Molony grew up in Johnstown Bridge, Kildare, and after graduating from the Drama Centre in 2011, he went on to co-star as Giovanni in a production of the John Ford play 'Tis Pity She's a Whore at the West Yorkshire Playhouse.[1] Molony’s casting as a vampire called Hal in the BBC Three series Being Human[2] brought him his first television credit, though he has also starred in the short film When the Hurlyburly’s Done.
