Alan Smyth is an actor, writer, and director. He was born and raised in Dundalk, Ireland, before moving to Dublin to train as an actor. He has performed in every major theater in Ireland and further afield at The Opera House, Cairo; Lincoln Center, New York; and The Spoleto Festival in Charleston, South Carolina. Since moving to the USA in 2007, he has guested/recurred on many TV shows, including CSI:NY, NCIS, Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior, The Middleman, Persons Unknown, Leverage, Castle, Grimm, Caper, Children’s Hospital, The Bold & the Beautiful, The Last Ship, Dice, and Better Things. His feature film work in the US includes The Fallen Faithful, Poor Behavior (written and directed by Theresa Rebeck), The Outfield, and Under My Skin. Alan is a prominent audiobook narrator and can be heard in several serialized podcasts (In particular, check out Styx.. it's a cracker!) Theater in LA includes Absurd Person Singular and Zealot at South Coast Rep and Poor Beast in the Rain (The Matrix). He is a company member of Bespoke Plays, a writer-based theatre company in LA, and a proud member of InHouse Theatre for several years, with whom he played Dermot in Port Authority (which he also co-directed) and Kenneth in A Night in November. Irish actor Alan Smyth reprises his tour de force performance in A Night in November about one of the most explosive nights in The Troubles. It’s November 1993, and Northern Ireland faces the Republic of Ireland in a World Cup qualifying match at Windsor Park in Belfast. The game is made all the more consequential since it occurs just weeks after the Shankhill Bomb and The Greysteel Massacre. Multiple roles are masterfully performed by Smyth, who, according to Irish Arts and Entertainment, “inhabits each of the characters with such care and specificity, the audience is almost unaware they are watching a single individual...” The audience cheers on the teams in the rousing finale to this provocative piece of theater.
