• Memphis - a shining star in the making!

  Wed 06 Nov 2024

  We are absolutely delighted for our P7 pupil Memphis who has been busy in his other day job as a budding actor!

   

  Memphis is starring in the new SuperValu ad (filmed in the summer) which is airing at the moment. 

   

  The last short movie he worked on, Calamity Wayne, will be premiering in the Odyssey at the end of December or beginning of January. What an experience on the red carpet that will be!!!!

   

  He is also in the new Santa experience at the Planetarium this Christmas. He filmed it in the summer and takes on the role of Santa’s helper elf lol!  The tickets are out for it now!

   

  Finally next month Memphis will begin filming in Dublin for a new Virgin Media film. He has been cast as Samuel, a young boy moving house with his family and honing a great Irish accent!
