Life and career

D'Arcy Corrigan was born in County Cork, playing over 50 film roles from 1925–1945. 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]
