In the video, the Ballymena man says: “Everyone knows someone who’s experienced cancer, either a friend or a family member.
“I myself have had four relatives die from this horrible disease.
“You never want to see anyone go through it, but the reality is that one in two people will be diagnosed with cancer in our lifetime.
“By acting now, we’ve got a far better chance of beating this disease in the future.

“That’s why we’ve got to keep raising money to support the research that will save lives.”
The Taken star appears alongside Jodie Comer, Lesley Manville, and O-T Fagbenle in the powerful new campaign video.
Stand Up To Cancer is a televised effort to raise funds for cancer research, which started in the US.
SU2C UK is brought to viewers by Cancer Research UK and Channel 4, and has raised over £38 million to date.
They say their aim is to “accelerate progress in life-saving cancer research,” and says that “Stand Up To Cancer takes developments in the labs and accelerates them into brand new tests and treatments for cancer patients who need them right now.”
