Title

Cormac - Lead

Content

He is Irish landed gentry and Paige’s former college best friend. Once a charming culinary student, he has transformed into a commanding aristocrat after inheriting his family's vast castle estate, which he must protect from his hostile relatives. He is still in love with Paige but has a tough exterior with a twinkle in his eyes. At the beginning of the story he plays a normal student while studying at college with Paige. We need someone who can play both the Posh Irish aristocrat and the fun loving student. For the posh aristocrat part of his character think Theo James in the Gentleman.

We are looking for Irish actors with (preferably) a soft Irish accent for this.
