  • Contest: 2023 Fictitious Contributor Round 1
  • TV Show/Movie Appeared: Blue Chips (1994)
  • Actor/Actress: J.T. Walsh
  • Why you should vote:: Sometimes it just makes sense to vote for good character actors and what they bring to the table.
  • Why you should not vote:: It is just a booster after all.
  • Ripping off from Wikipedia (which quoted Leonard Maltin), J.T. Walsh made a living as a character actor who made his living playing “quietly sinister white-collar sleazeballs”; which is exactly what we got when he played “Happy” the ironically named Western University Basketball booster who was showing Pete Bell (Nick Nolte) who really ran the program. We can’t say that this was the meatiest of roles for Walsh, but we just wanted to pay homage to someone who did not always get his due.
