  • O'Dowd was born in Boyle, Co. Roscommon in the Republic of Ireland on October 9, 1979. He studied politics at University College Dublin (UCD), where he contributed to the university's newspaper, The University Observer, and was also involved in the UCD Dramasoc and the Literary and Historical Society. Originally, O'Dowd's passion was in speechwriting rather than acting, however, this changed when he accompanied a friend to an audition, and landed the part himself instead of his friend. He then moved to Britain to persue his passion for acting. He subsequently attended the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts (LAMDA). Coincidentally, this is where O'Dowd met his future The IT Crowd co-star, Katherine Parkinson. He has admitted that both he and Parkinson were 'two of the worst students'. Neither finished their courses there, and left because both of them 'kind of got a mixture of thrown-out and left-of-our-own-volition'. O'Dowd also worked as an impersonator of singer and Live Aid creator, Bob Geldof, and also featured on a Pizza Hut advert, he also appeared in an advert for Daz washing powder, playing Sean, who after cheating on his girlfriend Lisa, gets a large plateful of spaghetti bolognese emptied down his clean white shirt and a huge bowl of trifle tipped over his head, whilst sat in a restaurant .
