BIO

Born and raised in Dublin, Ireland, Ronan Raftery’s debut was the lead role in The Comedy Of Errors at Shakespeare's Globe. Since then Ronan has gone on to perform in the West End in The Shawshank Redemption, as well as the National Theatre of Great Britain in shows such as Juno And The Paycock and, most recently, as the star of Howard Davies acclaimed production, The Silver Tassie. His television and film career has been equally diverse; starting off with a small role in Marvel's Captain America, and the Irish indie hit Death of a Superhero. The past two years have mostly been taken up with various television projects including a leading role in Chris O'Dowd's Emmy Award-winning “Moone Boy,” the UK cult hit “Fresh Meat” and NBC's crime drama “Crossing Lines.”
