The actor Gary Lydon had the ideal face for a policeman, and the look of a man who had seen almost everything, yet in most of his roles there remained an air of humanity behind that lurking suspicion so admired by casting directors.
He played a law enforcement officer in various film, including Calvary (2014) and The Guard (2011), rising to the rank of garda superintendent in the hit RTÉ drama Love/Hate.
