Danny Murphy (August 20, 1955 – August 8, 2014) was an American actor. He was known for his roles in There's Something About Mary and in Me, Myself, & Irene. His last movie role was in Hall Pass. Murphy was born in Boston, Massachusetts.
Murphy was a quadriplegic (handicapped) after a diving accident that took place at Martha's Vineyard on August 8, 1974. His friend and director, Peter Farrelly, was with him at the accident.[1]
Murphy criticized Farrelly for not including handicapped people in his movie Dumb & Dumber.[2] This led to Murphy's first movie role in Farrelly's comedy movie Kingpin.
Murphy died in Florida from cancer, aged 58.[2]
