About me / Bio:
Barry Fitzgerald was an Irish stage, film and television actor who had a career spanning almost forty years. He started as a civil servant and a part-time actor at the Abbey Theatre in Dublin, where he performed in several plays by Sean O'Casey. He moved to Hollywood in 1935 and appeared in many notable films, such as The Long Voyage Home, How Green Was My Valley, The Sea Wolf, And Then There Were None and The Quiet Man. He won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor and was also nominated for the Best Actor Oscar for his role as Father Fitzgibbon in Going My Way in 1944. He was the only actor to ever receive such a double nomination. He was known for his distinctive Irish brogue and his ability to steal scenes with his comic timing and charm. He was the older brother of actor Arthur Shields. He died of a heart attack in his native Dublin in 1961. He was listed as number 11 on The Irish Times list of Ireland's greatest film actors in 2020.
