Sean Hollywood (1945–1998) was an Irish actor, politician, hurler and footballer. Hollywood studied at Queen's University Belfast and University College Dublin while playing hurling for Clan Uladh and County Down, and football for Newry Bosco GFC. He first entered politics campaigning for Paddy O'Hanlon of the Nationalist Party at the 1969 Northern Ireland general election in South Armagh. He became involved in the civil rights movement, and following Bloody Sunday, he took the leading role in organising a major demonstration in Newry, focusing on the need to avoid any possibility of violence or of being outmanoeuvred. Although declared illegal, the march was a success, attracting about 100,000 people.
