Interview by IFTN with Colm Meaney, praise for Colin morgan

How was working with Colin Morgan? Were you familiar with him from ‘Merlin’?
I hadn’t seen ‘Merlin’ and I didn’t know Colin. But he gives an extraordinary performance in this film - a heartbreaking performance. I knew when we were doing it that he was special.
Then when I saw the finished film, Colin blew me away. He is a terrific young actor. Even on a technical level, he is playing out of his own accent. He is from Armagh. Obviously he does ‘Merlin’ then, which needs a British accent and then he comes in and does this Dublin young fella and it is perfect. Stunning performance. I hope he gets the recognition he deserves.
