F. J. McCormick (real name Peter Judge) (16 June 1890 in Skerries,
Ireland â€" 24 April 1947 in Dublin, Ireland) was an Irish actor who
became known for his work at Dublin's Abbey Theatre. He joined the
Abbey at age 19, and acted in some 500 productions there, a list of
which can be found in the Abbey Theatre Archive. He is especially
remembered for his work in the plays of Seán O'Casey.He acted in four
films, including John Ford's version of O'Casey's The Plough and the
Stars (1936) and Carol Reed's Odd Man Out (1947), in which he played
the opportunistic Shell. He died in 1947 of a brain tumour.In their
review of the film Hungry Hill (also 1947), The New York Times wrote,
"As the butler who served John Brodrick, his sons, and their sons in
turn, the late F. J. McCormick is truly magnificent, giving an even
more subtle portrayal of Irish character than he did as the wily tramp
in Odd Man Out."
