He will talk to the BMF about his career to date in film and television, both as an actor and director/producer.

He said: “I am delighted to be part of the Belfast Media Festival in these difficult times.

“With a workforce that is mainly freelance and productions and cinemas having to close, it has often looked bleak for our industry.

“However, there is innovation and resilience, and I want to celebrate the achievements of the film and television industry here in Northern Ireland.”

The event is free.
