M. Emmet Walsh, a veteran character actor who appeared in more than 150 films including “Blade Runner,” “Blood Simple” and “Knives Out” and played Dermot Mulroney’s dad in “My Best Friend’s Wedding,” has died.
His manager Sandy Joseph confirmed that he died Tuesday in Vermont. He was 88.
In Ridley Scott’s 1982 “Blade Runner,” Walsh was Harrison Ford’s LAPD boss, while he played the vicious private detective Loren Visser in the Coen brothers’ directing debut “Blood Simple.” Wearing a sickly yellow suit, Pauline Kael said he was the film’s “only colorful performer. He lays on the loathsomeness, but he gives it a little twirl — a sportiness.”
His other roles included the corrupt sheriff in the 1986 horror film “Critters” and a small role as a security guard in “Knives Out.”
Walsh appeared in a string of memorable 1970s films, including “Little Big Man” with Dustin Hoffman, “What’s Up, Doc?” with Ryan O’Neal and Barbra Streisand,...

Robert Morse, the impish actor and singer who found early fame and success as the Tony Award-winning star of Broadway’s How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying and enjoyed a late-career second act as an eccentric elder statesman of advertising in AMC’s Mad Men, died yesterday. He was 90.
His death was confirmed by son Charlie to Los Angeles’ ABC affiliate Wednesday night, and was announced on Twitter this morning by Larry Karaszewski, a writer, producer and VP on the board of governors for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
“My good pal Bobby Morse has passed away at age 90,” Karaszewski wrote. “A huge talent and a beautiful spirit. Sending love to his son Charlie & daughter Allyn. Had so much fun hanging with Bobby over the years – filming People v Oj & hosting so many screenings.”

Betty White, who died Dec. 31 at age 99, was perhaps the greatest comic tactician in the history of television.
That’s distinct from comic acting, although White was, of course, a very fine actor. What set White apart was her unerring ability to find not just the joke, but the thing behind the joke: It was as if a special internal radar guided her toward the deflation of vanity. On “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” for instance, her sunny domestic goddess Sue Ann Nivens was purposefully oblivious, and White wrung delicious humor out of Sue Ann’s unwillingness or inability to see that not everyone in the room was charmed by her. And on “The Golden Girls,” her Rose Nylund was a variation on the form: A clueless naif who lived perpetually under the mistaken impression that she was just on the verge of figuring things out.

Actress and comedian Yvette Nicole Brown appeared on Rolling Stone‘s The First Time to talk about her new role in the Audible fiction podcast Vroom Vroom, opposite renowned voice actor John Dimaggio.
“The first time I ever did voiceover work was in a show called Pound Puppies,” Brown said. “Hasbro had a network for a while called The Hub, and we did Pound Puppies around the same time that My Little Pony came out. One succeeded, and the other one kind of went away,” she added with a laugh.

Emmy-winning writer Gordon Bressack, best known for his work on ’90s animated classics “Tiny Toon Adventures,” “Pinky and the Brain” and “Animaniacs,” died Friday following several health issues. He was 68.
His son, filmmaker James Cullen Bressack, announced the news in a statement posted to Instagram. A specific cause of death was not given.
“You were my mentor, my writing partner, my hero, my best friend, but most of all you were my Dad,” Bressack’s statement said in part. “Thank you for everything you taught me. Thank you for being a story teller and instilling a love of stories into me. Thank you for making me watch movie after movie when i was little and asking me questions about them. Thank you for telling me I was going to be a filmmaker before I ever even knew what that meant. You meant the world to me, you always have and you always will.

Exorcism movies don’t get anymore audacious (or fun) than J.T. Petty’s latest, Hellbenders 3D, which arrives on VOD platforms everywhere today. The story follows a group of priests known as the “Hellbound Saints” whose jobs it is to rid the world of demonic forces, even if it means they must drag them down to hell themselves.
During a recent press day for the horror/comedy hybrid, Daily Dead spoke with Petty and the film’s co-stars, Clancy Brown and Clifton Collins Jr., about their experiences working on the project, what inspired Petty to take such an off-beat take on what’s usually a very traditional world, and much more about Hellbenders 3D.
Daily Dead: This is definitely one of the more unique exorcism films I’ve experienced. What inspired the story and your approach to creating the Hellbound Saints?

NBC has decided that its comedy "Community" -- about a study group composed of adult misfits in an equally off-kilter community college -- won't return to the airwaves until Feb. 7. Each year, the show films special Halloween and Christmas-themed episodes, which now won't be seen until midwinter or even spring.
But, in the meantime, the denizens of Greendale take a break on the show's sets at Paramount Studios in Hollywood to share their personal holiday traditions and/or favorite foods.
Jim Rash (Dean Pelton; also a voice talent in the animated "Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated"; Academy Award winner for co-writing the screenplay for the George Clooney movie "The Descendants"): "We used to make gingerbread houses (growing up in North Carolina). It's a sugar nightmare. I remember doing it with a bunch of kids in the neighborhood, like Easter eggs."
As to what might happen if he made one for the "Community" cast,...

TVLine is reporting that Pamela Adlon will be guest starring on the fourth season of Parenthood. The Californication actress will be playing Marlana, a woman who moves into the home next door to The Luncheonette and complains about the amount of noise coming from the recording studio. Eventually, she files a complaint with the city. The character is described as being "acerbic" and will be in the Braverman universe for at least two episodes. There's no word, however, on when she'll make her first appearance.
The Luncheonette has been a source of a fair amount of conflict in its time on Parenthood, having housed the beginnings of Adam's "affair" with Rachel, Amber's latest poor life choice (the musician from the premiere), and a whole lot of arguing between Adam and Crosby. It was the thing that Adam pinned his post-corporate livelihood on and something that Crosby could share with Jabbar,...

NBC is making us wait until nearly the end of October for new episodes of Community, perhaps wanting to give new showrunners David Gurarascio and Moses Port plenty of time to get things right (hope, people!). For the show's stars, however, class is just around the corner. So before things get too busy, we caught up with series star Yvette Nicole Brown for a quick chat about what she's been up to during her hiatus, how she's been dealing with Dan Harmon's departure, her tough love attitude on Twitter, and her obsessions with "Call Me Maybe" and The Newsroom. Sadly, talk did not turn to the Muppets, but we did get in a couple of questions about … Pound Puppies.So when do you officially head back on set to Community?We go back August 13. That's when we're back to that daily grind. It's a target coming right at me.
