I photographed Joe Rooney last week for the front cover of his new DVD, due out before christmas. He is one of Irelands top improvisers. Some know Joe Rooney best as Father Damo, the rebel priest who led Father Dougal astray in 'Father Ted'.
However it has been several years since Joe played that role and he has travelled far and wide since then. The Dublin comedian is rightly proud of Father Damo’s lasting success. Although scripted, Joe brought a lot of character to the role, proving his knack for comic timing in front of a television audience of millions.
Joe is currently starring as Timmy Higgins in the hit show Killinaskully, as well and touring around Ireland, with his own stand up show.
