Die GAS PUMPERRRR

(that one quick scene of him running after Navin is burned into my mind, such greatness/cartoonishness)

Saw him on Broadway a few years ago in To Kill a Mockingbird.

One of the best character actors ever.  He really never stopped working for the last 50 years, has a credit for almost every year.

Blood Simple show stealer.  Right up there with Strother Martin in the annoyingly loquacious but very articulate  high, whiny Southern / Texas drawl voice type.

Nasty motherfucker driving an old yellow VW true beetle. I mean it was old in ‘85. He tried hard to murder Frances McDormand but she got him in the end. Coen casting was never better.

RIP. He witnessed Thornton Melon achieve sports greatness.

Hudsucker Industries is a less interesting machine shop now.

He’s got a sandwich in one hand, and the fucking head in the other.

Shit, I was thinking of Joe Walsh.  My apologies.  

Blood Simple is still my favorite Coen movie, and he owned it.

Roger Ebert had the "Stanton-Walsh Rule," which states that "no movie featuring either Harry Dean Stanton or M. Emmet Walsh in a supporting role can be altogether bad."

^

He was interviewed or maybe just wrote the article himself in Esquire after he got sick about certain character actors that just made him feel better when they appeared on camera.  He would make it a point later in this career not to know, given the internet, who was going to be in a film other than who could obviously see from the theater poster top of bill.  And he said something about them and one other guy whose name I can't remember.  But Yeah, Walsh was one of 'em and for me too.  If we're honest, most 'actors' are pretty people saying words set to running photography.  But if you think about it, most of Emmet's roles...he played it the exact same way most of the time.  But it worked in almost every single film/show for some strange reason.  There won't be many more like him, RIP...
