About me

For over a decade, Kieran indulged his love of acting exclusively in his native Ireland. He honed his skills on stage with the accomplished touring company, St. Patrick’s Players. Their annual tour took them to various venues throughout the south of Ireland, performing famous Irish plays such as The Year of the Hiker (2008), The Master (2010) and The Plough and the Stars (2013).
He attended the John Huston School of Film and Digital Media at NUI Galway and graduated with an MA in Screenwriting in 2014. In 2016, he travelled to Chicago in order to attend the world-renowned improvisational comedy institution, Second City. After this sojourn, he began to attend classes regularly at Nigel Mercier’s Limerick School of Acting.
As well as returning to his stage roots, Kieran also branched out into film work and has appeared in numerous student and short films, most notably The Legend of Jim Bond (2018), an Irish twist on the famous 007 franchise.
Having recently decided that he needed to pursue his passion in life, Kieran left his job as a primary school teacher and moved to London in October 2018 to pursue his acting ambitions. He continues to hone his craft by attending regular classes at AMAW London. He recently made his London debut stage performance in the very well-received Killing Donald as part of the London One Act Festival in the Stockwell Playhouse.
He is also focusing on his writing under the tutelage of London-based Irish writer, performer and co-founder of the London Writer’s Elective, Conor Montague, and hopes to have his first play completed soon.
