What Richard Did star Jack Reynor has been signed with talent agency WME.
The 20-year-old Irish actor plays the title role in the Lenny Abrahamson-directed drama which had its world premiere on Sunday night at the Toronto International Film Festival.
The film tells the story of Richard Karlsen, a Dublin school leaver with the world at his feet who "does something that destroys it all and shatters the lives of the people closest to him".
Reynor also starred in Dollhouse, an Irish film which was written by Oscar-nominated writer Kirsten Sheridan.
