Former UFC fighter, Cathal Pendred, bags major TV role in the States

Former UFC fighter Cathal Pendred has landed the lead role in Amazon’s small screen adaptation of Aaron Mahnke’s horror anthology podcast, Lore, which proclaims that: “sometimes the truth is more frightening than fiction.”
With an average six million monthly listens, it bares all the hallmarks of a massive TV hit.
The Dubliner, who also has Ray Donovan, Into The Badlands, Peaky Blinders and the soon-to-be-released Cardboard Gangsters on his rapidly expanding acting CV, will play real-life Irish folklore character, Michael Cleary, who becomes convinced that his wife, Bridget, has been replaced by a changeling.
He also features in My Name Is Lenny, the upcoming biopic of 1970s bare knuckle boxer, Lenny McClean, which includes Josh Helman, John Hurt and Michael Gambon among its heavyweight cast.
