This is a black and white photo of the Irish actor Tom Hickey with two unidentified companions. Hickey stands on the right of the photo in a check shirt. While Hickey is best known for playing the part of 'Benji Riordan' in the long-running Irish series The Riordans (RTÉ), his film and stage work is extensive. His credits include My Left Foot (Jim Sheridan, 1989), Breakfast on Pluto (Neil Jordan, 2005), and What Richard Did (Lenny Abrahamson, 2012). In 2017 he starred in an award-winning documentary Feats of Modest Valour (Mia Mullarkey and Alice McDowell, 2017) about people living with Parkinson’s Disease which won a New York film festival award that year. Hickey passed away in May 2021 with tributes paid by President Michael D. Higgins.
