Irish actor Cathal Pendred has landed a lead role in a new Amazon Prime anthology series called Lore. 

Based on the critically acclaimed horror podcast of the same name, Lore recounts true stories of frightening and paranormal occurrences and one episode will see Pendred play Michael Cleary, a real-life character from Irish folklore.

The synopsis for Pendred's episode is as follows:

A cooper who makes barrels for a local creamery, Michael 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making more money than he does, and starts questioning his decisions, Michael is convinced that his loving wife has been replaced by a changeling — and he will do anything to prove himself right.

Since retiring from the UFC in November 2015, Pendred has slowly been cultivating an impressive acting CV that thus far has included appearances in Ray Donovan, Peaky Blinders and Into the Badlands
