James Martin, recognized for his Oscar-winning short film, is making waves again with his cameo in the new Netflix series 'How To Get To Heaven From Belfast', created by Lisa McGee, the mastermind behind the hit show 'Derry Girls'. During an exclusive interview at the premiere of the dark comedy, Martin, dressed in a striking leopard-skin jacket, emphasized the importance of not judging people by appearances. He indicated that the jacket, which he wore to the Oscars, holds special significance for him and reflects his unique personality.

In his new role, Martin plays Tommy, a detective in the crime thriller set in the vibrant city of Belfast. He expressed excitement about showcasing a different side of Belfast through his character and the storyline, rather than the familiar Derry setting. The anticipation for the show is building, and Martin's involvement is likely to draw attention, especially considering his recent accolades in the film industry.

The show dives into themes of crime and comedy, showcasing Martin's versatility as an actor. As he steps into this new role, Martin highlights the message of looking beyond superficial traits, a sentiment that resonates strongly in an industry that often emphasizes looks over talent. His remarks not only reflect personal insights but also underscore the evolving landscape of character portrayal in modern television.
