“I was very conscious that the only way I would really be able to properly make it in the industry was if I didn’t give myself a safety net,” Â he said.
“If I put it all on the line, and basically went, ‘This is it, it’s do or die, I am giving myself no other options, I can only make this happen’. That is key.”
Jack explained there’s no difference between working on a big budget Hollywood movie and a smaller Irish flick, when he’s working his process is always the same.
“The way I look at it – whether I’m doing a movie that’s $400,000 or a movie that’s $150 million – when I’m doing a movie, I’m doing a movie.

“My approach to it is the same,” he told the Irish Independent.
“There’s never been a better time for Irish films than right now. There’s a lot of voices out there, a lot of really interesting people with very unique ideas.
“I’ve been blessed to work with some absolutely phenomenal Irish film-makers over the last couple of years.”
