ABOUT THE SERIES: The American Cinematheque is honored to pay tribute to the late M. Emmet Walsh, a character actor whose roles were often pivotal to each film he was in, from the corrupt private detective in the Coen brothers first feature, BLOOD SIMPLE, to the cynical cop who recruits Harrison Ford’s Rick Deckard to hunt down rogue cyborgs in the incomparable BLADE RUNNER. Walsh’s talent and skill were of such a high caliber that Roger Ebert declared it impossible for any film featuring him to be entirely bad. Join the American Cinematheque as we honor the life and career of M. Emmet Walsh, one of Hollywood’s most beloved and unforgettable shapeshifters.
