Spielberg to star in his epic new series, was left reeling when faced with a horrific, real-life tragedy hours before he stepped on stage in a drama about death.
Dublin-born Andrew was still shaking with shock after the production manager of his theatre company was killed in a motor accident and the line between performance and real life became blurred.
With his dark brooding eyes and chiselled features, the 23-year-old recalls how he decided there and then to stop pushing himself towards fame and fortune and instead to relax with life.
The star of the acclaimed Channel Four drama, Longitude, who acted alongside Michael Gambon and Jeremy Irons, described the horror of that night in Galway when he was working with the Druid Theatre Company The Druid Theatre Company, founded in Galway in 1975, was the first Irish professional theatre company to be established outside Dublin. Founded by Garry Hynes, Marie Mullen and Mick Lally after the three had met and put on productions together while members of the University .
He said: "I was aged 21 at the time and playing a young priest in a show called The Lonesome lone·some

"It was all about death and one afternoon the production manager, Bernie Walsh, met his own death in a car accident.
"Everyone knew him very well. He had formed the Druid Theatre Company from absolutely nothing and his death had a resounding re·sound

2. effect on the company and the whole town.
"We had to go on stage that night in a story about death and the whole performance was very difficult, to say the least."
The production manager's death also made the young Scott look at life much more differently.
"I just remember thinking, 'It's ridiculous to be so concerned with ambition'. As an actor you think that life is elsewhere. You never stop pushing yourself and wonder where the next job is coming from. The result is that you don't appreciate your own success.
"But Bernie's death really changed my attitude to ambition and fame. I realised that there really is no rush for it. I'm not saying I don't want it, but I prefer to take my time.
"It made me take stock of my life and my direction. I began to look upon acting simply as a job and not my life."
The deep-thinking actor grew up in a close Dublin family with his two sisters, Sarah, 25, and 16-year-old Hannah. His dad, Jim, works in an employment agency and mother, Nora, taught art in a secondary school.
Andrew had no formal training in drama, apart from kids' classes on a Saturday afternoon. But by 17 he'd been snapped up to do an Irish feature film, Korea, followed by the BBC BBC

Now Andrew's playing Oscar Wilde's lover, Bosie Noun 1. bosie - a cricket ball bowled as if to break one way that actually breaks in the opposite way

In his soft, lilting voice, Andrew revealed : "It's not strange playing a gay man. I don't think it makes any difference whether the character I play is gay or straight. Their relationship is very sexual but it's not overly explicit in the play.
"I'm an artistic person with an artistic temperament. I take my work very seriously, but I don't research the parts. I prefer to work by instinct instead.
"For Bosie I didn't read any biographies because I just find all that stuff distracting. I only need to know about the world of the play."
In Spielberg's epic, Band of Brother, Andrew plays a young, innocent American soldier, Private Hall, and he had to learn to shoot and fight for the scenes.
"We had real military advisers who'd served in Vietnam so they knew what they were doing and everything is as accurate as possible.
"It's amazing that there are so many successful Irish actors, writers and directors around at the moment. I've just done Conor McPherson's new play in Dublin, and in the cinema a lot of my peers are doing very well.
"My parents' generation, who went to London or other places to work, really had to prove themselves, whereas I'm here at a time when a lot of us are really making our mark, so we feel much more in charge, and I'm very proud of that."

He has an aura of intensity about him, but the more he relaxes the more he shows his funny side.
He hasn't had a girlfriend for three years, which is amazing with his charm and good looks, but that doesn't bother him.
"I had a girlfriend in Dublin but I've been on my own for three years now," he said.
"I'm perfectly content at the moment and am certainly not hankering after a relationship. I've always been very self-sufficient and self-contained and I don't need a girlfriend to feel complete."
For the moment, the young actor is happy and content with his one love... work.
"Yes, my biggest love is work. I need to do it to feel good. I drink a bit but that's my only vice. But life is good for me. I'm working hard and enjoying life much more now that I'm in my 20s.
"My parents are very proud of me and very trusting of my decision to go into acting. But when I turn down a part, my mother tends to worry. But I'm happy to do things in my own way and in my own time.
"Acting is now my life, but I'm not interested in being a celebrity, or acquiring fame. I know it comes with success, but if I had a choice, I'd remain anonymous."
