What did your grandfather say? I'll look out for him next time I see the film, so I will, to be sure. 
Joseph O'Dea, He was the station master and had a few lines in a few scenes.
A brother to the better known Jimmy O'Dea, King of the leprechauns in Darby O'Gill and the Little People.
One of my favorite movies ever [first seen when I was little enough that the banshee-coach was able to scare the absolute shit out of me], and your grand-uncle was superb in it. [I'll have to watch it again, with pleasure, to judge how your grandfather did...] The other hallowed place it occupies in film history is, this is where Mrs. Albert Broccoli's wife saw Sean Connery for the first time, and she immediately told her hubby Cubby, "That's Bond!"
P.S. Even with all the film technology that's developed in the last half century or so, has there ever been a more convincing depiction of little people interacting with Darby-sized humans? If so, I haven't seen it. The leprechaun effects are astounding, still today. [Except when they undercrank the camera to simulate their excitement at the forthcoming hunt, but we can let that one go.] I noted with pleasure that Peter Jackson used some of DARBY's low-tech gags in LOTR, such as setting two identical dining tables and masking the horizontal divide with food, so the "smaller" characters could sit way far away from the camera and still appear to be dining at the same table. Presto: hobbits in camera, acting with humans in the same shot! |
