AN Irish electrician has landed a role in Home and Away after a talent agent spotted him in a Sydney cafe.

Keiren Noonan from Cork made the move Down Under six years ago hoping to work in the sparks field.

However, the Irish lad never expected to be hanging out with River Boys on the set of Australia’s biggest soap.

He told The Irish Sun: "I was just in a cafe when an agent approached me and asked me if I had ever acted before.

"She gave me her card and asked me to contact her if I was interested, so I said I'd give it a go."

The actor, 31, told the Irish Sun: "I'm over the moon I couldn't be happier. I'm very overwhelmed by it all."

Keiren admits he had to pinch himself while shooting scenes with Patrick O'Connor, who plays head River Boy Dean in the legendary Aussie soap.

He recalled: "Myself and Patrick were doing a scene when we spotted a pod of dolphins near the shore. I was standing on Palm Beach with the whole set of Home and Away behind me, looking at this pod of dolphins. It’s the stuff of dreams!"

The Corkonian is now taking a break from Summer Bay, before jetting off to Hollywood for some big meetings soon.

He explained: "I'm going to Los Angeles to touch base with everybody there. I already have an agent in Sydney, London and Cork, so I'm just trying to get my network together. My plan is to contact Home and Away again once I’m back."

Keiren now has hopes to become as big as other Irish stars who have made it abroad, like Colin Farrell and Barry Keoghan.

The former site worker wants to be an inspiration to others, and show the world that dreams really do come true.
