The Vikings in Kildare town today cause a stir


In Kildare town today, part of The Viking set were seen near the Round Tower and Cathedral.
Phil Rigney, an extra in The Vikings, is based in Kildare town.
The father of two, who works night shifts as a Manufacturing Technician, has been working as an extra in The Vikings for several years.
Being an extra is a dream -job for Mr Rigney.
He said: "Being in The Vikings has been brilliant, I never had the confidence for acting. I always had an interest in The Vikings even before I auditioned."
Mr Rigney was not part of the Kildare crew today, but was part of the extras team, in Co Wicklow, just two weeks ago.
