Born - 15 April 1940, Ballynacrarret, Belfast, Northern Ireland
Dark, brooding Irish actor with tousled hair who looked set for stardom in 1960s, but did not quite fulfil his early promise. After TV work, he starred opposite Sarah Miles in I Was Happy Here (1965) and Francesca Annis in Run with the Wind (1966). Stardom eluded him, however, and in later years he became a balding and moustachioed character player. Further films included The Viking Queen (1967), When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth (1970), Moon Over the Alley (1976), The Human Factor (1979), Curse of the Pink Panther (1983), Resurrection Man (1998) and Divorcing Jack (1998), his last.
