Michael Lally (10 November 1945 – 31 August 2010)[2][3] was an Irish stage, film, and television actor. He departed from a teaching career for acting during the 1970s.[3] Though best known in Ireland for his role as Miley Byrne in the television soap Glenroe,[4] Lally's stage career spanned several decades,[5] and he was involved in feature films such as Alexander and the Academy Award-nominated The Secret of Kells.[6] He died in August 2010 after a battle with emphysema.[7] Many reports cited him as one of Ireland's finest and most recognisable actors.[3][4][8]
