A Career Full of Memorable Roles
Walsh, whose full name was Michael Emmet Walsh, appeared in over 119 feature films and more than 250 television productions. His versatile talent and impressive presence earned him roles in various genres and made him a valued character actor. Ridley Scott cast him in 1982's "Blade Runner" as a hardened cop alongside Harrison Ford. In "Blood Simple", the directorial debut of the Coen brothers in 1984, he played a ruthless private detective and won a Spirit Award trophy for best lead actor. Walsh's film debut was in 1969's "Alice's Restaurant", and he worked alongside big names like Dustin Hoffman, Ryan O'Neal, Barbra Streisand, Steve Martin, and Robert Redford.
Colleagues and companions like Rob Schneider and director Edgar Wright have taken to social media to express their grief and appreciation for Walsh. They remember his great stories, his generosity, and the acting knowledge he accumulated over his long career. Walsh is survived by his niece Meagan Walsh, his nephew Kevin Walsh, and his great-nephews Emmet and Elliot.
