Irish actor and Banshees of Inisherin star Gary Lydon dies aged 61
Actor Gary Lydon who starred in films such as Calvary, The Guard and The Banshees of Inisherin, has died aged 61.
He has been described as one of the finest actors in Ireland as well as a loving father.
Born Gary O'Brien in London in 1964, to Irish parents, he returned to Wexford with his family as a child and grew up there.
He would later take his mother's surname for his professional career, one that lasted decades and saw him appear both on the stage and on the screen.
Lydon first came to prominence after starring in Billy Roche's Wexford Trilogy of plays in the mid-1980s.
Gary Lydon’s sudden death comes before release of film in which he took a rare leading role
Gary Lydon, who has died suddenly, was one of the great Irish character actors of his era. Slightly hangdog in expression, with a rich, flexible voice, he excelled as the troubling Garda Peadar Kearney in Martin McDonaghâs The Banshees of Inisherin. He was a convincing Brian Cowen in The Guarantee, a study of the 2008 banking crisis. He won an Ifta for his performance as Patrick Murray, a counsellor in the RTÃ series The Clinic.
Keep your eyes open and you will catch supporting turns in Calvary, Brooklyn and War Horse. First noticed on stage in Billy Rocheâs famous Wexford trilogy, he is remembered as a thoughtful man who had much to say about the business of acting.
