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