Patrick Bergin is happy to be back in hometown drama

After being to Hollywood and back, Patrick Bergin is happy to be playing a detective in his hometown for the current series of Red Rock, writes Esther McCarthy.

You get the feeling that if Patrick Bergin weren’t an actor, he could have considered a career in stand-up comedy.

Regaling the media on the set of Red Rock with stories from his stellar career and life, he is playing for laughs and there is a sense of offbeat fun to him that is refreshing.
