This week, star of the forthcoming movie Calm with Horses, Niamh Algar, joined Jarlath to discuss her incredible journey from architectural design to the big screen.

Niamh explains how a fascination with story-telling opened her up to the world of film from an early age (11:00), how telling a white lie to RTÉ gave her a big break with the broadcaster (17:00) and why she is not scared of the modern challenges which face the film industry (41:00).

From her incredible stories of working alongside Guy Ritchie (37:00) and Stephen Graham (32:00), while also revealing her anxiety over getting the call to say that she'd been offered a part in a new Ridley Scott series (56:00) and what life is like working in a post-Weinstein film industry (1:00:00) and much more, this is a truly enlightening conversation with one of Ireland's fastest rising acting talents.

To hear Niamh's thoughts on the phenomenon of 'it', drama school's teaching formulae, toxic sets, her career ambitions and Jarlath's famous Lightning Round and more, become a patron of An Irishman Abroad for just the price of a pint on www.patreon.com/irishmanabroad.
