Early life edit

Born in Dublin,[2] Walsh was the son of a journalist and a civil servant.[3] He attended St Mary's College, Rathmines, and on the wishes of his parents, read Law at University College Dublin.[3] Walsh studied acting at the Abbey Theatre School and spent three years with Lord Longford's repertory company at the Gate Theatre,[2] working as an assistant stage hand.[3]

Career edit

In 1945 Walsh moved to Britain and briefly joined the Croydon Repertory. Upon his return to Dublin he was spotted by a talent scout from the Rank Organisation. This led to parts in Bedelia, Hungry Hill and The Mark of Cain, and the beginning of Walsh's career in film.[3] He appeared in seven films as a leading man, before returning to the theatre. Walsh later resumed his film career in a series of B movies.[2] He appeared in over forty films made for film and a hundred for television,[3] making his final film appearance in 1983.

Walsh made his first London stage appearance in George Bernard Shaw's Buoyant Billions at the Prince's Theatre in 1949.[2] A prolific theatre actor,[3] Walsh's many theatre credits included Reluctant Heroes, The Man Most Likely To, Laburnum Grove and The Mousetrap.[2] He also turned his hand to writing and producing, writing the play The Murder Line in 1967 and producing later productions, including Blithe Spirit and Stage Struck.[4]

Walsh's television work included appearances in Danger Man, No Hiding Place and Softly, Softly. He also played the title role in all 39 half-hour episodes of the series Richard the Lionheart in 1962 and 1963.[2]

Personal life edit

Walsh was married three times. He married the actress Hazel Court in 1949, and the couple had a daughter, Sally (born 1950), before they were divorced in 1963. He next married another actress, Diana Scougall, in 1968, and the couple had a son, Michael (born 1969), before they were divorced in 1974. He married a third actress, Elizabeth Annear, that same year, and the couple had two daughters, Elisabeth Dermot Walsh (born 1974), herself now an actress, and Olivia (born 1977). Elizabeth Annear died in 1993.[3][4]
