Dan O'Herlihy

Daniel Peter O'Herlihy (May 1, 1919 – February 17, 2005) was an Irish actor known for his work in film, television, and radio. Born in Wexford, County Wexford in 1919, O'Herlihy moved to Dublin with his family at a young age. He attended Christian Brothers College in Dún Laoghaire and later studied architecture at University College Dublin, earning his degree in 1944. However, O'Herlihy's passion for acting led him to join various amateur theatre groups and ultimately become a member of the prestigious Abbey Theatre. Throughout his career, he portrayed notable characters such as Robinson Crusoe in Luis Buñuel's film adaptation, Brigadier General Warren A. Black in Fail Safe, Marshal Ney in Waterloo, Conal Cochran in Halloween III: Season of the Witch, and Andrew Packard in Twin Peaks.
