On screen, Magee was often typecast as eccentric or menacing characters in low budget (and low quality) horror movies, which he said were his way of [[MoneyDearBoy paying the bills]] to support his theatre career and occasional appearances in art films. He is probably remembered by most for his role in Creator/StanleyKubrick's ''Film/AClockworkOrange'' as writer Frank Alexander, who's assaulted by Alex and his Droogs, ends up paralyzed from the waist down, and plots his revenge.
