Francis Earl McCarthy (1906-33) was a bit-part player in Hollywood from 1925, when he started in comedy shorts for a Poverty Row studio.
He had a run in 1927-28 playing Hairbreadth Harry in a series of shorts based on the comic strip character. McCarthy was playing solid supporting roles in features at the time of his early death, apparently caused by a heart attack.
McCarthy was uncredited as one of the zeppelin revellers in Madam Satan.
