Monaghan actor Matthew McMahon has been cast as the voice of Mr Wolf in the new animated series, Stories from Backwoods, set to premiere on RTÉ junior and RTÉ Player. The programme will air next Monday, November 25th. Produced by animation studio Ink and Light, the show promises to bring a magical world to life for audiences across Ireland.
Speaking to Northern Sound, Matthew shared his excitement for the project. The local actor said he had an "absolute blast" lending his voice to Mr Wolf in this brand-new series. He also paid tribute to the production team for bringing this magical world to life.
"It's a slap-stick comedy series set in Backwoods," explained Matthew. "All these animal characters are in this little community and they all have their different roles. It's very funny and very sweet, it's funny for the kids but I also think that humour is there for the adults as well so it definitely has something for everybody." The local actor and writer last year appeared on TV screens right across the country in a national advertisement for Rockshore. Matthew also toured theatres with his very own play 'The Flowers in May' which is based on his own experience of being the parent of a child with autism.
