IRELAND'S GREATEST ACTORS: RICHARD TODD

Passed away last year and didn't get much of a mention in this country. Fair enough as he considered himself to be British (though he was born here). Impressive filmography: Hasty heart (the one where they say 'Yank knows a bit about politics' and Ronald Reagan appears!), Stage fright, Saint Joan, and The Longest day. One of those faces that appeared a lot on TV in the old movies.
