  1. No movie containing him or Harry Dean Stanton could be entirely bad.

  2. Just rewatched *Raising Arizona* a few weeks ago and was reminded of all the great talent in that movie including Walsh, who was a classic. RIP sir.

  3. “Christ, Deckard, you look almost as bad as that skin job you left on the sidewalk”.

  4. “You know the score. You’re not cop, you’re little people”

  5. Sad day for every one besides the cans. This man hated oil cans.

  6. Responsible for one of my most used phrases – mother scratcher

  7. And my favorite, Harry and the Hendersons. Rest in peace!

  8. Wow. I didn’t realize he was still alive. At least until today that is.

  9. A lovely and talented man. His eyes, his teeth, his hair. He was real in a mire of surrealistic Hollywood garbage. Rest in peace. Just a real man.

  10. A legendary character actor. He always left an impression no matter how small the roll.

  11. I most remember him as Jill’s dad in home improvement. Great character actor, his resume is insane. RIP

  12. I remember a time when I couldn’t scroll through the cable channels without seeing this man’s face. He was a fantastic character actor and he will be missed.

  13. I remember him as diving coach Turnbull in ‘Back to school’. RIP sir

  14. *We’re not putting anybody off out here in the middle of nowhere. Especially if they’re HALF NAKED*

  15. I need ya, Deck. This is a bad one, the worst yet. I need the old blade runner, I need your magic.

  16. He seemed to star in so many movies and shows, from Tales of the Crypt to Tim & Eric’s Bedtime Stories.

    I best remember him as Jill’s father in Home Improvement.

  17. This is so weird, I literally just finished watching Blade Runner for the first time.

  18. So I’m shocked to discover I am apparently the only person who knew this guy from Tim and Eric’s Bedtime Stories. More specifically he’s the detective who investigates Bob Odenkirk’s podiatrist character and discovers he’s been eating the toes he removes from his patients.

  19. Dam. He was one of my favorite voices on Adventure Time! Will miss the Cosmic Owl. 🙁
