Biography
A veteran of Dublin's Abbey Theatre, Irish leading man Sean T. McClory resettled in America in 1949. McClory was signed by 20th Century-Fox, where he spent a couple of years in unstressed featured roles. He has been seen in several films directed by fellow Irishman John Ford, including
The Quiet Man (1952),
The Long Gray Line (1955) and
Cheyenne Autumn (1964). McClory's talents have been displayed to best advantage on TV, where he usually projects a robust, roistering Behanesque image. In addition to his many TV guest spots, Sean McClory has played the regular roles of vigilante Jack McGivern on
The Californians (1957-58), private investigator Pat McShane in
Kate McShane (1975), and hotelier Miles Delaney in
Bring 'Em Back Alive (1982). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
