It's a really cool way of having control over your work, because as an actor, you don't always have that.

He told the Sunday World: "Every time I went into traffic I thought people were driving too fast and it was a bit dangerous and I thought, 'I could do something here'." Despite his work in the spotlight, Cal's students aren't fazed by his telly appearances - most of whom don't even watch the show. He explained: "There was one situation where I was with one student who got very confused, because we were doing a reverse around a corner and someone walks past and goes, 'Fair City' and the student said, 'What did they say', and, 'They just said Fair City' and they were like, 'What'. 'It was very funny because they didn't know what was going on. I think the younger generation don't really watch TV and are on Tik Tok or whatever." 3 Roxanna first joined the show in 2018 Credit: RTE
