Jason Schwartzman’s been a totemic figure so long it can be hard to separate player from part. Beginning as idol of teenage rebellion Max Fischer in Wes Anderson’s “Rushmore,” the actor’s spent a quarter-century inhabiting numerous types — stuffy writers, disgruntled husbands, mourning widows, drug addicts, a bumping Pi on HBO’s perpetually ill-appreciated “Bored to Death” — that have doubled as progressions of professional versatility and real-life aging.

Like Jean-Pierre Léaud before him, Schwartzman is seemingly now cast for the weight his name and visage can carry. This sequence continues with “Between the Temples,” which finds him playing Benjamin, a cantor whose mourning for his deceased wife finds focus in sessions with Carla (Carol Kane), a fellow widow who decides now’s high time to receive the Bat Mitzvah she missed 60-or-so years prior. A brilliantly shaped scriptment from Nathan Silver and C. Mason Wells makes ideal scene...

Actor M. Emmet Walsh has passed away.

Per TheWrap, it's been revealed that M. Emmet Walsh died on Tuesday, March 19, at Kerbs Memorial Hospital in St. Albans, Vermont. His passing was confirmed by his manager, Sandy Joseph, who verified that Walsh died of cardiac arrest. Walsh was 88 years old.

Walsh was born on March 22, 1935. He made his acting debut in 1969's Alice's Restaurant, starting a career that would see him take on over 200 roles over the next five decades. The actor would follow this up with roles in movies like Midnight Cowboy and Serpico before landing more recognizable roles in 1977's Slap Shot and 1978's Straight Time. Walsh would also pick up a memorable role in the classic Steve Martin comedy The Jerk in 1979.

Things aren't looking too buono for the newest club sauce boy on Tim and Eric's Bedtime Stories. He's minding his own business, slaving away over a hot stove to make some quintessentially appetizing red sauce (look at that sharp olive-oil-pouring technique!) when the nicely coiffed owner unexpectedly tells him to double the recipe for that night's event, or else he'll blow his brains out and create a Pollock-esque bloody aesthetic on the kitchen walls. Well, that escalated rapidamente. Find out how he fared in this exclusive clip from the holiday special, which will be airing on Adult Swim on December 4.
