    We are watching 'Man About the House' these evenings and still loving it. Richard O'Sullivan has always been a favourite of mine, such a natural actor and handsome to boot! I never knew he was in Cleopatra though!! What a surprise!

    I met him today in Brinsworth House, the actors/artists retirement home, whilst visiting a friend. He was slightly frail but very charming and appreciative of being recognised. This is a fine tribute to him and of his talent. Thank you for uploading.

      UA-cam is the closest thing to a time machine in my opinion! This just came to me very randomly on my recommendation. After watching this clip i realised life really does pass bye so so quickly, I remember watching Dick turpin and robins nest as a ten year old, Those familiar faces that we remember on our tv so well in our childhood are still around, and to see them now is to take us for a split second that time we cherished as a child! What a wonderful and amazing life Richard o Sullivan had!

But now that I’ve seen how much time his career has spanned.. and bearing in mind how hard it is for a lot of child actors to make that transition to a future career.. makes his contribution all the more remarkable, in my opinion.
