Talk:Lawrence Tierney

Untitled
I'm a little puzzled by the reference to this fine actor as an "Irish-American" actor. Yes, I realize he had an Irish-American heritage. However, he did not play Irish roles, so I find it odd that he is identified at the very top as an "Irish-American" actor. --Mantanmoreland 15:24, 23 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Merely to imply the common Irish/Alcoholic association?173.72.63.96 (talk) 00:08, 29 October 2016 (UTC)Normer Mailman

I'd like to get a source on that Seinfeld story. That, and the reason stated why he didn't return to the show is something that shouldn't be listed without a source, be it from an article (non-Wiki), tv special, and so on. --Gero 23:51, 15 September 2006 (UTC)


 * According to the The Jacket article, the source for the story is the DVD. I inserted a reference to a newspaper article about the DVD, which quotes Julia Louis-Dreyfus calling him "a total nut job."--RattBoy 13:20, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

The IMDB bio of the actor "Scott Brady" (aka Gerard Kenneth Tierney) claims he had TWO brothers, Lawrence and Edward, and that their mother was "Maria," not "Mary." http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0103722/bio Arcanicus (talk) 16:02, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

The Hoodlum
The events in his life of June 1975 sound a lot like the events in his character's life in the film 'The Hoodlum'. 2001:56A:F414:D300:6848:C711:22FB:DAE0 (talk) 19:59, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
