From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joseph M. Kerrigan (December 16, 1884 - April 29, 1964), better known as J. M. Kerrigan, born in Dublin, Ireland, was a character actor who had very little screen time in movies which he starred as minor roles, such as the "First Drayman" in Merely Mary Ann (1931) with Janet Gaynor. One of his most recognizable minor roles in Gone with the Wind, when he played John Gallegher, the seemly juvial mill owner who whips his convict labor in to "corperation". He also appeared in Walt Disney's famous film version of Jules Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea in a minor role at the beginning of the film.
Despite having small roles, Kerrigan has a "Star" on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6621 Hollywood Blvd.
He died in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California in 1964.
