Aidan O’Hare had a good 2020. The Cork-born actor caught the eye with a few stellar TV appearances during the year, including a stand-out cameo in The Young Offenders and a starring role as Detective Frederick Regan in Dead Still.

He’s going to be even more front and centre in 2021, appearing in a thriller called Red Election, a docu-drama mini-series for the History channel called Titans, and there’s talk of another outing as Frederick Regan in the second series of Dead Still on RTÉ.
