They told me I was being just another temperamental actor... - John Ireland

John Ireland was a fine actor, who had many opportunities to go right to the top of the motion picture business.

He co-starred with John Wayne in RED RIVER (1948) and got an Academy Award nomination for ALL THE KING'S MEN (1949).

After that, he continued to work in movies and on television, but the important roles did not come his way. Powerful people, like Howard Hawks, Darryl Zanuck and Jack Warner saw that that didn't happen.

What was Ireland's problem?

Simply, he let his little head dictate when he should have listened to his big head.

JOHN IRELAND, Michael B. Druxman's one-person stage play, joins the actor at two points in his career. First, when he's about to finish his role in the Kirk Douglas film, SPARTACUS, then later when he is filming the pilot for a new TV series.

One man; one set.
