correction; he definitely has light hair but I don’t think it deserves the title of blond, I mean his eyes are quite a solid brown, too dark to see on a natural blonde, I think the title light brown (brunet) is more fitted to him
Attractive too, especially in a man.
I have doubts this guy is a blond (now), it depends by the pic

If you condiser him blond, why did you write “brown hair” in Tim Roth profile who actually is blond?
I don’t know, I just go by what they look like in most movies I have seen them in? Callan normally looks blond, Tim Roth looks like some kind of brown?
Callan can’t challenge Tim Roth atm, that is blonde as even imdb says

I don’t see it, but I changed Tim Roth’s hair color to blond anyway. Just don’t say that Tim is Jewish.
Sorry I don’t want to offend but males are blond and females blonde.
Thanks follers. It is in very common usage. I’m not really a fanatic about words but blonde is definitely reserved to describe a female.
Yes McAuliffe is an Irish name.

From the article above.
“I didn’t really like my Sydney accent – nobody likes the sound of their own voice – and when I was a little younger tried to change my accent gradually,” he explains. “But I’ve only ever really lived in Sydney and Los Angeles, so I haven’t been influenced by the accents of some far-off land.” And yet he has Irish grandparents, and suspects there might be an influence, or identification, coming down the genetic line. And then there are his friends.
I don’t know if it is accessible from that link.
Keech his mother’s name is an English name. I haven’t been able to find out anything definite about his mother’s ancestry.
