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. Corrigan had a distinguished appearance with his wrinkled, gaunt face; his roles typically were very brief but memorable.Corrigan was memorable as the odd morgue-keeper in Bela Lugosi's Murders in the Rue Morgue and as a blind man in The Informer by John Ford. He portrayed the ominously silent, darkly shrouded Spirit of Christmas Future in the popular 1938 MGM film A Christmas Carol. Most of his later roles were mostly small and uncredited, such as Cary Grant's superior Professor LaTouche in the first scene of Bringing Up Baby.
