Malachy McCourt, the Irish American author, barkeep, and actor known for his long-running role on the soap opera Ryan's Hope, died Monday in Manhattan. He was 92.
爱尔兰裔美国作家、酒吧老板和演员马拉奇·麦考特因出演肥皂剧《瑞安的希望》而闻名，于周一在曼哈顿去世。享年92岁。

His wife, Diana McCourt, confirmed the news to the New York Times. McCourt himself told the Times last year that he had a heart condition, multiple kinds of cancer, and muscular degeneration.
他的妻子戴安娜·麦考特向《纽约时报》证实了这一消息。麦考特本人去年告诉《纽约时报》，他患有心脏病、多种癌症和肌肉退化。

McCourt's childhood was recounted in his brother Frank's Pulitzer Prize-winning memoir Angela's Ashes, which detailed their mother's attempt to raise the four of their surviving seven children in poverty in Limerick, Ireland. McCourt also wrote his own memoirs: 1998's Monk Swimming, which picks up where Angela’s Ashes leaves off, and 2000's Singing My Him Song, about fatherhood. He was the oldest surviving child of his seven siblings (Frank McCourt died in 2009).
麦考特的兄弟弗兰克的回忆录《安吉拉的灰烬》讲述了他的童年，这本书获得了普利策奖。书中详细描述了他们的母亲在爱尔兰利默里克的贫困中抚养幸存的七个孩子中的四个。麦考特还写了自己的回忆录:1998年的《游泳和尚》继承了《安吉拉的灰烬》的遗作;2000年的《唱我的他之歌》讲述了父亲的角色。他是他七个兄弟姐妹中最年长的孩子(弗兰克·麦考特于2009年去世)。

A fixture in the New York Irish community, McCourt founded an eponymous pub, Malachy's, on Third Avenue in Manhattan. Actor Richard Harris was a close friend and worked as a bartender there for a time. McCourt also ran for governor of New York in 2006.

Though he was best known for his recurring role as the bartender Kevin on Ryan's Hope, McCourt appeared in numerous films and television shows, including The Other Guys, The Devil's Own, Brewster's Millions, The Molly Maguires, Starman, One Life To Live, Search For Tomorrow, Another World, Oz, Tales of the Unexpected, and Remember WENN.
虽然他最出名的角色是在《瑞恩的希望》中饰演的调酒师凯文，但他也出演了许多电影和电视节目，包括《其他人》、《魔鬼家族》、《布鲁斯特的百万》、《莫莉·马奎尔》、《星际人》、《一生一世》、《寻找明天》、《另一个世界》、《绿野仙踪》、《意想不到的故事》和《记住WENN》。

McCourt was born Sept. 20, 1931, in Brooklyn, before relocating to Limerick with his parents and siblings. In 1952, he returned to New York at 20 and launched a varied career that included stints as a writer, actor, talk show host, bar owner, and more.
麦考特于1931年9月20日出生在布鲁克林，之后随父母和兄弟姐妹搬到了利默里克。1952年，20岁的他回到纽约，开始了各种各样的职业生涯，包括作家、演员、脱口秀主持人、酒吧老板等等。

He appeared on 217 episodes of the ABC soap opera from 1975 to 1989.
出演《赖安的希望》是他演艺生涯中最多产的时期。他饰演的凯文是他最好的朋友约翰尼·瑞恩(伯尼·巴罗饰)酒吧的讲述者和酒保，同时也是他的姻亲迪莉娅(艾琳·克里斯汀饰)的眼中钉。从1975年到1989年，他出演了217集美国广播公司的肥皂剧。

后来，麦考特在HBO的电视剧《Oz》中扮演天主教牧师，并在2003年的内战史诗《众神与将军》中饰演弗朗西斯·普雷斯顿·布莱尔。
