The star of Ireland’s newest Oscar winning film today told about the heavy handed tactics of US immigration officials who refused him entry to America to attend the awards.
Ruaidhri Conroy, who starred in action short Six Shooter, said he was barred from entering the States because he overstayed a visa by two days in 1998.
During his day-long detention in Los Angeles airport, the award winning actor was offered only crisps, crackers and processed noodles to eat.
Conroy claimed he had never been made to feel so unwelcome.
