Premier Artists

Premier Artists Acting agency based in Belfast NI Premier Artists is a leading UK and Ireland acting agency which is based in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

It was established in 2012 by Ed McCann, who had previously worked for many years within the industry as an actor, and represents a select client base of actors and actresses. Having recognised the amount of talent which existed in Northern Ireland, and the lack of representation available, he chose to establish Premier Artists. As a professional and dynamic agency, we provide top class artists fo

r a range of projects in film, television, theatre, and more. Recent high-profile castings include Game of Thrones, The Fall, Red Rock, and The Frankenstein Chronicles amongst many others.

It is with immense sadness that we announce the passing of Pat Mooney.

Anyone who spent even a few moments in Pat’s company very quickly learned what an absolute gentleman he was and he will be hugely missed.

Pat joined us back in 2013 and went on to have notable performances in Red Rock, Game of Thrones, and The Frankenstein Chronicles. Feature films included The Man Who Invented Christmas and Lost City of Z. He most recently shot on two short films, Tracey and Eterne. One of our favourite projects with Pat was a renowned, warm-hearted LIDL Christmas ad which ran for a number of years. Pat laughingly recalled how the ad led to him being recognised on a Dublin street.

Aside from his acting career, Pat also had a very successful teaching career before he retired. He taught English in the Abbey Grammar School, Newry, from 1968-2009, becoming Head of English in 1990. He was the driving force which introduced Drama to Abbey Grammar School as a discrete subject. Pat was also co-founder and partner of The Abbey Press, a professional poetry publishing company in the Abbey Grammar School.

Pat loved to travel (having visited the USA, Canada, most of Europe, Australia, South America, Asia and the Middle East) and had an apartment in the South of France which he visited frequently. He embraced the era of self-tapes and, no matter where he was in the globe, if he got a self-tape request (which he always seemed to get multiples of when he was away!), he made it happen, with those who happened to be around him often jumping to help. That was the mark of Pat.

Our thoughts are very much with his sister Eileen, wider family circle, and friends.
