M. Emmet Walsh

LAST WALSH

Roger Ebert was big on the “Stanton-Walsh Rule”, which proclaimed “no movie featuring either Harry Dean Stanton or M. Emmet Walsh in a supporting role can be altogether bad.” Though Ebert considered this rule broken when Walsh did “Wild Wild West”, it’s hard to argue with the overall CV, with highlights including the vile detective in Blood Simple and the stern police captain who coaxes Rick Deckard out of retirement in Blade Runner. Despite a craggy, heavyset physique he made it to 88, and among his six pickers are joker points for All these moments will be lost.
