Malachy Gerard McCourt (born 20 September 1931) is an Irish-American actor, writer, and politician. He was the 2006 Green Party candidate for governor in New York State, losing to the Democratic candidate Eliot Spitzer. He is the younger brother of author Frank McCourt.
McCourt was born in Brooklyn, New York, the son of Irish parents Angela (Sheehan) and Malachy McCourt. He was raised in Limerick, Ireland. He returned to the United States in 1952. He had four children: Siobhan, Malachy III, Conor (a retired New York City police sergeant and documentary maker), and Cormac, the latter two by his second wife Diana. He also has a stepdaughter, Nina. He was portrayed by Peter Halpin in the film version of his brother's memoir Angela's Ashes. He is also one of the four founding members of the Manhattan Rugby Football Club in 1960. Malachy also appears in Frank McCourt's novel 'Tis.
He has acted on stage, on television and in several movies, including The Molly Maguires (1970) and The January Man (1989). He had appeared on three New York City-based soap operas: Ryan's Hope, Search for Tomorrow, and One Life to Live. He is also known for his annual Christmas-time appearances on All My Children as Father Clarence, a priest who shows up to give inspirational advice to Pine Valley citizens.
Malachi was a Jewish prophet in the Hebrew Bible.
Malachi or Malachy may also refer to:
Saint Patrick (Latin: Patricius; Greek: Πατρίκιος; Proto-Irish: *Qatrikias; Modern Irish: Pádraig [ˈpˠaːd̪ˠɾˠəɟ];Welsh: Padrig) was a 5th-century Romano-British Christian missionary and bishop in Ireland. Known as the "Apostle of Ireland", he is the primary patron saint of Ireland, along with Saints Brigit and Columba. He is also venerated in the Anglican Communion, the Old Catholic Church and in the Orthodox Church as Equal-to-the-Apostles, and The Enlightener of Ireland.
The dates of Patrick's life cannot be fixed with certainty but, on a widespread interpretation, he was active as a missionary in Ireland during the second half of the fifth century. He is generally credited with being the first bishop of Armagh, Primate of Ireland.
According to the Confessio of Patrick, when he was about 16, he was captured by Irish pirates from his home in Great Britain, and taken as a slave to Ireland, looking after animals, where he lived for six years before escaping and returning to his family. After becoming a cleric, he returned to northern and western Ireland. In later life, he served as an ordained bishop, but little is known about the places where he worked. By the seventh century, he had already come to be revered as the patron saint of Ireland.

A conversation with the Irish author and actor.
Bill Reilly introduces Malachy McCourt. Malachy shares his list of words for "drunk". Sober St. Patricks Day 2014 Cathedral High School New York City. Bob Jones Producer.
The Irish, because they had nothing else to do, used language and glorious terms. Question: What about Irish culture makes it so lyrical? Malachy McCourt: I am full of theories that are based on a very liquid foundation, because I used to be a drinker. Before St. Patrick came, there were six invasions of Ireland and I can't think of who they were. There were tribes, the Malaccans, and the Celts. And they brought their languages with them, and somewhere or another melded into whatever was there then, and then the Celts came bring their language with them. Then St. Patrick came bringing Latin with him, then there was the invasions, the constant invasions of the Vikings bringing the Norse languages with them, then Henry II sent over these Normans bringing French language in there and th...
