About Moe Dunford
Moe Dunford is from Dungarvan in County Waterford. Alongside Aethelwulf in Vikings, he has built a substantial film career that includes Patrick’s Day, The Dig, Black ’47 and Nightride. He was selected as a European Shooting Star at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2015, reflecting the attention his Irish screen work attracted beyond the Vikings audience.
His leading work is the best place to begin after Aethelwulf. Patrick’s Day centres on Patrick Fitzgerald, while The Dig places him in the role of Ronan Callahan and Nightride follows Budge. These films let viewers follow a character through a complete story rather than waiting for a supporting figure to re-enter a large television ensemble.
