Michael Emmet Walsh (March 22, 1935 – March 19, 2024) was an American movie, television, stage, and voice actor. He appeared in over 200 movies and television series.[1] He is known for his roles in The Jerk, Blood Simple, Killer Image, Christmas with the Kranks, Wild Wild West, Blade Runner and Knives Out.[2]
According to Roger Ebert's Stanton-Walsh Rule, "no movie featuring either Harry Dean Stanton or M. Emmet Walsh in a supporting role can be altogether bad." Ebert later conceded that this rule was broken by 1999's Wild Wild West (Walsh) and Dream a Little Dream (Stanton).
Walsh died from cardiac arrest in St. Albans, Vermont, on March 19, 2024, at the age of 88, just three days before his 89th birthday.[3][4]
