I understand that Richard now resides in Brinsworth House in Middlesex, a retirement home for actors. He was such a brilliant actor and 'Man about the House' is one of my all time favourite sitcoms.
Yes that is correct. Most Americans don't realize that Man About the House and Robin's Nest were precursors to two US sitcoms (one of them is Three's Company). It's ironic because so many people think that US pop culture is the dominant cultural influence in the world but it has been influenced to a large degree by British pop culture. So the latter has contributed to US "domination".
I met Brian Murphy who played George in Man about the house & George & Mildred on a tube in Kings Cross about 15 years ago. He told me that Richard was in a care home for actors, I was surprised because Brian is 10 years older and he’s out & about on the tube in London and Richard was in a care home. 15 years ago Richard would of been 62 which I recall thinking at the time was very young to be in a care home
In his prime he was so falling out of bed natural at acting very reminiscent of Richard Beckinsale, funny, the guy next door, the bloke down the pub. Which is why he was so believable and so beloved.
He played many, many parts from a very young age and was one of the best comedy actors Britain had. He worked in some of the most famous shows in the 60s / 70s and 80s and was loved by everyone. Now living a quiet life in a home for actors. All his fans here in the UK wish him well and hope one day he can return to TV. All we have of him now are repeats on TV and box sets of DVD`s. God bless you Richard.
Such a shame that you did not have the complete interview. Richard was such a popular tv personality back in the 1970's, and he didn't do many tv interviews. Thanks for posting this archive footage of one of our classic tv greats.
Nice to hear that Richard now resides in Brinsworth House, a place for retired actors. I know you have had your health problems, but may you have many more years of happiness, just as you have given so many like me, over the years with your various tv appearances. God Bless You Richard.
It's so sad to think of his health-problems - however, it won't take away the good memories he brings !. Always such a happy, easy-going guy - yet watching him just now in 'Cleopatra' (truly one of Hollywood's all-time great films !) playing a straight-role seems strange seeing as he's always been more associated with comedy but it just shows his range of talent. Would love to see a reunion with him, Paula Wilcox (?) and Sally Thomsett - even if it was just a talk-show format, it would be great as those 3 just seemed to 'bounce' off each other so well !. Whatever, I truly wish him all the best !
I had the pleasure of sharing a round of golf at a charity match with Richard sometime in the 70's. He was such a really nice man, very laid back, funny and friendly. A pleasure to be with. Tessa Wyatt joined us at towards the end of the round. I wish Richard all the very best,
Well said Belinda, more interested in his appearance than his interview and the many years of great comic acting, grew up watching Richard and seems a nice guy
I like Terry Wogan and I'm glad he's been around the BBC for so long but he was an awkward TV interviewer. I remember watching the Tonight Show in the US in about 1995, and Quentin Tarantino spent a part of his interview with Jay Leno complaining about Terry Wogan's interviewing technique - called him aggressive - of course, no one in the audience in LA would have a clue who Terry Wogan was. As for O'Sullivan, I do hope he continues to mend - good luck Richard.
Yes, Richard tells him he flies home from Rome, goes to watch Chelsea, then flies back to Rome where he's working as an actor, does that for eight months, and Wogan says he's mad.
I think he was a brilliant Actor I grew up in the 70 's and it was a A brilliant time to live in the 70 's was more laid back more relaxed most people didn't have nothing but they was happy And partly was because of actors like Richard osullivan he was an Actor that I always wanted to meet but unfortunately a pause never crossed I hope that today he is very happy
Thanks for this:) sadly the next time you see or hear anything about him will be like so many others, after is death! then there will be a documentary about him:(
A big thanks richard, you gave me many happy times laughing about the comedy in man about the house, please take care and look after your self, god bless and good luck for the future.
nice interview thanks for uploading shame its not longer,just to mention he also acted in most of the cliff richard movies and was in a few pop movies of the 60s
Christopher Warbey and his friend Richard O'Sullivan were onscreen together very early on, as two of the children singing at Sunday school with other children (including star of the film Andrew Ray) in “The Yellow Balloon”, filmed in the summer of 1952 and released in 1953. It was one of the first films to be passed with the then recently introduced 'X' certificate, which meant that no one under the age of 16 years was allowed into a cinema to see it. So neither Christopher or Richard or Andrew or any of the others there who were from the Corona Academy were allowed to see themselves on the screen in that film at that time. Richard would have been 8 years old at that time,
Great to see Richard during better times! Wogan was great at many things - he had a wonderful irreverence to the Eurovision Song Contest - but he wasn't the best interviewer. I remember sometime in the 1990's watching the Tonight Show on TV and Quentin Tarantino came on and spent about a minute complaining bitterly of the interview he just had in the UK with Terry Wogan (no one here knew Wogan from Adam)
It's absolutely shocking how quickly Richard O'Sullivan aged! He is only forty-one in this 1989 interview, yet he looks like a man in his late sixties! At seventy today he looks and walks like my dad did at ninety, and the tremendous weight he is carrying these days isn't helping matters any. I pray that he can regain his health (seventy isn't considered hat old these days) both physical and mental. He was a truly fabulous actor and just drop dead gorgeous in his younger days.
***** Alcoholism ruined him. I met him circa '94 at an AA meeting and went for a coffee, my impression was that he could beat the booze and drink normally, sadly some just don't get it. Luckily after a few years experimenting myself I got sober in '99...... Anyone interested in AA. Have a look here will explain more ..... Cheers Tom McC www.aa.org/assets/en_US/en_bigbook_chapt3.pdf
***** Your very welcome..... and to put it another way, for alcoholics; it's like trying to drink salt water to quench your thirst ; the more I drank, the more I craved.......
He is actually 45 in this interview.He was born in 1944.he does seem like a nice guy.I just watched the first episode of man about the house on itv3.Thought I would see what he was doing these days.He suffered a massive stroke in 2003 and resides in a retirement home.I wish him all the best.
i liked him in man about the house, the way he relentlessly chased chrissy (who is now in coronation st) him and larry made a great double act chasing the burds!! i'm as straight as they come but he was a handsome looking guy in those days and a very likeable chap
with short lightened hair Mr. O'Sullivan looks so different. Actually, he looks similar to the short French actor on Hogan's Heroes; but than he started to speak and there was no doubt it was him.
At the very beginning of this clip, he's talking about his first film, THE STRANGER'S HAND, which he filmed with Trevor Howard and Alida Valli in 1953 when he was nine.
What were the health issues that he started to suffer from in the 1980's? Believe it or not, but the guy who played George Roper actually was only about 10 years older than Richard at the time, but looked old enough to be his dad at least. The old fella out of Steptoe was only 49 he first time he played the role..
En España tenemos un dicho "los años no pasan en balde " Y las persona, son parte de lo que han sido y parte de lo que son en la actualidad Yo cuando conocí a este actor solo tenia 8 años pero tengo un gran recuerdo de sus interpretaciones en la serie "Men about the house" y pertenece a una etapa de mi vida que recuerdo con cierta nostalgia y por eso valoro todo aquello que me hizo sentir me bien
I still think he was underused as he is a brilliant comic and a real actor, unlike todays production line cardboard cut-outs with no personally and if it wasn't for their hairdos, we wouldn't know one from another. Thank you Richard for many brilliant performances both on the big and small screen. Best of wishes to you
Tessa Wyatt was Richard's co-star in 'Robin's Nest' which screened in the late '70's. Paula Wilcox and Sally Thomset played the two girls in 'Man About the House' which screened from 1973-1976.
Thanks for that info bro I always liked Richard O'Sullivan in man about the house,my mum and dad said I was a newborn baby in the Cribb when it would come on TV.
@@christopherdale8201 yr welcome m8..I was born in 71 so I'd be the same..I watch math most nights as it's a cheery program to watch b4 falling asleep..
I am sat watching man about the house .. and I can't help wondering if he ever catches it on tv in his room at the home he is in .. Getting old is shit lo
Thesals1 being a very highly paid tv actor for year's and spending money like it's going out of fashion is dumb. His fee for me and my girl was epprox £17,000 an episode, he'd have made a few million over his career that lasted from the early 50s to the late 80s. Films major tv sitcoms, commercials plus various other highly paid jobs like tv, radio and magazine interviews. An extremely lavish lifestyle living like a king and burning through all his money, only to end up a charity case
@@karlmaldensnose5889 How is it that you're privy to the details of his financial situation and his lifestyle? Are you his account/personal friend? I doubt it.
We just talked about him, so I searched and came across this interview. Brilliant - thanks for uploading this. I loved his sitcoms - wonder what happened to him?
Roger Williams Just watched him in "Spare The Rod", a wonderful film with Max Bygraves and Donald Pleasence just shown on Talking Pictures. His acting was excellent. Would love to meet him and ask him about his career. Suffered a mild stroke myself at 48 so can empathise with him. .
Hmm audio is good, was this from a nicam stereo transmission via Crystal Palace ?! I think Wogan was unofficially stereo from about 1986. If he was only 45 here he sure looks much older
Higher testosterone levels in those days, that why we have men who look like boys today. Our food and water supply is saturated with estrogen believe it or not.
Its in the water supply and food we eat, check it out, people are looking younger and younger for their age these days. I mean come on!..By no stretch of the human imagination is Shya Le Bouf a man...The Beatles when they started out were only 19 to 24 at the time, they would pass for men in their mid 30s today. In Ireland where i am from we put flouride in our water which messes with t levels, although its not have as bad here as it is the US, their food is swimming in estrogen thats why they have to get British, Irish or Aussies to play superheros in their movies, Amercian menare so boyish now they can no longer be taken seriously in the roles.
Try organic foods, your T levels will return to normal naturally. Im not saying i eat organic food or anything, im just saying thats why people looked older back in the day. Its not as bad here as it is in the US anyway, even the plastic wrappings and bottles there have estrogen mimickers in them. Where are all the American renegades gone? At least when i was a boy we had River Phoenix, Johnny Depp, Rob Lowe, all cool rebel types, today we have Shya le Bouf.
I never knew abut this show until last Friday, I love it like I love threes company.. I take it threes company was the amrican version as its all the same scripts.
Que gran actor , lo que nos hizo reír y disfrutar los viernes por la noche que era cuando emitían la serie (UN HOMBRE EN CASA) con Paula Wilcox gran actriz
Some comment here about actual date of transmission. I can give you this from imdb....making Richard a couple of months or so short of his 47th birthday. 27 Feb. 1991 Episode #11.25 Terry's guests include Gérard Depardieu, Peter Weir, Richard O'Sullivan and Paula Wilcox.
he looks a bit like steve coogan, in this interview, and also has that kind of awkward energy, that, makes you not completely warm to him, even though he was, like steve coogan a great sitcom comedian.
I thought I was the only one who picked up on that one. When asked about the 'Cleopatra' film set and "excesses" he said, "It was a long time ago Terrence, I was seventeen". He was admonishing Wogan for asking for dirt on Taylor and Burton; calling him "Terrence" like a headmaster would. Coogan is always a bit defensive in interviews and I think that's why I was reminded of him.
What a lovely guy and a talented actor. I always thought Richard would have made a brilliant Doctor Who.
I understand that Richard now resides in Brinsworth House in Middlesex, a retirement home for actors. He was such a brilliant actor and 'Man about the House' is one of my all time favourite sitcoms.

Yes and the girls from man about house . Help out with some bills etc . Friends who go the extra for u
He ran the London Marathon in 2016 to raise money for Brinsworth House....a true legend.
He met Meghan Markle there.......as if the poor guy hasn't suffered enough!
I met Brian Murphy who played George in Man about the house & George & Mildred on a tube in Kings Cross about 15 years ago.

Man About The House was, and still is, fantastic. As funny today as it was back then. Sadly not all sitcoms age so well. Good health to Richard.
Really nice bloke and a British legend.needs alot more recognition I reckon
He's a very watchable actor .. easy and relaxed.
Hope he's happy today .
Agree entirely, well put

He seems such a good guy, he made so many wonderful series that still stand the test of time.
Watched the series in Holland, this is comedy, still gives me so much joy, I wish him all the best, loved his shows!!!!
Very very sad about his health much loved ❤️❤️

Very sad that he has suffered ill health in recent years. Was struck down by a Stroke and now is being cared for in Nursing Home
That is so sad . I think actors like richard should always be remembered at how great there tallent was and what they did .

At least when i was a boy we had River Phoenix, Johnny Depp, Rob Lowe, all cool rebel types, today we have Shya le Bouf.
hats off to him

Que gran actor , lo que nos hizo reír y disfrutar los viernes por la noche que era cuando emitían la serie (UN HOMBRE EN CASA) con Paula Wilcox gran actriz
He was only 45 here! And only 29 when Man About the House started.
Some comment here about actual date of transmission. I can give you this from imdb....making Richard a couple of months or so short of his 47th birthday.
27 Feb. 1991 Episode #11.25
Terry's guests include Gérard Depardieu, Peter Weir, Richard O'Sullivan and Paula Wilcox.
Love Richard O'Sullivan and everything he's been in, but he looks older than 45 here and almost unrecognizable now. So sad.
he looks a bit like steve coogan, in this interview, and also has that kind of awkward energy, that, makes you not completely warm to him, even though he was, like steve coogan a great sitcom comedian.
I thought I was the only one who picked up on that one. When asked about the 'Cleopatra' film set and "excesses" he said, "It was a long time ago Terrence, I was seventeen". He was admonishing Wogan for asking for dirt on Taylor and Burton; calling him "Terrence" like a headmaster would. Coogan is always a bit defensive in interviews and I think that's why I was reminded of him.
The big difference between him and Coogan is that, he, unlike Coogan, was funny.
This guy is my grandfather's cousin, yet I've never seen him in my life lol
