Little Known Spaghetti Western actors ~ Richard Dillane

[These daily posts will cover little known actors or people that have appeared in more recent films and TV series. Various degrees of information that I was able to find will be given and anything that you can add would be appreciated.]


 Richard Dillane was born on October 15, 1964, in Kent, England, and grew up near London with his brother Stephen (also an actor). Their mother is English and their father was born in Australia to Irish parents. He took a philosophy degree at Manchester University, and lived in Australia for ten years, working in white-water rafting as a guide also as an actor. His

 occupations also included directing for theatre and opera, fruit-picking and demolition. He returned to the UK in 1994 and has appeared across all media. He is married to Scottish actress Jayne McKenna, and they live in Brighton, East Sussex (in 2015). They were married in 2005 and have three children, all boys: Austin, Murray and Ray

Richard Dillane has appeared in two Euro-westerns: “Dead in Tombstone” as Jack Sutter in 2013 and “The Last Hand” as John in 2014.
