MINI BIO:
Irish, dark-haired purveyor of memorable character studies in British films - usually providing a malicious element in one way or another. His leprechauns looked harmless, and were sometimes comic too, but occasionally insidiously deadly. He began in small roles and worked his way up in films, without ever really deserting the stage. Died from complications following influenza. Father of actress Tara MacGowran.

Jack MacGowran Quotes:
Ignatius Feeney:
[seeing mob approaching] I, I think your in-laws are commin' to pay you visit, Squire darlin'.
King Brian: [original soundtrack] A Phaidrig Óg!
Phadrig Oge: Sea, a thiarna!
King Brian: Faigh an Stradivarius.
Phadrig Oge: Seo chugainn, a thiarna!
Dr. Sampson, the Paleontologist: Oh, it's heading for the Thames. They always made for the freshwater rivers to die. That's where their skeletons have been found - some irrestible instinct to die in the shallows that gave them birth. You know, all my life I hoped this would happen. Ever since childhood I expected it. I knew these creatures were alive somewhere, but I had no proof, scientific proof, and I had to keep it to myself, or my colleagues would have all laughed at me. See, no form of life ceases abruptly, and all those reports of sea serpents - well, what can they be?... The tall, graceful neck of paleosaurus. He can stay underneath the surface for an age, and now he comes to the top.
