Miles O’Brien from Dublin, Star Trek TNG and DS9
His favorite activity in DS9 was leaving the wife at home and going to the pub, fair?
Tom Cruise’s character from Far and Away.
Mad Sweeney in American Gods.
Tom Hagen
All the Northern Irish guys in the Captain Planet Saves Belfast episode.
Who knew that the secret to the peace process is a ecumenical bakery?
Angel from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
He’s from Galway I believe. Nice guy. Ran a detective agency for a while. Dated a high schooler so may have been cancelled.
Seamus Finnigan from Harry Potter. He’s Irish and keeps exploding things. He can make an IED out of the simplest spell.
Oh JK… you daft racist.
I watched some of the old looney toon stuff and grandma that owns tweety bird had half an Irish accent in a few episodes.
And there was a cop in it with a full blown cork accent which surprised the shit outta me.
Sean Devlin in The Saboteur.
Miles. Fucking. Edward. O’Brien
Indiana Jones was here for the rising, does that count
The Saboteur off the Xbox 360 is a pretty good representation of an Irishman in the 40,s in occupied France
Great game too aged superbly
Everyone living in Future-Belfast in Gundam 1.
‘Would you Kindly’ guy from Bioshock has a cult following in gaming circles.
A real life character: T.E. Lawrence (aka Lawrence of Arabia) considered himself an Irishman to such a degree that Michael Collins offered him a high-ranking commission in the Free State’s army.
As regards fictional characters in movies, Sean Miller (Sean Bean) in “Patriot Games”
Rory Devaney (Brad Pitt) in “The Devil’s Own”
But my personal favorite from a TV show, is Bernard Black (Dylan Moran) from “Black Books”
Proinsias Cassidy from the preacher comics.
Not good but memorable (for the worst accent attempt I’ve heard in a while) Shay Patrick Cormac main character of AC Rogue is Irish decent
I don’t know if this counts but Elden Ring seems to have a lot of Irish influences in it!
None, naturally. Modern media alis 100% dominated by wasps and wasp culture. Anglo Saxon racists. It would be off message for them to include Celtic sub-humans as superheroes.
Kyle Rayner a green lantern. Even speaks irish in some issues
