M. Emmet Walsh made everything better just by showing up in it.
@mangiotto He should have gotten an Oscar for his delivery of “There was a spherical object a-restin’ in the highway”.
@mangiotto One of the finest character actors of the last 50 years! A fucking LEGEND. What a loss. R.I.P. 😢
@mangiotto Truth. First saw him in an episode of Home Improvement roughly three decades ago - whatever the quality of the episode, I never forgot him after that, and he impressed every single time. RIP.
@mangiotto just remembering Walsh, Charles Durning in The Music of Chance w Mandy Patinkin & James Spader, from early 90s, fascinating film
@mangiotto He was fabulous. Reminds me of Stephen Root.
@mangiotto @scottderrickson I watched STRAIGHT TIME for the first time a couple weeks ago. Walsh really shines, or, uh, secretes? Quite an oily character.
@mangiotto @scottderrickson So much so Ebert declared it a rule
