Colm Brendan O’Shea (27) is one of the late Valentina’s friends, who still tries to see [name_f]Mariana[/name_f] when possible. He’s an actor who’s been experiencing much more attention recently after starring in a friends indie horror film and being lauded as the standout performance as the main antagonist. Coming from a large, [name_m]Irish[/name_m] American family, Colm regularly sees his numerous brothers, being the second eldest of six sons.
The loss of [name_f]Valentina[/name_f] is something [name_m]Colm[/name_m] doesn’t talk about much, given not just the emotional pain, but also as he doesn’t want to just tie her legacy to him thanks to all the support she provided. [name_m]Colm[/name_m] has a son with his former girlfriend Madeline but the pair ultimately broke up because of their different opinions about social media and exposure of their private lives. [name_f]Valentina[/name_f] seriously helped [name_m]Colm[/name_m] through this period, as he struggled with still loving [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] while not being able to agree with her opinions and asks of him.
Home improvement and minimalism are also interests of Colm’s, regularly working out in the garden to grow the family their own produce as he finds it therapeutic. To some people he can seem a bit joyless and too serious, which he tries his best to overcome, but [name_f]Valentina[/name_f] was never affronted by his demeanour and this greatly comforts him even now in the face of insecurities.
He’s also helping his little brother, a fellow aspiring actor and director, who regularly helps out on the shoots his brother and sister-in-law are involved in, with Colm always going out of his way for those he cares for.
I’ve reinvented [name_m]Colm[/name_m] pretty much from an abandoned thread - hope this is OK!
