Tipperary actor Daryl McCormack with Emma Thompson at the Berlin Film Festival
Tipperary actor Daryl McCormack has been nominated for the Rising Star Award at this year's British Academy Film Awards - the BAFTAs.
Nenagh's McCormack, who made his big-screen breakthrough opposite Emma Thompson in last year's comedy-drama Good Luck to You, Leo Grande, is nominated alongside Naomi Ackie (Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody), Sheila Atim (The Woman King), Aimee Lou Wood (Living) and Emma Mackey (Emily).
McCormack's other credits include Peaky Blinders, Bad Sisters and Fair City.
The 29-year-old’s mother is Irish and his father is American, and he grew up in Nenagh, Co Tipperary, before studying at DIT and the Gaiety School of Acting.
McCormack made his West End debut in 2018 as Brendan in The Lieutenant of Inishmore.
The category is the only one at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts film awards which is voted for by the public and previous winners include Lashana Lynch, Bukky Bakray, John Boyega, James McAvoy, Kristen Stewart and Tom Hardy.
