Sullivan was one of Hollywood's most unforgettable character actors. He made his theatrical debut at the age of 18, playing a deliciously revolting Richard III at London's Old Vic, and went on to portray the great detective Hercule Poirot in a number of Agatha Christie plays. He entered pictures in 1932, never failing to mesmerize in classics like \u003ci\u003eSherlock Holmes and the Missing Rembrandt\u003c\/i\u003e (1932) with Arthur Wontner, \u003ci\u003eGreat Expectations\u003c\/i\u003e (1934), \u003ci\u003eThe Return of Bulldog Drummond \u003c\/i\u003e(1934), the horror flick \u003ci\u003eMystery of Edwin Drood\u003c\/i\u003e (1935), \u003ci\u003eThe Citadel\u003c\/i\u003e (1938), \u003ci\u003eThe Four Just Men\u003c\/i\u003e (1939), \u003ci\u003ePimpernel Smith\u003c\/i\u003e (1941), \u003ci\u003eCaesar and Cleopatra\u003c\/i\u003e (1946), \u003ci\u003eOliver Twist\u003c\/i\u003e (1948), \u003ci\u003eJoan of Arc\u003c\/i\u003e (1948), \u003ci\u003eNight and the City\u003c\/i\u003e (1950), \u003ci\u003eDrums of Tahiti\u003c\/i\u003e (1954), and \u003ci\u003eThe Prodigal\u003c\/i\u003e (1955).  He died of a heart attack in 1955, aged only 55 years.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e","brand":null,"offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51370458841327,"sku":"vch1793387282595","price":125.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0821\/3122\/2767\/files\/cat-004103122-francis-l-sullivan_1.jpg?v=1793387295","url":"https:\/\/sheerplywear.shop\/products\/cat-004103122-francis-l-sullivan","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
