It’s been over 30 years since Into The West<\/a> hit our screens and melted hearts across the nation.<\/p>\n

While Gabriel Byrne turned in a stellar performance as Papa Reilly, it was little Ossie and Tito who ultimately stole the show. Sorry, scratch that, we meant little ‘Taaaayytoooooo.’<\/p>\n

It’s an absolute classic for the ages, and seeing as it’s been a while, we thought we’d take a look at what\u00a0R\u00faaidhr\u00ed Conroy (Tito) has been up to all these years later.<\/p>\n

At the time of its release in 1992, R\u00faaidhr\u00ed was just 13 years old, but today he is a 46-year-old man – and he’s actually been quite busy!<\/p>\n

It’s no surprise that he also doesn’t look like that anymore<\/a>. He looks like this (see below). After Into The West, he played Kevin in The Van – another classic – and went on to play in a string of films and TV shows.<\/p>\n

In 1998, he won a World Theatre Award for his performance in The Cripple of Inishmaan and also played opposite Brendan Gleeson in a short film by Martin McDonagh called Six Shooter.<\/p>\n

R\u00faaidhr\u00ed was invited to the 2006 Oscars when Six Shooter won the award for best Live Action Short Film… but he was held in immigration for 22 hours over a ‘passport infringement’ and never made it.<\/p>\n

He starred in TV3’s Trial of the Century mini-series about the Easter Rising and as Brother Rua in\u00a02017’s Pilgrimage, a film about a group of monks in Ireland.<\/p>\n

He also appeared in Dublin band Le Galaxie’s Love System video with Irish model January Russell Winters. In 2018, Ruaidhri played Cossie in RTE’s Taken Down – a crime drama series set in Dublin by the creators of Love\/Hate.<\/p>\n

And more recently, he starred in the movie The Professor and the Madman opposite Hollywood legends Mel Gibson and Sean Penn, so he definitely hasn’t lost his love of acting since first appearing in Into the West.<\/p>\n

Most recently, he picked up a part in the crime drama Barber opposite Aidan Gillen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It’s been over 30 years since Into The West hit our screens and melted hearts across the nation.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":198235,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[321,93,61,60],"class_list":["post-198234","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/198234","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=198234"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/198234\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/198235"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=198234"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=198234"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=198234"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
