Born George Brendan Nolan in Shannonbridge, County Offaly, Ireland to a family with a history of British Army service, however during the Anglo-Irish War (1919-1921) he was part of an IRA Active Service Unit as early as 1920 (at the age of 16) carrying out IRA directives. He fled with a price on his head by the British, although he claimed he had only been a courier for Michael Collins. He eventually moved to Hollywood where he made his first film in 1930. Signed to a contract with Warner Brothers he acted for more than twenty years, establishing himself as a dependable actor, but often dismissed by critics as wooden.
