He’ s extremely successful after creating his alter egos Damo and Ivor, but Andy Quirke wasn’t always so ambitious.
The Dublin actor, who is the man behind RTE series Damo and Ivor has revealed he was a nightmare when he was younger.
Andy admitted over 186 notes were sent home to his parents during school, but he forged letters back to his teachers.
“I’d sign them all and send them back. Of course then the teacher would say, ‘I’d really like to meet your parents’ and you’d write back that we can’t meet up for various reasons,” he said.

“I was able to perfect my parents writing.”
After leaving school at 16 Andy went to work in his father’s business, but made it big when his Damo and Ivor music video Everybody’s Drinkin was shown on Republic of Telly.
Now pulling in over 250,000 viewers on his show, Andy said he’s finally doing what he wants in life.

“It’s amazing. I get paid to do what makes me happy,” he told the Herald.
“My mum and maybe my teachers are probably saying, ‘Finally he is making a living out of all that messing that he used to do’.”
