J.T. WALSH – HEART ATTACK

J.T. Walsh was a seasoned actor, having starred in critically-acclaimed films such as A Few Good Men, Miracle on 34th Street, Vietnam, and Good Morning, to name a few. He joined the acting class in college at the University of Rhode Island and has an on and off relationship with productions. The celebrity was already nearly 42 years old when he had his first film. Although Walsh was often typecast as the bad guy in movies, he was actually a good person in real life.

Before becoming a full-time actor, he tried a handful of jobs, including working as a junior high school teacher. In a sad turn of events, Walsh succumbed to a heart attack in 1998 while he was on vacation in San Diego. In a tribute published in Time Out New York, writer Andrew Johnston gave credit to Walsh for his acting performances. He was cremated, and the ashes were given to his family.
