Engaged to Dawn O'Porter [December 30, ]. As an Irishman, he says he felt an unexpected kinship with Aboriginals while making The Sapphires In a interview on the NPR interview program "Fresh Air with Terry Gross," O'Dowd told Gross that before he was an actor he worked at a call center, and one of his jobs was making solicitation calls for a well known wildlife charity.

He said that the endangered animals that he was supposed to tell potential donors about--like New Guinean bats or newts from New Zealand--were unappealing to people, so he started making up fake endangered animals that he thought would be more attractive to them. One was a "tiger swan," which he described as "essentially a swan with the markings of a Bengal"; one was "some kind of flying dolphin".

Met his wife Dawn at her 30th birthday party in Los Angeles in When he and Dawn Porter married, instead of taking his second name she simply attached an "O" to her name O'Porter. It just never came up. I don't think RTE even have a comedy department. I think it's why the character as an Irish guy works quite well, because we're all part of the same team.

When I say I hate nostalgia, I hate things set in the recent past where everything is shiny and new. All of this talk of recession offends me. I am delighted that bankers have less money. Being at the genesis of the creative process is definitely something I want to keep doing.

It's just such a great buzz. For some reason, I find that in the course of my career I've worked with more women than most men have. Going out with other actors is never good; actresses are neurotic, and actors are horrendous egotists.

When I was about 13 I realised girls weren't going to kiss me because I was a gigantic, weird looking creature from the depths. I was like 6 ft. No one really dreams of being a comic actor, do they? Now I realise how stupid that is - and it's because comic acting isn't taken seriously enough.

It's a discipline. You know instantly - either you're funny and getting the laughs, or you're not. Well, when you're the youngest of five, parents kind of lose interest more and more through the children. I think my eldest brother was under loads of pressure to do something amazing with his life, but by the time I came around they were like, 'Well, let's hope he doesn't kill a guy.

I've gone up for loads of jobs in the past that I knew were going to be terrible, and I've done my best, and I still haven't got them. So I think I've been lucky in who's decided I'd be worthy of their time. I've always been conscious of the fact that there aren't enough Irish voices on British television compared to the amount of Irish people who live there.

I'm never overawed by a situation and I think that's because I've always looked several years older than I am. So because people were treating me like I was 40 when I was 29, I've always felt in control of a situation. Sean Murphy. Show all 18 episodes. Show all 39 episodes. Vincent Brother Geraghty.
