Peter was born, according to various sources, or in Connemara, Galway, Ireland, or in Leeds, Yorkshire, England. Sam O’Toole difficult to shed light on this question; in his own words, he even birth certificates for two – and with different dates. Peter Roth family Scottish nurse Constance Jane and her husband, football player and bookmaker Joseph Patrick O’Toole. When he was only a year, the family went to visit him at the place of the biggest races of Northern England.

As Peter says, that at the time he was born wild inner fear of nuns; Fortunately, after he managed to overcome this phobia.
After school, Peter found work as a journalist and photographer for the ‘Yorkshire Evening Post’; But pretty soon he dragged work for the state – he was a signalman in the ranks of the Royal Navy.
From 1952 till 1954th O’Toole attended the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts; He originally planned to go to drama school at the Abbey Theatre in Dublin, but did not succeed – do not miss it because of ignorance of the Irish language. The Academy, however, he had to learn with such renowned actors in the future, as Albert Finney, Alan Bates and Brian Bedford.
The theatrical career of Peter – as many actors of the time – started with Shakespearean productions. On television, he made his debut in the 1954th and in the movies – in 1959.

It is thanks to this role of Peter learned in the United States; among other things, he was first nominated for the Oscar – in the category ‘Best Actor’.
By a curious coincidence, happened to O’Toole later nominated for the Oscar for the same role in different movies – he played King Henry II in the film ‘Lion in Winter’ (‘The Lion in Winter’) 1964 and 1968 years. In 1970, the actor was able to finally get to the scene Abbey Theatre, thus offset by an old failed – he played in the play Semuyulya Beckett ‘Waiting for Godot’ (‘Waiting for Godot’) together with the famous actor of the time Donal McCann.
The 1980th O’Toole once again gathered a lot of positive feedback – this time attracted the attention of critics in the film ‘Stunt Man’ (‘The Stunt Man’). In the same year, Peter has played in ‘Macbeth’; this role is to this day considered one of the greatest failures in the history of theater. The actor, however, was able to restore its reputation by playing in ‘Man and Superman’ and ‘Pygmalion’; also in 1982 O’Toole was again nominated for an Oscar for her role in the romantic comedy “My Best Year ‘(‘ My Favorite Year ‘).
In the 1989th Peter won the Laurence Olivier Award for role in Jeffrey Bernard ‘Unwell’.
