Aaron Heffernan

Aaron Heffernan, that Dublin lad with the unmistakable Irish charm, first landed on the scene back in the early 2010s and, honestly, he's been hard to miss since. Born in 1990, he jumped straight into the thick of things with gritty roles—think Love/Hate, the kind of show that grabs you by the collar and drags you into the underbelly of Irish crime. If you’ve ever binged a crime drama with a pint in hand, chances are you’ve seen him scheme or scrap on screen. But, you know, he didn’t just park himself in Ireland. The guy’s got range. Fast forward to 2019 and boom, he’s in War of the Worlds, that apocalyptic sci-fi series where humanity’s running from alien doom. Not everyone can pull off terrified, scruffy survivor and still make you root for him, but Aaron’s got that knack—totally believable, even when the world’s crumbling. And, okay, then there’s Brassic. If you’re into offbeat comedy-drama, this one’s a riot. It’s all wild schemes, dodgy mates, and the kind of humor that only Northern England can deliver. Aaron stands out, bringing this loveable chaos to life. He’s just got this energy—like he could either crack a joke or throw a punch, and you’d buy both. Off-screen, he tied the knot with Mairéad Doyle-Heffernan in 2021. So, whether he’s dodging Martians or just causing mischief with his mates, Aaron Heffernan’s absolutely a name worth remembering.
