Born George Brendan Nolan in Shannonbridge, County Offaly, Ireland in 1899 (according to IMDB, NNDB and Wikipedia, although he was long thought to have been born in 1904) to a family with a history of British Army service. However, during the Anglo-Irish War (1919-1921), he was part of an IRA Active Service Unit as early as 1920 carrying out IRA directives.

He eventually moved to Hollywood where he made his first film in 1930.
