The shape I'm in: Patrick Bergin, actor

Patrick Bergin plays the part of Jim Tierney on TV3’s Red Rock.

TRUE to his Irish heritage, Patrick Bergin has a gift for self-deprecation. When I mention that he’s a man of many talents — actor, musician and champion of the arts — he’s quick to quip: “[I’ve] hundreds of them... And I’ve got a few talons as well.”

The Carlow native — his family moved to Dublin when he was aged three — also has a gift for telling a good yarn.
