One of those actors who’s in everything but you never knew his name.

He’s the kind of actor where his older self gives the feeling that his character means serious business

I just watched Blood Simple with my wife a couple of weeks ago. Her first time.

You’ll be missed, Mr. Walsh. I always enjoyed seeing you.

Seems like he played a lot of slightly scummy characters. Good actor, in a lot of stuff.

I mean, he was the swim coach in back to school… also a perfectly cast person for that role. Man I love that movie!
