Omg it is! He looks drastically different from how I remember him
Well, he is 72 years old. I've loved him ever since his Remington Steele days.

My mother used to call that coloring "dark Irish," black hair + blue eyes = gorgeous. *fans self*

Here he is walking his dog Shilo, just to keep things (kind of) on topic.

From what I understand, no. “Black Irish” refers to Irish people of Spanish ancestry. Dark hair, dark eyes, Irish skin lol
It can also mean that. It's changed over the years. Dark or black Irish used to just mean native Irish who have thick black, almost blue-black hair, light skin and blue eyes, e.g., Pierce Brosnan, or any of a number of people on the cover of romance novels. 😄 We're from Co. Kildare so that might be a regional usage, too.

I've never seen black Irish in any of my relatives so of course we've always coveted that look. We're all pale skinned with light eyes, light lips and eyebrows, and fine light brown or ash blonde hair with strawberry undertones, or redheads. Strong genes, too: the descendants of my maternal great-grandmother all look so much like her. I'm essentially her but 13" taller (those are my Viking genes poking through).

Just to make this dog-related, here's a picture of an Irish setter. 🥰
