Smith, who played Phil Lynott in Moonlight, will reprise his role as the Thin Lizzy frontman for the show. He spoke about his love for the band in an interview back in 2024 with Hot Press.

"The sensational thing about Thin Lizzy's music is that it doesn't age. To say that [Lynott] was ahead of his time is an injustice. He was a man of all times. I think that's why Irish people miss him so much.

"If it's meant for you, it'll never pass you by. The most important thing is my focus as an actor. I'm not interested in doing a tribute or putting my own spin on it. It's about getting it right, getting it exact, because this man's a legend. He’s a legend as a writer, as a poet, and as a songwriter and singer.

"Our mission is to propel Philip to his rightful place in the pantheon of great Irish writers alongside Brendan Behan, Oscar Wilde and James Joyce. Philip should be spoken about in those terms and if we can contribute even just a little bit towards people having those types of conversations, we'll be doing something good."
