WATCH: Full Metal Jacket star full of praise for one particular Andrew Scott performance
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. The Kingpin star was a guest at Dublin Comic Con Summer Edition 2025, and was joined by the likes of Stranger Things star Jamie Campbell Bower, Wayne's World's Tia Carrere, Aliens star Mark Rolston, Sons of Anarchy's Theo Rossi, Star Trek's John De Lancie, Marvel star Ross Marquand, Power Rangers Alyson Sullivan and Tracy Lynn Cruz, Hitman stars David Bateson and Jane Perry, and voice actress Karen Strassman.

Top TV series to watch on Disney+ for £1.99, including Grey's Anatomy and Netflix rival
Disney+ has brought back its cheapest streaming deal for 2022, making it the cheapest major streaming site - and there's plenty of series to watch on the platform The weekend is upon us and for those eager to unwind on the settee with a binge-worthy series, there's plenty to choose from. Disney+ is grabbing headlines with the return of one of its most cost-effective deals, as prices plummet to £1.99. The offer scraps the usual £4.99 per month cost of the Standard with Ads plan for £1.99 a month. This makes it the cheapest major streaming site, beating Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Apple TV+ tariffs. Customers will need to sign up for the subscription to secure the £1.99 price, but there's no obligatory contract and users can cancel after each 30-day period. The deal is up for grabs until 30 June, and it lasts for four months before reverting to the previous £4.99 rate, as The Mirror reports. With a jam-packed telly schedule for the summer, including the live-action Snow White and Marvel's Ironheart, there's loads to view. As a team brimming with series enthusiasts, we've got a few recommendations from the new Welcome to Wrexham season, reality dramas The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, or decade classics like Grey's Anatomy. Narin's top picks - Daredevil: Born Again and Welcome to Wrexham Daredevil: Born Again might be the best telly series I've watched this year so far. Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio reprise their roles as Daredevil and Kingpin as the two old foes clash once again, with both men attempting to balance their public personas and secret lives deeply entwined with New York's crime-infested underworld. The outcome is a programme that takes the best of the already-excellent Netflix series (including some fan favourite comebacks) and surprisingly makes it even darker and more brutal - what would Walt say? As a self-confessed comic book enthusiast, I admit that Marvel fatigue has been a reality for some time now, with much of their content proving to be a miss rather than a hit for me. Daredevil: Born Again (and indeed also Thunderbolts which will be arriving on the streaming giant soon) are a welcome and much-needed return to quality and definitely a must-watch. Welcome to Wrexham season four is currently streaming on Disney+ and this £1.99 deal lets you watch the exciting finale of the celebrity-led club's season week by week. In the brief four years since Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney purchased Wrexham AFC for £2 million, the club's fortunes have dramatically changed, transforming it into a £150m+ powerhouse in football. This programme provides an excellent behind-the-scenes glimpse at that rise, led by both men along with a cast of supporting characters, including the team's foul-mouthed yet brilliant manager Phil Parkinson and Executive Director Humphrey Ker. Don't let the football sidetrack you, though - at its heart, this is as much a show about the community and people who live around Wrexham as the on-pitch antics and all the better for it. If you prefer your reality TV to be uplifting rather than fraught with tension, then this is your next ideal binge watch. Phoebe's top pick - Grey's Anatomy My mum has always sworn by Grey's Anatomy, having watched it religiously since its debut in the mid-2000s. So, when it became available on Disney+, I decided to give it a try and see what all the fuss was about. I registered and immediately started binge-watching the captivating series. I can joyfully declare that Grey's Anatomy has secured a spot in my all-time favourite TV shows. It's brimming with emotion and passion, and features a host of characters I absolutely love. The show's creator, Shonda Rhimes, has me chuckling one moment and sobbing uncontrollably the next. With 21 series and over 400 episodes to be watched, it's guaranteed to keep households amused for months. Harriet's top pick - The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives If you're a fan of drama, gossip, affairs and the social media frenzy, then I'd highly recommend The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. The second series of this reality show has recently landed on Disney+ following a gripping first series - and I've never been more engrossed in a programme. I'd say you need to be a fan of shows like Keeping Up with Kardashians and The Real Housewives to appreciate this one. The series trails a group of MumTok influencers and their Mormon community as they manoeuvre through growing social presence and scandals. Jake's top pick - Andor Series 2 I've been a massive Star Wars enthusiast since my childhood, but had nearly abandoned the franchise after some of its recent offerings left me suffering from Jedi fatigue. That was until the new series of Andor reeled me back in completely. Despite not being overly impressed by the first series, I found myself utterly captivated by the eponymous rebel spy's latest mission, so much so that I binged the entire thing over a single weekend. It may not feature any lightsabers or Jedi, but what it does provide firmly establishes its place as one of the finest Star Wars titles there is and without question, the best episodic instalment yet. There simply aren't enough superlatives to describe the series; it's exquisitely filmed, each performance is Emmy-worthy and the high-stakes of Andor's mission result in incredibly gripping viewing – particularly in the latter half of the series. Rewatching Rogue One – which takes place immediately after the Andor finale – entirely alters the viewer's perspective on the story, enhancing an already fantastic film. Jada's top pick - Abbotts Elementary Quinta Brunson has been on my radar since her 'he got money' videos went viral during my teenage years. I've followed her career through the Buzzfeed era and when I discovered that her award-winning show would be available to stream on Disney+ I knew it was time to subscribe. Abbott Elementary centres around a public school in Philadelphia where the odds are stacked against everyone. It's consistently hilarious and I'd love to be a fly on the wall in their writer's room. Quinta portrays Janine Teagues, a bubbly second-grade teacher brimming with enthusiasm to make a positive impact. There's a romantic tension brewing between Janine and Gregory, portrayed by Everybody Hates Chris star Tyler James Williams, that had me cheering for them throughout as they clumsily navigate their feelings. It's undoubtedly the best mockumentary sitcom I've ever seen, my only complaint is that episodes are released later in the UK than the US - so I made sure to catch up with the season finale when I visited the states earlier this year. Something Disney+ doesn't offer and Eve's favourite 1883 is, without question, one of the finest TV series I have watched to date. I'm quite eclectic when it comes to the shows I watch. I'm a big fan of Gilmore Girls and Ginny and Georgia (both on Netflix) as well as the thrilling, edge-of-your-seat, relatively brutal mob-family spectacle Mobland (Amazon Prime), Ted Lesso (Apple TV), The Last of Us (NOW) and New Girl (Disney+). Each of which bring very different things to the table. But when 1883 was recommended to me, aside from knowing the bare bones of its description, I had no idea what to expect. A prequel to the highly acclaimed Yellowstone (a show still on my watch-list), 1883 is an American Western drama miniseries which traces the origin story of the Dutton family to the Yellowstone ranch. The show follows the five Dutton family members in post-Civil War America as they escape poverty in Texas and embark on a long, gruelling journey through the Great Plains in search of a better future in Montana. According to IMDB, the show's synopsis is: "The post-Civil War generation of the Dutton family travels to Texas, and joins a wagon train undertaking the arduous journey west to Oregon, before settling in Montana to establish what would eventually become the Yellowstone Ranch." Delving into the lives of ranchhands and cowboys, as well as the history, struggles, and conflicts faced by Native Americans during this era, it's an action-packed and emotionally charged story that had me captivated. This 10-part series boasts an impressive cast, including notable figures from film and country music such as Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Sam Elliott, with guest appearances by Billy Bob Thornton and Tom Hanks. Its sequel, 1923, features Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford, and is also an exceptional watch on Paramount+.
