Pádraig was born in the bustling metropolis of Dublin, a city that was witnessing a resurgence in its vibrant theatre scene during the late 1980s and early 1990s. This burgeoning cultural landscape provided him with an ideal platform to hone his craft, and he quickly established himself as a talented young actor. His early success in Dublin's theatre scene coincided with a renaissance in Irish film, which saw him take on leading roles in notable films such as "The Courier", where he shared the screen with esteemed actor Gabriel Byrne, and "Taffin", a star vehicle for the renowned Pearse Brosnan.
As he entered his early twenties, Pádraig made the bold decision to relocate to London, where he enrolled at The Drama Centre to further his acting education. The city's vibrant cultural landscape and boundless opportunities to create independent theatre and film inspired him to make the move, and he has been based there ever since. Throughout his career, he has continued to work in both mediums, with recent productions including the highly acclaimed "A View From The Bridge", which was broadcast to theatres around the world via NT Live and featured the talented Mark Strong. Additionally, he has been involved in a wide range of independent feature films and shorts, collaborating with a new generation of filmmakers and cementing his status as a respected and versatile actor.
