Based on the picture on the left I knew I had seen M. Emmet Walsh in something not too long ago but could not put my finger on it. Went to Wiki and while scrolling thru all of his works it hit me. Christmas with the Kranks. He was pretty cool in that. RIP

Based on the picture on the left I knew I had seen M. Emmet Walsh in something not too long ago but could not put my finger on it. Went to Wiki and while scrolling thru all of his works it hit me. Christmas with the Kranks. He was pretty cool in that. RIP A great actor! He was in two of my all-time favorite movies: Ordinary People and Camp Nowhere (The summer after eighth grade I watched that movie every day for ten days straight) In Camp Nowhere he played Detective T.R. Polk who was on the verge of retirement with a perfect job record. He had one final case which involved tracking down Christopher Lloyd's character who had reneged on the majority of his payments on a Caribbean yellow Gremlin. As Walsh said in the film: "No pish, yellow coupe is going to keep me out of the Hall Of Fame." RIP, Emmet and thanks for all the great performances over the years.
