Irish actor Eoin Macken has been touted as a “potential breakout star” for his appearance in ‘The Night Shift’, a one-hour pilot that has been ordered to series by American television network NBC, with three additional episodes ordered this week.

Macken plays adrenaline junkie T.C. Callahan, a doctor fresh from a traumatic tour in the Middle East, who clashes with a new supervisor overseeing the chaotic graveyard shift in the San Antonio Memorial Hospital in Texas. The series is one of four either commissioned or renewed as part of a deal brokered between Sony TV and NBC last May.

Macken has previously appeared alongside Michael Fassbender in Neil Marshall’s ‘Centurion’ as well as Irish rom-com ‘The Callback Queen’.

The Dublin native also recently wrote, directed and starred in his own feature, ‘Cold’, which featured appearances from ‘What Richard Did’ star Jack Reynor and ‘Merlin’s Tom Hopper and detailed the troubled reunion of two brothers as they are brought together by their father’s death. ‘Cold’ received its world premiere at the 2013 Galway Film Fleadh.

‘The Night Shift’ pilot has performed well with test audiences, and has been picked up for an eight episode, production having already begun in Albuquerque, New Mexico in late August this year. Shooting is due to wrap in mid-November, with creators Gabe Sachs and Jeff Judah (‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid’) to produce and ‘Taken’s Pierre Morel to direct.
