‘It’s no accident that I like the company of actors, I’d want to. There are enough of them in my family,” says Pádraig Cusack. The 63-year-old theatre producer is part of the famous Irish acting family.
His parents were both actors – Cyril Cusack and Maureen Kiely. Almost all of his siblings – Sorcha, Sinéad, Niamh and half-sister Catherine went on to be actors too. His brother Paul was a TV producer.
