Hi, I'm Ciarán O'Riordan, a Sydney-based actor, director, voice artist, and singer with a passion for performing arts. I've had the privilege to work extensively in theatre, often touring with the independent company Come You Spirits, where I've played a range of Shakespearean and contemporary roles. Whether on stage or in voiceover work, I love bringing characters to life and connecting with audiences in unique and meaningful ways. I am also a graduate of the Actors Centre Australia, and alongside my theatre work, I enjoy directing and adapting works, like my pop-up production of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. Outside of the stage, I am a morris dancer and enjoy exploring diverse artistic expressions. I’m always excited to collaborate on creative projects both locally and internationally.
