We all have to start somewhere, and Ireland's newest Oscar nominee Paul Mescal started in a humble but iconic place - Ballyhaunis.
Some of Ireland's greatest acting talent has started in adverts for major Irish brands, including Michael Fassbender in a Guinness ad and Chris O'Dowd in an ad for Meteor broadband to name but a few.
And Mescal is definitely among that list as his first major acting gig was starring in a Denny's advert that has gone down in history.
