Jack Reynor to be Honored at Oscar Wilde Awards

Jack Reynor, an actor of Irish American heritage, will be the inaugural honoree at the 21st annual Oscar Wilde Awards. This celebrated event, organized by the US-Ireland Alliance, is slated for March 11 at the Ebell theater in Los Angeles. It is traditionally held just three days before the Academy Awards ceremony.

The awards ceremony aims to recognize individuals from Ireland who have made notable contributions to film, television, and music. Reynor, who was born in Colorado, relocated to Ireland at the age of two and currently resides in Dublin, has an extensive filmography. His notable works include "Transformers: Age of Extinction," "Midsommar," and "The Mummy."

US-Ireland Alliance president Trina Vargo expressed anticipation for honoring Reynor, recalling his early talent observed in "What Richard Did." The actor's career also features roles in "Sing Street," "Flora and Son," and the upcoming "Power Ballad" and "Citadel" spy drama. He is also set to appear in the second season of "Presumed Innocent" and upcoming films like "A Colt Is My Passport" and "Seasons."

Previous honorees at the Oscar Wilde Awards include prominent figures such as Maura Tierney, Domhnall Gleeson, Saoirse Ronan, and Pierce Brosnan. The event, which began in 2006, has recognized a diverse array of talent from the arts. Northern Ireland Screen is among the event's sponsors.
