Point of View with actor Daragh O Malley (Part One)
On this week's episode of Point of View with me Anne O Neill, I talk to Daragh O Malley the Irish actor, director, and producer. O'Malley is perhaps best known for his portrayal of Patrick Harper in the series Sharpe (1993–2009) starring with Sean Bean although O'Malley has appeared in a number of other films, major television shows, and stage productions throughout his career in the UK and in the US.My own favourite being his appearance in the cult classic Withnail and I starring Richard E Grant and Paul McGann, where Daragh plays the Irishman in the pub who utters "Perfumed Ponce" and intimidates Withnail and Marwood ,a moment now immortalised in gifs and on youtube , Daragh is a man of many stories , he is the son of Donagh O Malley. the Irish T.D who brought in free education, a game changer for this nation and his mother was the dark haired beauty from Dingle who inspired Patrick Kavanagh to write Raglan Road among other poems, in Part one of this chat we talk about his parents and their influence on Irish life and culture
Point Of View
You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view . . . until you climb into his skin and walk around in it, join me Anne O Neill in a series of interviews with writers and thinkers exploring the influences and events that has shaped their point of view.
