Career
Corcoran appeared in several (but similar) characters from 1956 to 1960, one of whom bore the name "Moochie." Despite the fact that Corcoran was never a Mouseketeer, he appeared in three Mickey Mouse Club serials, beginning with Adventure in Dairyland, where he played Moochie McCandless, a farmer's son. This was the first of Corcoran's many Disney credits. Montgomery (Moochie) O'Hara) O'Hara's in two Spin and Marty serials, The Further Adventures of Spin and Marty, and The New Adventures of Spin and Marty followed him shortly. Marty and Spin and Marty appeared in two Spin and Marty books.
Only once did Corcoran appear in a Mouseketeer outfit with the word Moochie on his chest. "Mouseketeer" Moochie repeatedly badgers Walt Disney for information about Zorro in Disneyland (1957). Rainbow Road to Oz, a live-action film about characters in the Land of Oz, also appeared on the fourth anniversary show on September 11, 1957. The film, based on L. Frank Baum's Ozma books, would star Darlene Gillespie as Dorothy and Annette Funicello as Ozma, as well as Tommy Kirk and Cormacello as Ozma.
Corcoran played Montgomery "Moochie" Daniels in the 1959 Disney film The Shaggy Dog, extending his fictional Moochie roles. In Moochie of the Little League (1959) and Moochie of Pop Warner Football (1960), both for the Disney anthology film, he appeared as Moochie Morgan. Russ Conway, a character actor, played his father.
In each iteration, Moochie likes to hang out with the older "guys" (big brother Wilby in Spin and Marty's main plot), and he dislikes being treated like the little boy he is. Despite adult warnings (swimming, assisting Wilby, and even switch-hitting), Tom's bravado is a hit, but Moochie's bravado comes right afterward. Corcoran's character has been described as "part All-American boy and part hellion," according to film writer Donald Liebenson.
Adult career
Corcoran received a degree in theatre arts from California State University, Northridge. After this, he returned to Disney this time as an assistant director and producer. Superdad (1973), The Island at the Top of the World (1974), and Pete's Dragon (1977) are among his accomplishments from this period. He appeared on The New Mickey Mouse Club (1977). He was an associate producer on Treasure of Matecumbe (1976), on the sequel to Witch Mountain (1978) and on The North Avenue Irregulars (1979). He co-produced Herbie Goes Bananas (1980) and was the producer of the comedy television series Herbie, the Love Bug (1982) and Zorro and Son (1983). Corcoran's later contributions to Disney included commentaries and interviews on such Disney DVD titles as The Shaggy Dog and Pollyanna.
He was also the first assistant director on a number of non-Disney television shows, including Scarecrow and Mrs. King, Quantum Leap, Profiler, and Karen Sisco; and a number of others. She Wrote that he was named first assistant director, assistant producer, and producer over the course of his film work with Angela Lansbury's Murder series Murder.
