Tyrnan O'Driscoll
Tyrnan has appeared in commercials for Bell Media, and played Jareth in Anton Josef's Break Any Spell. A gifted stage actor, he was singled out by Theatre Ontario adjudicators for his ability to make Shakespeare "accessible to audiences" in his dual peformances of Iago and Romeo in Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet).
