My Take

Ardal O'Hanlon is, to me, the most flavorful presence in Irish comedy. He is a Dublin City University graduate, yet he committed fully to the gormless Father Dougal in Father Ted, and that range is exactly what I love. The sharp intelligence behind the dim expression is the giveaway of a real actor. The fact that he also writes scripts and has published two novels confirms my hunch that the funniest people are usually the cleverest. With a Libra's instinct for balance, he delivers gentle humor that never wounds, and I have a soft spot for quietly brilliant comedians like him.

Overview

Ardal O'Hanlon (; born 1965) is an Irish comedian, actor, and author. He played Father Dougal McGuire in Father Ted (1995–1998), George Sunday/Thermoman in My Hero (2000–2005), and DI Jack Mooney in Death in Paradise (2017–2020). He has written two novels The Talk of the Town (1998) and Brouhaha (2022).
