Peter O’Toole was an Irish actor. Your article says he was a British Actor. Peter O’Toole was born in Ireland, and only lived in England during the war years. I just watched him say that himself in an interview on the American Television show “LateShow with David Letterman” episode from 1983 71.174.239.166 (talk) 14:35, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The actor Peter O’Toole who my father knew very well, grew up in “Holbeck” Leeds. Not “Hunslet” as you have incorrectly stated. Please correct this error.

He won the Oscar in 2003 not 2002 WillisDavies (talk) 17:56, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not done I'm not sure on this. The awards ceremony for the 75th Academy Awards was in March 2003. However, he may have been given the award itself in 2002, based on the sourcing.[1]--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 18:56, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Peter O'Toole was a man who was immensely proud of his Irish heritage as demonstrated when he told American chat show host Charlie Rose that his Irish identity was "almost the center of my being" in a touching interview that highlighted how important his Irish identity was to him.

I believe it is doing a disservice to Peter O'toole to ignore his claim to being irish. Ignoring this is ignoring what he referred to as the "Centre of my being". Please conscider this edit. Sincerely, Tom 89.19.88.248 (talk) 04:41, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
