O'Halloran and The Towering Inferno[edit]

The article previously claimed that a character played by Steve McQueen in this movie was named after O'Halloran. I think it's really unlikely that a major character from a big-budget movie would be named after a character actor, especially when it was made a year before that actor's first role. If you can back it up with a source though, by all means put it back in. -- stubblyh ea d | ^T/_c 21:35, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Anastasia[edit]

In an interview Mr O'Halloran makes some interesting claims.Foofbun (talk) http://socalshowbiz.com/index.php/people/in-the-spotlight/193-jack-ohalloran

Business Dealings & Nationality?[edit]

Jack O’Halloran was involved with a company called Debit Direct, which later failed, which was in itself involved with the Bayou financial scam. I think he then took legal action against Debit Direct because of this. It’s mentioned in the book Octopus: The Secret Market & The World’s Wildest Con, by Guy Lawson. futhermore this page listing his directorships states that his nationality is Irish, not American - anybody have any information on any of this, as it probably should be dealt with in the entry.

Reeve and O'Halloran[edit]

The article states that during a fight on the set between the two that Reeve ko'ed O'Halloran. This is highly unlikely. It would have been the other way around. Freakthemeek. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Freakthemeek (talk • contribs) 00:32, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have not fact checked this lol, but I am pretty sure he did not get knocked out by Jimmy Summerville of the band Bronski Beat, thus ending his career!!

That's what the link for Jimmy Summerville leads to. Although Jimmy had an interesting singing career, I don't think he was knocking out pro boxers, except with his moving lyrics maybe. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:49:4300:14B0:6C23:ED93:DCD8:8941 (talk) 05:24, 20 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Height[edit]

O'Halloran is described in this article as both 6' 3" and 6' 5"--which is it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.87.141.16 (talk) 08:51, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
