Dermot Morgan (Father Ted Crilly): Dermot Morgan played the titular character, Father Ted Crilly, a perpetually exasperated and morally questionable priest. Tragically, he passed away in 1998, just days after completing the final episode of the series, due to a heart attack. His untimely death shocked fans and the entertainment industry alike, leaving a void that has never been filled.

Ardal O'Hanlon (Father Dougal McGuire): Ardal O'Hanlon portrayed the dim-witted and naive Father Dougal McGuire. O'Hanlon continued to enjoy success after "Father Ted." He appeared in various comedy shows, including his own series, "My Hero," and had roles in films such as "The Butcher Boy" and "Ella Enchanted."

Frank Kelly (Father Jack Hackett): Frank Kelly played the outrageous and constantly inebriated Father Jack Hackett. Kelly had a long and distinguished career in acting, both on stage and screen, before and after "Father Ted." He continued to perform in theater productions and had notable roles in TV series like "Emmerdale" and "Mrs. Brown's Boys." Frank Kelly passed away in 2016, leaving behind one of the biggest legacies in Irish entertainment.

Pauline McLynn (Mrs. Doyle): Pauline McLynn brought the quirky and tea-obsessed housekeeper, Mrs. Doyle, to life. After "Father Ted," she had a successful career in acting. McLynn was recognized for her role as Mrs. Doyle, but she also appeared in various TV shows, films, and theater productions. Her versatility as an actress allowed her to take on a wide range of characters.

Tragically, the untimely deaths of Dermot Morgan and Frank Kelly remind us of the fragility of life, but their work will forever be cherished by fans, and their contributions to the world of entertainment will never be forgotten.
