Milo O'Shea

Milo O'Shea lives in my memory as one of those character actors who quietly elevates everything around him. The Dublin-born Irishman earned a BAFTA nomination for playing Leopold Bloom in the 1967 film of Ulysses and was twice nominated for the Tony for Best Lead Actor in a Play, for Staircase and Mass Appeal. That range across stage, film, and television speaks to genuine craft rather than celebrity. He worked steadily until his death in 2013 at eighty-six, and that warm, expressive face stays with you. I respect the lifers, the actors who simply keep delivering, and O'Shea was a fine one.
