Sean Boru (born Desmond Patrick Bruen; 20 March 1953, in Dublin, Ireland – 14 February 2011, in Essex, United Kingdom)[1] was an Irish actor and author.
In 2005 Boru wrote a one-man stage show called And over here on the left,[2] in which he played the character of a tour guide.
Turning the theatre into the bus, he used a mix of film, still pictures, and 3D images, projected onto the stage and a screen, for the audience to focus on.
Pete Doherty asked him to ghostwrite his autobiography in early 2009; after months of negotiations Boru declined the offer on the grounds that the model Kate Moss was concerned about her private life being exposed.
He wrote a regular 2 page column in all of the 45 lifestyle magazines issued monthly by the Fish Publishing Group, covering five counties, Herts, Bucks, London, Essex and Kent with an estimated readership of 2 million people.
[citation needed] In 2006 he was signed by literary agent Diane Banks, and was the ghost writer for an edition of the Alex Higgins story, published in May 2007 by Headline.
