Irish actor’s best role is fatherhood

JOHNNY O’Callaghan is an Irish actor in Los Angeles.

He’s 40, bisexual and single. In 2006, he adopted a three-year-old boy, who spoke no English, from Uganda, in a complicated saga that he has adapted into a one-man show. It wowed theatre audiences in LA, and opens Thursday for a 25-day run at Edinburgh’s Fringe festival. It is set to become a film, with Michael Fassbender or Colin Farrell among the names touted to play him.

Life seems pleasant in the Hollywood Hills, where O’Callaghan lives with Odin, 10 minutes from the city. Deer amble about. Humming birds riff.
