The Second Death is a 2000 Irish short drama film written and directed by John Michael McDonagh. It stars Liam Cunningham as a middle-aged alcoholic who returns home from his local pub when he hears a voice from his past and comes to realise he is doomed.

- Liam Cunningham as James Mangan

Production
Cunningham, Fairley, and Gillen would all later star together in Game of Thrones.
