Good in everything.
Knew how to play sleazy.
Especially great in Straight Time as creepy parole officer.

A lot of appearances over a lot of years.
He steals the show in Blood Simple.

First thing that came to my mind was his smarmy high school coach, a brief role in Ordinary People. Subtle in his sleazy way, all right.

Now I know where I know him from, indeed a fantastic job playing a sleazeball.

Walsh had memorable roles in Fletch as a doctor, and as a ne'er-do-well friend of Chuck Norris' in the first Missing in Action, which of course is the greatest war film of all time.

I'm sure Ive seen him in a lot of stuff. He's one of those actors who you know the face but not the name. At least for myself.

R.I.P... Sad news, of course. He was always a reliable character actor.

I remember Roger Ebert's "Stanton-Walsh Rule", which stated that no movie featuring either Harry Dean Stanton or M. Emmet Walsh in a supporting role can be altogether bad.
