M. Emmet Walsh, the character actor known for his roles in films such as “Blade Runner” and “Knives Out,” has died. He was 88.
Walsh’s longtime manager, Sandy Joseph, confirmed to The Post that Walsh died Tuesday of cardiac arrest at Northwestern Medical Center in St. Albans, Vermont.
When asked about his career, Walsh said, per Joseph’s release, “I approach each job thinking it might be my last so it better be the best work possible. I want to be remembered as a working actor. I’m being paid for what I’d do for nothing.”

One of those actors, where you’ll know the face, if not the name.

Yeah, he stole the show. Not bad in “Slap Shot, either. And he made the most of very little screen time in “Raising Arizona.”
RIP

Just read that J.T. Walsh died 26 years ago at the age of 54 from a heart attack.

One of those actors like Harry Dean Stanton who improved every picture they were in, no matter how small the role.
To: nickcarraway
He must have appeared in over one hundred flicks the last forty years. He had a good long career. RIP.
