D'Arcy Corrigan (2 January 1870 – 25 December 1945) was an Irish lawyer who became an American film character actor.

Life and career[]

D'Arcy Corrigan was born in County Cork, playing over 50 film roles from 1925–45. His early career included a stint as private secretary for a member of Parliament and as a stock company leading man.^[1] Corrigan had a distinguished appearance with his wrinkled, gaunt face; his roles typically were very brief but memorable.^[2] Corrigan was memorable as the odd morgue-keeper in Bela Lugosi's Murders in the Rue Morgue (1932) and as a blind man in The Informer (1935) by John Ford. He portrayed the ominously silent, darkly shrouded Spirit of Christmas Future in the popular 1938 MGM film A Christmas Carol.^{[citation needed]}

Most of his later roles were mostly small and uncredited, such as the thoughtful Professor LaTouche in the first scene of Bringing Up Baby.^[3]

Last years and death[]

Corrigan retired from acting widely in 1940 (except for one small role in Adventure in 1945) and died on Christmas Day in 1945, in Los Angeles, aged 75.^[4]
