Brian McCardie is a Scottish actor and writer. Early life. Brian McCardie attended St. Brendan’s, then St. Athanasius Primary Schools. He went on to Our Lady's High School in Motherwell. His parents moved from Motherwell to Carluke while he was at school and he developed an interest in theatre, starring in a production of the musical "Godspell" with a local drama group consisting of youngsters from local schools. Career. McCardie recently appeared in the BBC One three-part drama "Time", as Jackson Jones, written by Jimmy McGovern, directed by Lewis Arnold and starring Stephen Graham and  Sean Bean. He also appeared in Sky Atlantic’s "Domina", set in Ancient Rome, playing Cicero. He performed his self-penned one-man play "Connolly" at the Lyric Theatre, Belfast but the cancellation of 2020’s Edinburgh Festival meant he lost the opportunity to present it in a six-week run in Edinburgh's Cowgate, where James Connolly was born and raised. He has performed readings of his own poems at various venues around Ireland and is currently filming them for distribution online.
