Brendan Coyle A Photo Tribute...now an emmy nominated actor

This is a fan video I created to show the many roles Brendan Coyle has portrayed over the years. I've only recently discovered them because a lot of his work isn't available here in the States, and I hadn't really heard of him before Downton Abbey. It was the way he played Mr. Bates that made me want to see what else he'd done in the past. I started looking on the internet and it truly amazes me what one can find on the net if you take the time to look. This vid represents what I could find from his television & film career, basically in chronological order. I think I've got them right but if anyone knows differently, please let me know. I originally had this vid cut to other music but decided to use the music "A Breath of Fresh Air" by the Ray Kelley Band since it's more Youtube friendly - the only thing is that I had to repeat the music three times to fit all the pics I had. All photos used are property of their respective owners. No copyright infringement intended -- this is only a fan video made by me so that others can see what a remarkably talented actor he is...

My favorite characters he's played are Kaz Sweeney in True Dare Kiss followed by Duncan Miller in Offside. I also liked him as Ralph Allan in Ghost Squad and Derek Jowell in Blue Murder because I thought both of those characters had interesting story arcs -- they kept me guessing and he played them so well. Of course all of the characters taken from books (Nicholas Higgins, Robert Timmins, Manuel Mendoza) he's done equally well. There's just something about him that makes one want to keep watching and not only on tv. He's been in over twenty plays and I've been able to get a hold of theatre reviews from most of them (with the majority of the reviews overwhelmingly positive). It would be really interesting to see him act live on stage.

I hope people enjoy watching this video as much as I enjoyed making it -- I can't help but smile every time I see it. I'm looking forward to Season 2 of Downton Abbey coming to the States next January and I can't wait to see what he does in the future!
