Ian O’Reilly

Ian O’Reilly’s career is one wild ride—seriously, the guy knows how to pick ‘em. You might’ve first bumped into him as Padraic in “Moone Boy,” that quirky Irish coming-of-age show where he basically stole every scene with his awkward charm and epic one-liners. He nailed the whole ‘weird but lovable friend’ thing so hard, the show just wouldn’t have worked the same without him. Fast forward a bit and you catch him in “Dating Amber,” a film that’s equal parts hilarious and painfully real. He plays the kind of character you remember long after the credits roll—someone balancing humor with the kind of emotional depth that just sneaks up on you. Not every actor can pull off that “I’m tough but actually pretty vulnerable” vibe, but Ian? He’s got it down. And then there’s “Small Things Like These,” a more recent project that’s got people talking, for good reason. It dives into heavier territory—family secrets, small-town pressures, all that stuff that gets under your skin. Ian fits right in, bringing this raw, honest energy that makes the story hit even harder. You can tell he’s not just coasting on charm; dude actually digs deep. Whether he’s making you laugh till your sides hurt or hitting you right in the feels, Ian O’Reilly’s filmography is kind of a masterclass in not being boring. He keeps things interesting, and if his past work is anything to go by, we’re in for more surprises down the road.
