O’Toole ended up as the arrogant, petulant, debauched Henry in a great performance that stood as a poke in the eye to typecasting. Watch O’Toole’s mild, kindly schoolmaster in “Goodbye, Mr. Chips” (1969), and then his megalomaniacal chessmaster of a director in “The Stunt Man.” Check out his sadistic Nazi in “The Night of the Generals” (1967) back-to-back with his diffident, soft-spoken tutor in “The Last Emperor” (1987). Then watch O”Toole metamorphose from Jesus Christ into Jack the Ripper over the run of “The Ruling Class” (1972). Tell me when you’re done that Peter O’Toole wasn’t a versatile actor.
Another criticism of O’Toole is not so easy to rebut: that his long and eventful career contained a strong note of unfulfilled promise. Outside of his eight Oscar-nominated performances, the good pickings are indeed few and far between. He spent most of the ’70s paying the physical price for his previous drunken carousing, and his final Oscar nomination for “Venus” (2006) came after a quarter century in which he had achieved little of distinction as a movie actor. That undistinguished period ironically began with O’Toole’s triumph in “My Favorite Year.” Although O’Toole’s portrayal of a disappointed, alcoholic has-been who roars “I’m not an actor, I’m a movie star!” was almost universally praised, it was suspected just as unanimously of being autobiographical.
O’Toole’s career began on the stage, where at the Bristol Old Vic in the late ’50s he made his first significant splash as a Hamlet apparently not to be forgotten. But when, after achieving international superstardom, he played the Melancholy Dane in a London production directed by Laurence Olivier, his performance was judged to be unremarkable. His 1980 Macbeth is still remembered today as one of the great disasters of modern British theatre. His Professor Henry Higgins in a 1980s revival of “Pygmalion” did well enough in London, but when the production transferred to New York, O’Toole’s one and only Broadway outing did not generally impress (although a 13-year-old named Jake Riordan liked it). Probably O’Toole’s greatest success as a stage actor was in two runs of the play “Jeffrey Bernard is Unwell,” in which he played a boozy, dissipated newspaper columnist. Again, there were whispers of autobiography and self-parody.
