He is Colin Morgan. This incredibly talented actor from Armagh, Northern Ireland, currently stars as the title character in BBC's Merlin.

Every hero needs a villain though, and that's where she comes in.

She is Katie McGrath. This Trinity College graduate took the leap into acting and currently plays Morgana Pendragon, Priestess of the Old Religion.

Off-screen, though, it's a different story. This Irish duo share a strong friendship with a mutual love for all things geeky, musical (she adores Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds while he probably owns every Death Cab For Cutie shirt ever made), and a knack for colour coordination.

This blog is dedicated to these two rising talents and their amazing relationship.
