Irish in Entertainment

For the annual St. Patrick's Day Irish in Entertainment Award, there were two individuals we decided to honor.

Brenden Gleeson, an Irish public school teacher turned actor, is the man behind the colorful new Hogwarts professor in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. As his performance was critically acclaimed and certainly a break-out, we agreed unanimously that his contributions were worth recognition.

And of course it goes without saying that Bono stands out among Irish entertainers. 2005-2006 has been a great year for the star, featuring a Time magazine choice as a co-man of the year and a hugely successful night at the Grammies.
