J. T. WALSH

J.T. Walsh was discovered by a director in 1974 and began to engage in off-Broadway performances. In 1984, he was a big success in David Mamet’s “Glengarry Glen Ross” by David Mamet on Broadway. James Thomas Patrick Walsh will remain evergreen in the minds of movie lovers for his outstanding roles in A Few Good Men, Sling Blade, Vietnam, Good Morning and The Negotiator among others.

Playboy magazine nicknamed him ‘Everybody’s favorite scumbag’ due to his constant portrayal as a bad guy. But that’s not to say he was a bad guy in real life. In less than ten years, he starred in two dozen movies. He was married to Susan West. Sadly, Walsh suffered a fatal heart attack on February 27, 1998 at the age of 54. He was never a victim of bankruptcy and his insurance plans were well in place.
