Life after fighting seems to be going pretty well for Cathal Pendred.
According to a report from Deadline, the retired former UFC welterweight has landed a lead role in the Amazon series “Lore,” which is an adaptation of a podcast that “recounts true stories of frightening and paranormal occurrences.”
Pendred will play Michael Cleary, “a real-life character from Irish folklore in the horror anthology series.” Cleary is “a cooper who makes barrels for a local creamery, [and] is married to the younger Bridget. When Bridget starts making more money than he does, and starts questioning his decisions, Michael is convinced that his loving wife has been replaced by a changeling — and he will do literally anything to prove himself right.
