Welcome to the showreel and gallery web-site for Emmett J Scanlan.
I was born in Dublin at a very young age in 1979. The age of aquarius.
I resisted my full potential every minute of every day in a number of schools which held as much interest to me as a documentary on braiding hair. I was introduced to movies at the modest age of 7 to such greats as NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET,
DAWN OF THE DEAD and JAWS.
Jaws influnced me deeply; In so much as I couldnt go to the toilet without hovering for 10 years ....Seriously..
Rocky was genuinely my inspiration; Sylvester Stallone my hero. From that moment on I wanted to act. I wanted to be a hero, without the hard work and graft that real life insists upon. I got my first taste of acting in a school musical, which is probably the time I got my first taste of women. Yet another incentive.
After my stunning daughter Kayla was born in 2002 I went into acting full time. Seeing as how I had more responsibity I thought it only right to take up acting.
I have had the absolute pleasure of working with great actors and directors who inspire me and continue to, making friends for life. I want to make a body of work that I can be proud of, that my family can be proud of. I love it. I can't do anything else. This is who I am.
