Jim Norton wins 2008 Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Play

[@TheTreaclePeople]

We were so lucky to have Jim's voice in our show! What a talent.

[@clarissamcpigeon7857]

If you try to bullshit him by not giving him the award, he will rip out your arms.

[@TheThejpmshow]

This is the high point in Jim’s career in contrast to the low point in Len’s career getting kicked up the arse by Fr Ted

[@briank10101]

I thought Fr. Jack took his passport. How did he get there?

[@TheThejpmshow]

@@briank10101 it was used as a bargaining chip

Why does Jim Norton speak with an English accent? I thought he was born and reared in Ireland.

[@lloyddutchsmiley1147]

You are right, he is from Dublin. If you list carefully, you can still make out a slight twang from his accent, however he speaks with what is considered a "Posh" Northern Ireland accent. Another good example is Sir Richard Wilson, who is Scottish, but also has a very diluted accent, again because he speaks with an upper class Scottish accent.

[@josephmullin5845]

Yes I can make out a little bit of irish twang. In "Hidden agenda" he spoke with a northern Ireland accent, which he pulled off well. In Father ted he sounded a mixture of scottish and irish.

[@lloyddutchsmiley1147]

If you are from Northern Ireland (as he is) you are British, do you mean he sounds English and Irish?

[@clarissamcpigeon7857]

He has a slightly stronger Irish accent in other clips I've seen. His Father Ted accent was exaggerated and what you get here is his proper soft, well-spoken Dublin accent.

[@flannerymonaghan-morrs4740]

Clarissa McPigeon yeah Dublin accents tend to be more non rhotic than other Irish accents.
