About

Hi, I’m Jim Roche, an Irish actor based in Dublin with a passion for bringing stories to life both on stage and screen. I have performed in a variety of roles, from classical theatre like Hamlet and Macbeth to contemporary film and television projects, including appearances in Ridley Scott’s “The Last Duel” and the hit series “Normal People.” I also enjoy creating and directing my own works, such as my adaptation of James Joyce’s ‘Counterparts’.

With years of experience in acting across theatre, film, and television, I love exploring different characters and genres, and I’m dedicated to honing my craft. Whether performing in front of a live audience or a camera, I bring professionalism and authenticity to every role and project I undertake.
