Irish Actors You Should Know: Jack Reynor

Seeing as it is St. Patrick’s Day, I thought I’d share the acting talents of a young Irishman who has been on my radar for the past year or so named Jack Reynor. Born in the US, Jack moved back to his mother’s native Ireland as a toddler. He's been getting TV and film work since 2010 and has had occasion to traverse the pond several times during his thus far impressive career.

I first discovered him in 2016’s Sing Street. Reynor plays Brendan, the unmotivated stoner brother of the main character, Conor (Ferida Walsh-Peelo). Brendan teaches his brother about music, girls and how to cope with the pressures of their Dublin-based, dysfunctional family. Jack’s performance was a real highlight in this outstanding film, earning him a Best Supporting Actor IFTA (Irish Film & Television Award) in the process.
