# Trademark 1 Inquisitive demeanor, was often cast as writers and/or reporters 2 Deep, rich voice
# Quote 1 Versatility is a dangerous thing. It's very satisfying to portray many types of roles, but often your own identity gets lost. Seldom does a producer say, "This is an Eddie O'Brien part." On the other hand, while the rewards may be great in fame and financially for stars, the work becomes monotonous. No actor who plays himself is a happy person.
# Fact 1 He appeared in two films which depicted the Normandy landings on June 6, 1944: D-Day the Sixth of June (1956) and The Longest Day (1962). D-Day veteran Richard Todd also appeared in both films. 2 Served with the US Army Air Force in World War II. 3 Often played characters with drinking problems and may have been an alcoholic in real life. 4 Appeared older than his actual age, often being cast as "old coots" when he was only in his 40s. 5 Ex-father-in-law of Michael Anderson Jr. . 6 In an interview, director Don Siegel recalled that during the production of China Venture (1953), he noticed that O'Brien was spending more and more time in his trailer before a scene, and was beginning to arrive late for shooting, which he had never done before. Suspecting that O'Brien might be secretly drinking before he went on camera--an experience Siegel had undergone with several well-known actors he had worked with--the director peeked through the windows of O'Brien's trailer one day and was surprised to see a young man reading O'Brien's lines to him. It turned out that O'Brien's eyesight and memory were beginning to fail him, he didn't want the studio to find out and fire him, so he had his assistant read him his lines and stage directions immediately before he was to shoot a scene so he wouldn't forget them on-camera. 7 O'Brien was originally cast as the photo-journalist Jackson Bentley (based on Lowell Thomas ) in Lawrence of Arabia (1962). After O'Brien filmed several scenes, he suffered a heart attack and had to drop out of the picture. He was replaced by Arthur Kennedy . 8 Was cast in Black Christmas (1974) as Lt. Kenneth Fuller, but the part was recast with John Saxon because of O'Brien's poor health. He was rumored to be suffering from Alzheimers. 9 Father-in-law of Ingrid K. Behrens (wife of son Brendan O'Brien ). 10 A German Shepherd aficionado. 11 Recited Shakespeare with Keith Moon at Sam Peckinpah 's surprise birthday party. 12 Second actor to portray the title character on CBS Radio's "Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar" (1950-1952). 13 Younger brother of screenwriter Liam O'Brien . 14 Interred at Holy Cross Cemetery, Culver City, California, USA. Specific Interment Location: F, T54, 50. 15 At the age of 10 he learned conjuring tricks from his neighbor, Harry Houdini . 16 His production company, Tiger Productions, came from his childhood nickname, 'Tiger'. 17 Father, with Olga San Juan , of actress Maria O'Brien , TV producer Bridget O'Brien Adelman and Brendan O'Brien .
