Charles Farrell (1901–1988) was an Irish film and television actor.[1]
Born 6 August 1901 in Dublin, Ireland, Farrell moved to America and appeared in a stock company in Detroit when a child. He came to England and made his first stage appearance at the Coliseum in 1921. His first film appearance was in John Bunny and Flora Finch comedies. Unlike his heroic American namesake, he (later) achieved popularity in villainous roles in films. This contrasted with his frequent broadcasts of fairy tales on the B.B.C. radio Children's Hour to a wide and appreciative audience.
