"Originally, [Jimmy Quinn] wasn't a failed piano player, but when I discovered that Michael Moriarty wrote and played music, we put that in [Q: THE WINGED SERPENT, and] just kept building on it. Of course, that character is more important than the monster." - Larry Cohen

Malachy McCourt

Physique: Stout Build Height: 5'8" (1.73 m)

Malachy Gerard McCourt (September 20, 1931 – March 11, 2024; aged 92) was an American-Irish actor, writer and politician. McCourt appeared in several films and soap operas, including The Molly Maguires, Brewster's Millions, and Another World. He also wrote three memoirs, describing his life in Ireland and in the United States. McCourt was the 2006 Green Party candidate for governor of New York. He was the younger brother of author Frank McCourt.

In his youth, he was tall, husky with strapping good looks, overflowing charm and entertaining gift of gab. I’ve long admired McCourt as a teller of tall tales, salty jokes and personal anecdotes of growing up poor in Limerick, Ireland and later moving to New York. When I'm reading about the many women he had sex with, I always got an erection with his colorful descriptions.

Born in Brooklyn and raised in Limerick, Ireland, McCourt returned to the United States in 1952 and worked as a longshoreman, dishwasher, and laborer. Soon after, he became an actor, then established the first singles bar in America. He then began a tumultuous radio career in 1970 on WNYC, WMCA and WBAI. McCourt acted on stage, on television and in several movies, including The Brink's Job, Q, Tales from the Darkside, The January Man, Beyond the Pale, and Ash Wednesday. He appeared on several New York City-based soap operas: Another World, Ryan's Hope, Search for Tomorrow, and One Life to Live.

According to his first memoir, McCourt was a bit of a whore. And I love that. In the 2000s, when I discovered him. Malachy at this time was in his late sixties, still healthy but tending toward portly. He was big-shouldered and broad-bellied, though age had diminished his physical dominance. but I’d still like to image attending a lecture of his so I can go and sit near him. Possibly, deliberately, accidentally, trip and fall over so that my face lands in his crotch. I find it best to be subtle like that.

He died at Lenox Hill Hospital on March 11, 2024, at the age of 92. In addition to wife Diana, McCourt is survived by a daughter from his first marriage, Siobhán McCourt; a son from that marriage, Malachy Jr.; two sons from his second marriage, Conor and Cormac; a stepdaughter, Nina Galin; nine grandchildren; and one great-grandson. Malachy and Diana McCourt had lived in the same apartment on the Upper West Side of Manhattan for 59 years.

The Stuff

Killer ice cream? You’d think that would be one of the worst ideas in horror film history, but in the hands of Larry Cohen, THE STUFF (1985, YouTube, Plex) comes off as an almost inspired satire of consumerism and the drive to convince people that “Enough is never enough.” It’s sheer pulp, but with such a loopy energy it’s easy to forgive its few weak scenes (Cohen was a great idea man who often couldn’t film a simple scene of two people talking) and the continuity lapses created when New World removed 30 minutes from the director’s cut. Cohen’s satirical aim can get a little broad at times. It may be hard to stomach the thought that humanity’s hope lies in the hands of a paranoid militia leader (Paul Sorvino) in Georgia, a state that here earns my nickname for it, “Stupidvania.”

In their second of five projects together (four features and one TV episode), Cohen’s muse, Michael Moriarty, is an industrial spy hired by a conglomerate of ice cream manufacturers to investigate The Stuff, an addictive, low-calorie desert that’s pushing them out of the market. At the same time, suburban kid Jason Bloom notices the product can move on its own and realizes his parents and brother (Bloom’s real-life brother Brian) are so addicted to it they can no longer think for themselves. He and Moriarty join forces with the ad exec (Andrea Marcovicci) who sold it to America and set out to uncover the secrets behind The Stuff and warn the world before what everybody’s been eating eats them.

Cohen’s film is delightfully off-the-wall, starting with Moriarty’s largely improvised performance as a man who plays dumb (and Southern) to get info that might be withheld from a smarter man. As in their first film together, Q: THE WINGED SERPENT (1982), Moriarty makes something charming out of a potentially irritating character. It’s a treat watching him con the foolish and connect with the wise. Marcovicci doesn’t get as many opportunities to shine (a scene developing their relationship was among the cuts), but she has moments of wit in dealing with the crazies they encounter and makes running from The Stuff in heels a comic comment on horror-film improbabilities. There’s also a nice turn by Garrett Morris as “Chocolate Chip” Charlie, a cookie magnate whose business has been taken over by The Stuff’s distributors. Eric Bogosian cameos as a supermarket employee, and Patrick Dempsey figures in the final scene. Even Cohen couldn’t tell you where a very young Mira Sorvino turns up (she did a bit while visiting her father on set). A big highlight are the commercials for the product, featuring the likes of Tammy Grimes, Brooke Adams, Abe Vigoda and, best of all, Clara Peller, demanding “Where’s the Stuff?”
