Eamon Gerard Murphy (14 October 1948 – 26 August 2013) was a Northern Irish film, television and theatre actor.[1]

Life and career

Born in 1948 in Newry, County Down, Northern Ireland, Murphy began his career on stage with the Glasgow Citizens Theatre, and went on to have a long association with the Royal Shakespeare Company, where he was an Associate Artist, appearing in many productions, including playing Hal in Henry IV, which opened the Barbican Theatre. He branched out into television work with roles in Z-Cars, Doctor Who, Minder, Heartbeat, Father Ted, Dalziel and Pascoe and The Bill. He narrated the BBC Radio version of Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings.

His film roles include the pirate and spy "The Nord" in Waterworld, and as the corrupt High Court Judge Faden in Batman Begins.

Onstage, Murphy portrayed Hector in Alan Bennett's The History Boys, a role previously played by Richard Griffiths, in a national tour co-produced by the West Yorkshire Playhouse and Theatre Royal, Bath and directed by Christopher Luscombe.[2]

In addition, he played Salieri in a 2007 production of Amadeus directed by Nikolai Foster.[3] His final Shakespearean lead, having played so many, was King Lear in a production by Ireland's Second Age Theatre, which opened at the Wexford Opera House, directed by Donnacadh O'Briain. Although suffering in 2012 from spinal cord compression due to prostate cancer, Murphy appeared in Glasgow Citizens Theatre's production of Krapp's Last Tape by Samuel Beckett, his final stage appearance.[4]

Murphy died on 26 August 2013 in Cambridge, of prostate cancer, which he had battled for more than two years.[1][4] He was 64.
