Milo O'Shea (2 June 1926 – 2 April 2013) was an Irish character actor. He was nominated for the Tony Award for his roles in Staircase and Mass Appeal.
O'Shea was born and brought up in Dublin and educated by the Christian Brothers at Synge Street school, along with his friend Donal Donnelly. His father was a singer and his mother a ballet teacher. Because he was bilingual, O'Shea performed in English-speaking theatres and in Irish in the Abbey Theatre Company. At age 12, he appeared in George Bernard Shaw's Caesar and Cleopatra at the Gate Theatre. He later studied music and drama at the Guildhall School in London and was a skilled pianist.
He was discovered in the 1950s by Harry Dillon, who ran the 37 Theatre Club on the top floor of his shop The Swiss Gem Company, 51 Lower O'Connell Street Dublin.
O'Shea began acting on the stage, then moved into film in the 1960s. He became popular in the United Kingdom, as a result of starring in the BBC sitcom Me Mammy alongside Yootha Joyce. In 1967–68 he appeared in the drama Staircase, co-starring Eli Wallach and directed by Barry Morse, which stands as Broadway’s first depiction of homosexual men in a serious light. For his role in that drama, he was nominated for a Tony Award in 1968.

I was 22 and had just signed up with Manhattan Cable to produce a public access interview program called Spotlight. The format was Dick Cavett without the hubris. I ran into Mr. O'Shea on 72nd Street with his wife Kitty and asked him to be a guest. Kitty said "Oh, he's done that one, love," but clearly he hadn't. It was my mentioning "Dear World" that cinched the deal and when he arrived at the studio he slipped out briefly for a pint as we were getting set up. I have no idea what I was doing, but he kept the conversation going. Now I'm older than he was then. Ah, well.

You're not in love with me
I'm in love with you
You barely even noticed
What's good about me
So I'll keep on tapping my way
This song as my cane
For someone who dares
Take on this man inside of me
You could hardly see
Falling away
So I'll keep on swimming my way
Through that pitch black part of me
Singing this tongue tied and twisted melody
There you go falling into that sea of people
Falling away
You're falling away
It's gone without a trace
I'm singing love songs again
You're falling away
Those dark streets inside of me
How further can they be
Now I can finally see
That pretty seed inside of me
The one thing I need inside of me
And that beast ingrained in me
Is bursting to see
What you and I can be
