AND WHO IS DAMIAN O'HARE?

Damian O'Hare was born on 13 August 1977 in Belfast. Throughout his childhood, he participated in various stage productions and radio plays, and could also be seen in the music video "Belfast Child" of Scottish 80s cult band "Simple Minds".

At the age of 18, Damian moved to London and attended LAMDA (The London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art). He has since appeared in various stage-productions, among
them Peter Gill's production of "Small Change" and the West End production of "The Countess", in which he portrayed pre-Raphaelite painter John Everett Millais. His most recent theatre work was "The Revenger's Tragedy" at the Royal Exchange in Manchester.

Damian also starred as "Finn" in "The Magic Toyshop". To quote The Observer:
"Red-haired, lithe Damian O'Hare looks the part and plays him with a proper understanding of the gaiety that is the flipside of despair."

This should answer the question "and what does he look like…?"

Damian has made many guest appearances on popular TV shows; "Foyle's War", "Red Cap", "The Bill", "Doctors" and "Casualty" to name but a few. Probably his finest TV work so far was in the role of Sean Weir in the drama series "Ultimate Force".

He became known to a wider audience thanks to his excellent portrayal of the slightly buffoonish Lt. Gillette in "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl".

He has joined the cast of hospital drama series "The Royal" as a regular, portraying the character "Dr. Nick Burnett". If you want to see how he wields the stethoscope, tune in on ITV1; the second half of season 7 will air soon.

Other upcoming work includes "Taking the Flak", a mockumentary produced for BBC2 about a team of journalists reporting from a war in Africa. The part Damian's going to play is not known yet.
