The stars descended on Dublin's Convention Centre this weekend for Dublin Comic Con, and one of them was full of praise for homegrown star, Andrew Scott. Vincent D'Onofrio, who is famed for his roles in the likes of Full Metal Jacket, Law and Order Criminal Intent and Daredevil on Netflix and Disney+, took part in a Q&A hosted by sister site Geek Ireland, and delighted fans with tales from set. When the questions opened up to the floor, one fan asked the 66-year-old what recent performance had he seen that wowed him, and his answer was seeing Andrew Scott in the Netflix limited series, Ripley.

I was totally moved by it and hated him so much. [laughs] 'I hated him for several reasons, because the character was so unlikable, but his talent is extraordinary, and I hated him for that too. Just, you know, this is a guy that's… he's the real deal. Vincent D'Onofrio at Dublin Comic Con Summer Edition 2025. Pic: GMCD 'I'm kidding, really. I just respect it so much when I know how hard it is to pull off a good performance in something. And so, when I see it from a man or a woman, I'm just so impressed.' Earlier in the panel, D'Onofrio also revealed he had seen the RTÉ series Kin, which starred his pal and Daredevil co-star Charlie Cox. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Geek Ireland (@geekireland) He asked what the Irish audiences thought of Charlie's Irish accent, with the crowd in agreement that it was good, joking that we'd definitely say otherwise if it wasn't good.

As Wednesday premieres on Netflix, what does Jenna Ortega think of Ireland?
Jenna Ortega has opened up about filming Wednesday in Ireland — including her assessment of Guinness, the weather and the Irish accent. The star filmed season two of the Addams Family adaptation for Netflix around the country last year, with her saying that she stayed in Dublin for nearly a year. Now, with the release of the show earlier this week (on Wednesday, of course), Jenna has spoken about filming and staying in the capital, including her thoughts on the weather, our accents, and Guinness. @colbertlateshow Jenna Ortega recalls the craics of filming @wednesdaynetflix Season 2 in Ireland. #Colbert #JennaOrtega #Wednesday ♬ original sound – colbertlateshow 'I love it there,' Jenna told Stephen Colbert. 'I feel like if the weather wasn't so sh*tty, they'd probably get a ton of people coming,' she joked, before talking about her love for the Irish accent. 'I love the Irish accent. I think people are just being jerks when they say they can't understand what [Irish people] are saying. It's very clear,' with Stephen interjecting 'I don't even care what they're saying, it sounds like singing to me when they just talk.' Jenna even got to have the most Irish experience ever, saying 'I remember it was so weird when I went there I didn't even like Guinness or anything like that — I hate beer — and by the end [of filming], I was singing in a pub at two in the morning with a group of people I had never met before.' Jenna Ortega has opened up about filming Wednesday in Ireland — including her assessment of Guinness, the weather and the Irish accent. Pic: Netflix Stephen summed up Guinness pretty well, in fairness; joking to Jenna, it's like a loaf of bread in a cup' — with Jenna agreeing, saying 'that's what my friend says, she says it's like a sandwich in a glass.' The series filmed its second season in Ireland, and was camped up in Ashford studios for most of the shoot, with locations such as Powerscourt Falls in Enniskerry, Deansgrange Cemetery in Dublin and the Wicklow countryside set to play huge parts in the film. Jenna was also spotted a few times around the country during filming, which included her heading to Chappell Roan's gig in the 3Olympia theatre and cuddling up to some puppies in Wicklow. Jenna was spotted around the country during filming last month, which included her petting some puppies in Wicklow and enjoying Chappell Roan's concert in Dublin. Pic: GMCD The Irish Working Sheepdogs shared adorable photos of Jenna and the pups to their Instagram back in October, captioning the pics 'Look who popped in to say hi and see the dogs at work @jennaortega !!!' 'We were so happy to have the wonderful Jenna and friends come and see the demonstration during their stay here in Ireland.' Wednesday season two is now available on Netflix.

Jerry Fish: ‘I'm a London-born Dub but I discovered most of my DNA is from exactly where I now live'
How agreeable are you? It depends on what you want from me. I'm friendly, easy going, reasonable, but I've never been a pushover. What's your middle name and what do you think of it? My middle name is Joseph, and it was my grandmother's name, Josie, and my grandfather's as well as my father's and my brother's first name. It's a family name. I think it's strong and friendly. Where is your favourite place in Ireland? I just love Ireland as a country, especially when the sun is shining. I tell people that I live where the last wolf in Ireland was killed, on Mount Leinster, where we've been for 20 years. It's quite strange because I did the DNA thing, and I discovered that most of my DNA is from exactly where I live. I'm obviously here for a reason. That said, I'm a Dub, and my family and ancestors are all inhabitants of Raytown [better known as Ringsend], the mouth of the river Liffey in Dublin, so my heart is at Poolbeg lighthouse in Dublin Bay. Describe yourself in three words. An emotional fish. READ MORE When did you last get angry? I was very angry when I was the singer in An Emotional Fish in the 1990s. I was disappointed to find that as a working-class person I was isolated in the music industry, and that most of the industry comprised middle-class people whom I didn't really understand at the time. I wanted to be Iggy Pop. I still look to Iggy as a role model, but he is cool, not angry. Luckily, I've veered more towards the former than the latter. What have you lost that you would like to have back? I've never had an inkling to look back, but I've lost a lot of dear friends – I lost my best friend when he was 20. I've realised recently that not only have I spent a lot of my life dealing with grief, but also with the realisation that grief comes with a gift, which is the knowledge that we're all visitors to this world, that we're just passing through. What's your strongest childhood memory? I grew up in south London, an Irish immigrant. We were the melting-pot generation, so my parents were greeted by the infamous 'No blacks, no dogs, no Irish' signs. Yeah, welcome to London. It was a diverse, tough childhood; most of my peers were from the Caribbean or were cockneys. The older I get, however, the more I reflect on my childhood in London. I'm grateful for it because I think the 1960s and 70s, in particular, were when Britain changed. It became a new Britain, if you like, a new people, and I'm still quite proud to have been part of that London community. [ 'No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs': Irish Times readers recall seeing notorious signs in Britain Opens in new window ] Where do you come in your family's birth order, and has this defined you ? I'm the eldest of six. I left home at 17, returned to the UK and started travelling. The eldest has responsibilities; I had to help out a lot, and that certainly taught me things, but I also had the fortune of being able to leave first, to escape chaos. What do you expect to happen when you die? No idea, but you are what you bring to the party, not what you take from it. If you spend your life being kind and generous, you leave that behind, and that rolls forward. If you're mean, you put that on the Earth. When were you happiest? I spent much of my misspent youth playing in garage rock bands and living as a beach bum in the Mediterranean, but I became happiest of all when I became a father. Even though I had a tremendously liberating youth that I can recall great moments, from being in An Emotional Fish, touring the world, even before that, sleeping on beaches and not having any worries or cares. Fatherhood filled a gap, something I realised I was missing. Which actor would play you in a biopic about your life? I recently watched the Robbie Williams biopic, Better Man, where he was portrayed by a chimpanzee. In my biopic, which would be directed by the late David Lynch or Wes Anderson, I could be played by a fish. Which fish? I think carp have great faces. [ Better Man review: Robbie Williams as a monkey is a surprising look at the ego-driven's star's life Opens in new window ] What's your biggest career/personal regret? I think everything happens for a reason, and we learn from our mistakes and failures. I've been through many ups and downs, but they all led to a better place in some way. I'm very happy in the here and now, and for me, that's where it works. Have you any psychological quirks? I'm an artist who ran away with the circus, so I am a psychological quirk. It's a whole mess, a circus, and I am its monkey. In conversation with Tony Clayton-Lea Jerry Fish brings his Electric Sideshow and Fish Town to Electric Picnic, August 29th-31st,
