Former star of TV3 show Red Rock will be joining the cast of popular soap Eastenders.
Sean, who played the controversial policeman Brian McGonigle on the hit show, will be following former co-star Denise McCormack in the UK soap, as he takes on the role of Ray Kelly, ex-husband of Mel Owen and brother of Denise’s character Ciara.
The Dubliner will take on the new role later on this summer, and says “it doesn’t get much better.”
The IFTA nominated actor said: “I remember watching the very first episode of ‘EastEnders’ back in 1985, little did I think I would be roaming the streets of Walford and hanging out at The Queen Vic all these years later.
“I’m so happy to join such an incredibly hard-working and talented team and I’m very much looking forward to playing out the drama that inevitably ensues on any given day in Albert Square.”
“My character, Ray Kelly is not one to tread lightly and his arrival to the Square will cause shock waves for many of the residents… it doesn’t get much better than that.”
We can’t wait to see Sean on screens this summer!
