The most obvious example is James Mallory in Duck, You Sucker, but I was wondering if there were any other Spaghetti Westerns that feature Irish characters? The 1971 film Ned Kelly is one of my favorite non-Spaghetti Westerns and Irish from Red Dead Redemption is one of my favorite video game characters so I was curious about other examples in the genre.
I have watched Run Man Run and Mannaja where Donald OāBrian appeared, but he also performed in Four of the Apocalypse, Keoma and Silver Saddle. But that was an Irish actor !

The priest played by Robert Shaw in * A Town Called Bastard is an Irishman. At least it is an Eurowestern.

Sorry I donāt know of any answers to your question but Iām really glad someone loves Irish as much as I do. Iāve 100 percented Redemption 1 and UN I think Seven times, and he still makes me laugh out loud on several occasions.

Havenāt heard of this one, Iāll have to check it out. Thanks for the recommendation.
Thanks, still need to watch this one. The first two were a lot of fun.
Never knew he was Irish, interesting. I guess the dubs I watched never gave him an accent.
Thanks, just watched this one recently actually. Canāt believe I forgot he was Irish, I remember thinking it was an odd choice for the character (though a lot of things about that movie were odd).
Heās incredible, reminds me a lot of Tuco from The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly. I was really hoping thereād be a Spaghetti Western featuring a scummy Irish outlaw like him, but unfortunately it doesnāt seem like there is.

I wonder how that surname was chosen?
In case anyone is wondering, apparently the film Man of the East has an Irish prostitute in it as well.
HAH, āOh me virgin ears!ā Wish I had gotten the chance to play online mode in RDR1 just to play as Irish.
Shoot, canāt believe I didnāt remember him. Though, in my defense, he does die within the first fifteen minutes of the film.
Do you mean Mallory? According to Google itās, āa name for a person who was known for bad luck and an unhappy disposition.ā

I meant McBain but thanks for the information. Nice piece of trivia.
Specks from āEl Puroā is also Irish.

I feel like such an idiot because I never thought of them.
Just remembered, I think the old man, āDirty,ā played by Antonio Palombi in My Name is Nobody is also supposed to be Irish. He has a really small role, but I thought it worth mentioning.
Yeah, makes me wonder if it was intentional or not.
Heard El Puro mentioned a few times, another one Iāll have to watch.

Iāve heard that āBrett McBainā came from the names of American mystery writers Brett Halliday of Mike Shayne fame and Ed McBain who wrote the 87th Precinct novels. that may have been mentioned somewhere in Prof. Fraylingās massive book about OUATITW.
I assume Budās character OāBannion in TODAY ITāS ME, TOMORROW YOU is supposed to be Irish or Irish-American.
Heh, with a last name like McBain itās probably a good guess, thanks for the rec.
