Declan Mulholland

Declan Mulholland was born in 1932 in Belfast, Northern Ireland, UK.  

Mulholland was a carpenter by trade and during lean times (acting) used the trade to fall back on.  He was trained at the socially aware Unity Theatre, in Somers Town, in the fifties.  Mulholland also did radio and opera in addition to his theatre, film and television work, he also had a large arsenal of jokes and humor.  He was known for carrying his trademark umbrella.

In Mulholland's will he stated that all residuals from his films/appearances would be put into the Declan Mulholland Trust (helping young actors train).  Each year a  benefit is held, An Evening’s Entertainment: Declan’s Big Gala Night, Camden (North London), UK, to add to the bursary.

Mulholland resided in Primrose Hill, Fitzroy Road, Camden, until his sudden death (from a brain tumor) on June 29, 1999.  He is buried at Golders Green, London.

Miscellany

Declan Mulholland Trust was set up in Mulholland's honor.  From BritishTheatreGuide.info: As a legacy to encouraging a new generation of actors, he left the residuals that come in from his work to help students financially while they train. The money goes to the Declan Mulholland Trust, set up for this purpose. The Trust then makes one or more scholarships available (depending on the amount of money raised) to deserving trainees.
