Standby - In Cinemas This Friday (Brian's birthday!)
Brian Gleeson dropped into studio this morning to talk about a new movie he's in called 'Standby' starring Jessica Pare (Don Draper's love interest) from Mad Men.
Twenty-something Alan (Gleeson) is down on his luck. Stood up at the altar and recently fired from his banking job, he finds himself working with his mother as a part-time tourist advisor at Dublin Airport. It’s there he comes face to face with first love Alice (Paré), stuck on standby for a flight home to New York. Their summer romance ended eight years previously with Alan promising to return to the US one day. He never did, and they haven’t spoken since. Seizing his chance, Alan convinces a reluctant Alice to stay one more night in Dublin.
As a former member of the Love/Hate posse, Brian spoke about Hughie (remember him?) from Series 1 as well as the new play featuring his brother & dad called The Walworth Farce. Here it all below. What a gent.
