Donal McCann

Lowest Rated: 31% High Spirits (1988)

Birthday: May 7, 1943

Birthplace: Dublin, Ireland

Widely regarded as the greatest Irish actor of the latter half of the 20th Century, Donal McCann was predominantly known for his stage career wherein he emerged as a major interpreter of the works of his countrymen including Samuel Beckett, Sean O'Casey, Sebastian Barry and, most importantly, Brian Friel. And as with other actors whose major focus was the theater, he amassed only a small, if memorable, body of work in films and television.
