ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Nick and Angela welcome another Irish guest to Dish HQ.
Chris O'Dowd is an award-winning actor, writer and director. He was born in Boyle, County Roscommon, and studied politics at University College Dublin, later enrolling at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art.
Chris played Roy Trenneman in The IT Crowd on Channel 4, which helped him secure his Hollywood debut in Bridesmaids in 2011. He created and starred in Moone Boy in 2012, a semi-autobiographical, Emmy-winning series set in his hometown. Chris wrote, directed and acted in his new show Small Town, Big Story, a Sky original featuring Christina Hendricks Paddy Considine.
Nick pours Chris a whisky and the pair snack on Keogh's crisps while Angela prepares sticky pulled pork and a shredded quick pickled salad. The experts at Waitrose pair this meal with a Calmel & Joseph organic pinot noir.
Chris O’Dowd is very charming company and tickles Nick and Angela with tales of his pet tortoise. He recalls what life was like when the family lived in LA and shares the inspiration for his new show Small Town, Big Story.
This episode talks about kids getting involved in cooking; while it's always a win, younger children should be supervised by an adult when using kitchen equipment, including the air fryers mentioned.
