic! They are making a TV show about Vikings but are not hiring Cork actors like Wycherley to play these roles. Instead they are hiring people from where these Vikings come from! I can't see any problem there?
