Irish actors Stephen Rea, Andrew Scott, Brendan O’Carroll and television presenters Dara O’Briain and Graham Norton are amongst this year’s BAFTA TV award nominees.

Belfast-born Rea (The Crying Game) has been nominated in the Best Supporting Actor category for his role as Gatehouse in writer and director Hugo Blick’s BBC Two drama ‘The Shadow Line’, in the same category Rea will face competition from Dublin actor Andrew Scott (John Adams) who is shortlisted for his performance as Jim Moriarty in BBC’s hit series ‘Sherlock’. Scott’s ‘Sherlock’ co-star Martin Freeman and Joseph Mawle (Birdsong) round out the nominees in the Supporting actor shortlist.

Brendan O’Carroll has received two nominations for his IFTA winning series ‘Mrs Brown’s Boys’. O’Carroll himself is up for Best Male Performance In A Comedy Programme while his BBC and RTÉ show has been nominated for Best Situation Comedy.
