Cyril Cusack: Lár an Stáitse
Cyril Cusack was one of Ireland’s greatest actors. His long career began in the early days of Irish silent cinema and saw him conquer stage, screen and television. Cusack appealed to many generations across his 75-year career. To some he was the movie star who popped up in major Hollywood films. To others he was Uncle Peter in Glenroe. He was an actor, poet, playwright and Irish language enthusiast. Featuring rare family photos, exclusive interviews with his six children and the greatest moments from his long career, this documentary is the definitive portrait of one of our finest actors.
