A question of taste - Des Keogh

Des Keogh, 81, was born in Birr, Co Offaly, and worked for Guinness for three years before becoming a fulltime actor and presenter in 1963. He’s currently touring in the The Quiet Land by Malachy McKenna, which will run at Cork Arts Theatre from Tuesday, April 11 to Thursday 13.

Best recent book you’ve read: Night School by Lee Child. Aficionados will know that this is the most recent Jack Reacher thriller. As far as I’m concerned, Reacher can do no wrong. He is the great tough-guy hero who can solve all wrongs.

Best recent film: La La Land. This is the best partly because it’s the only recent film I have seen. However, I did enjoy it greatly. It reminded me of the great Hollywood musicals I used to enjoy so much. Pity about the big mix-up (mess-up!) on Oscar night.
