I was delighted to hear that Domhnall Gleeson has landed a role in the new Star Wars movie.
He's a great actor, and seems like a nice guy. And he grew up here in Malahide, a 15 minute walk from where I live.
I saw him on "The Late Late Show" a few days before his casting was announced. He was on with Michael Fassbender and Lenny Abrahamson talking about "Frank". I don't know how he was able to keep from bursting out with the news!
I just hope J.J. is able to do a better job than he has with the Star Trek reboot.
Here is a shot from a reading apparently with lots of the key players (Domhnall included) present:
