JACK MC LAUGHLIN
ACTOR • VOICE ACTOR • MOCAP ACTOR
LONDON • DUBLIN
Howdy, I’m Jack - an Irish actor from Dublin, based in London. I am a Jack of one trade, but it’s a trade I hold dear. Performance is something I’ve been fascinated by my entire life, whether as an audience member or as a stage, film, tv or voice player, and it’s something I will always pursue.
I studied acting at The Academy of Dramatic Arts(AADA)in their 2-year acting conservatory in New York City. I was offered a spot in their 3rd-year acting company, where I performed as a representative of the school across 4 seasons of shows. Through my time at AADA, I played many different and exciting roles - some of my favourites being: Neil in “The Play About My Dad” by Boo Killebrew, Bill in “Trouble in Mind” by Alice Childress, and The Mastiff in “The Moors” by Jen Silverman.
During the Pandemic, I moved back home to Dublin, Ireland then headed over to London, post-lockdown, to get back into theatre and performance. And I haven’t stopped since.
I am a Co-founder of the joint AADA Alumni-run Theatre Company: “Giggle Riot” and have performed in their shows as: Paris in “Juliet & Romeo”(2021) by Tom Inman (which won the Offie Award for Best Short Run), and as Rian in “Night Light”(2023 and 2026) by Maeve O’Haire and Tom Chandler, ( nominated for Offie awards for Best New Play and Best Set Design).
I have a strong background in stage and theatre performance, and am currently primarily employed in voice acting, audio narration, and motion and performance capture. I am an avid gamer, so I’m very pleased with this current career trend!
I am also a writer and playwright, with my debut play, ‘Cabin Fervour’, set to be performed in 2027, as well as several other projects currently still in development.
I’m a silly goose, hyperactive personality, nerdy Dungeon Master, and a man that will “yes and” almost any riff that comes my way. I love bringing people to life and that’s exactly what I’ll spend my life doing.
