Distinguished Irish character actor of stage and screen,  Norton’s career has encompassed performances at the London Old Vic, the National Theatre and on Broadway. His collaborations with playwright Conor McPherson have included a Tony Award-winning performance in The Seafarer. On screen he is known, as Bishop Brennan, in the popular sitcom Father Ted.
