Personal Quote:
[1988 interview] I'm not excessively "theater" or excessively an actor, but if I stay away for more than six months, I get edgy. I like to work and I don't really see a time when I would retire. See more »Trivia:
He was directed by his younger brother Michael O'Herlihy in both Profiles in Courage: Richard T. Ely (1964) and Hawaii Five-O: Termination with Extreme Prejudice (1975). See more »Trademark:
