I've spent a lot of time with Steve, from Northern Ireland, to Sarajevo, to Utah, but probably most memorably, to our annual New Year's pilgrimages to our house in High Falls, where we have what we call in Ireland 'a bit of a piss-up' for three days.

fathers roles
I want to do a lot more roles like I did in 'This Is My Father,'
dealing dialogue drama family imagination internal jesus literally people talking
It's a family drama dealing with these people and about their lives. Talking to Jesus, it's really kind of what Daniel's imagination of what talking to Jesus really would be like, and it's fraught with all of Daniel's limitations. . . . It's literally the internal dialogue of Daniel.
