M. Emmet Walsh, a character actor who appeared in everything from Blade Runner to Romeo + Juliet to The X-Files, died at age 88. He began his acting career in the late 1960's and was extremely prolific, with over 200 credits to his name in television, film and voice acting roles.
Emmet came to set with 2 things: a copy of his credits, which was a small-type single spaced double column list of modern classics that filled a whole page, & two-dollar bills which he passed out to the entire crew. “Don’t spend it and you’ll never be broke.” Absolute legend. ♥️ pic.twitter.com/hP8Ml1fBGi

The ultimate character actor? More than a character actor?! A totally unique screen presence whose performances were as fun to watch as his name is to say out loud. RIP to the great M. Emmet Walsh. https://t.co/BdB6Dh015b
