Milo O'Shea as Friar Laurence in the 1968 film version of Romeo and Juliet

Milo O'Shea (born June 2, 1926 in Dublin, Ireland) is a character actor, recognizable for his bushy eyebrows, resounding voice and impish smile.

He was raised in Dublin, Ireland and educated by the Irish Christian Brothers, along with his friend, Donal Donnelly, who was born in England, but raised in Ireland.

He began acting on the stage, then moved into film in the 1960s. He became popular in the UK as a result of starring in the sitcom, Me Mammy, alongside Yootha Joyce. He has continued to be active in American films and TV, such as in the movie The Verdict, and the TV series The West Wing.

He is married to the Irish-born actress, Kitty Sullivan, with whom he has occasionally acted, most notably in a production of My Fair Lady, although they do not have any children.

He and his wife have both taken out U.S. citizenship.
