''Ted'' proved brilliant for getting O'Hanlon recognition, but this was both a blessing and a curse. O'Hanlon wanted to be known as [[IAmNotSpock more than just a bumbling Irish priest]], and so took the role of the lead on ''Series/MyHero'' as Thermoman, alias "George Sunday", a dim superhero living a double life as a suburban husband. In [[FinalSeasonCasting the sixth and final series]], O'Hanlon chose to leave ''My Hero'', and so Thermoman was [[TheOtherDarrin recast]] with Creator/JamesDreyfus.

->''"Ireland is a land of poets and writers. Or 'drunks', as you call them..."''

Ardal O'Hanlon, (8 October 1965), is an Irish actor best known for playing Father Dougal in ''Series/FatherTed''.

He was one of the three founders of the International Comedy Cellar in Dublin. That was where he made his start at stand-up comedy. In 1994, he won the Hackney Empire New Act of the Year competition in 1994. His work in the stand-up business led to Creator/GrahamLinehan discovering him and casting him as the clueless Father Dougal [=McGuire=] in ''Father Ted''.

Around the same time as ''My Hero'', O'Hanlon provided the voice for WesternAnimation/RobbieTheReindeer, and wrote a novel, ''The Talk of the Town''. After starring in ''Blessed'' as Gary Chandler and making appearances in ''Series/DoctorWho'' and ''Series/{{Skins}}'', he joined ''Series/DeathInParadise'' after Kris Marshall left the cast, playing the role of DI Jack Mooney for three series. Once he left, his role in the series was filled by Ralf Little. He also made two appearances in ''Series/DerryGirls'' as Mary and Sarah's cousin, Eamonn.
