Charles Farrell (6 August 1900 – 27 August 1988) was an Irish stage, film and television actor.[1][2]
Born 6 August 1900 in Dublin, Ireland, Farrell moved to America and appeared in a stock company in Detroit when a child. In 1921, he moved to England and made his first stage appearance at the Coliseum.[3] His first film appearance was in John Bunny and Flora Finch comedies. Unlike his heroic American namesake, he was later cast in villainous film roles.[3] This contrasted with his frequent broadcasts of fairy tales on BBC radio's Children's Hour.[4]
