My Take
Cyril Cusack represents the kind of actor I have enormous respect for: someone who treated the craft as a lifelong calling. A career spanning more than 70 years is almost unimaginable, and the fact that he was considered one of Ireland's finest stage talents tells me he earned that standing the hard way. I'm drawn to how he moved between the Royal Shakespeare Company's classical work and over 60 productions at the Abbey Theatre, never letting screen fame pull him away from the stage. Born in Durban but Irish to the core, he strikes me as a true man of the theatre rather than a celebrity.
