J.T. Walsh – Heart Attack

James Thomas Patrick Walsh or otherwise known as J.T. Walsh in Hollywood had a long list of film credits to his name. He mostly played the bad guy or antagonist in several films at the peak of his career. He was even playfully dubbed by Playboy Magazine as everybody’s favorite scumbag.

Sadly, he passed away in February 1998. He was just 54 at that time. His friends and colleagues, including Jack Nicholson, honored him with kind words and acknowledged the contributions he made. Later on, Nicholson dedicated his Academy Award for As Good as It Gets to J.T. Walsh.
