Frank Kelly’s career has spanned radio, TV, theatre, music, writing and films for the past four decades.
Although never classically trained, he has played a wide variety of roles in Irish theatre over many years, and he has toured extensively in the USA and Canada.
His TV credits include work on RTÉ’s children’s programme Wanderly Wagon alongside Eugene Lambert and Nora O’Mahoney from 1968-1982, playing a number of different characters and writing many of the scripts.
His work on Hall’s Pictorial Weekly and The Glen Abbey Show established him as one of Ireland’s most recognisable faces.
Perhaps best known for playing Father Jack on the hit comedy series Father Ted, Frank Kelly’s remarkable acting and writing career also includes a role alongside Michael Caine in The Italian Job, in 1969.
Currently on stage in a revival of John B Keane’s Moll at Dublin’s Gaiety Theatre, Frank took time out to speak with Wendy about his esteemed career in the arts.
