Patrick George Magee (né McGee, 31 March 1922 – 14 August 1982) was an Irish actor.[2] He was noted for his collaborations with playwrights Samuel Beckett and Harold Pinter, sometimes called "Beckett's favourite actor,"[3] as well as creating the role of the Marquis de Sade in the original stage and screen productions of Marat/Sade.
Known for his distinctive voice, he also appeared in numerous horror films and in two Stanley Kubrick films[4] – A Clockwork Orange (1971) and Barry Lyndon (1975) – and three Joseph Losey films – The Criminal (1960), The Servant (1963) and Galileo (1975). He was a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company from 1964 to 1970.
Critic Antonia Quirke posthumously described him as "a presence so full of strangeness and charisma and difference and power,"[5] while scholar Conor Carville wrote that Magee was an "avant-garde bad-boy" and "very important and unjustly forgotten figure who represents an important aspect of the cultural ferment of the 1960s and 1970s in Britain."[6]
