In 2004 he played Sam in the Scotch/Irish extravaganza "On Eagles Wing" at the Odyssey Arena. he has also worked for centre stage, Dubblejoint and An Grianan. On television he has played Pastor Begbie in Give My Head Peace and made appearances in Pulling Moves, Eureka Street and I fought the Law for the BBC.
