This guy – this Tracey Walter – is everywhere. My first recollection of him came from his role as Cookie in City Slickers. But I knew that he had been in other things that I couldn’t recall: for instance, as Balak in Conan the Destroyer, Bob the Goon in Batman, and Lamar the coronor in Silence of the Lambs. Oh, and there were over 100 others: Philadelphia, Duplex, Midnight Run, Wild at Heart, and Erin Brockovich, for example. Plus on TV: WKRP in Cincinnati, Taxi, Moonlighting, Wings, Monk, etcetera, etcetera.
So even though he was on my ‘maybe’ list, seeing Tracy Walter in person at the Hollywood Show in Burbank on Saturday, April 2, 2011, reminded me of all of those great parts that he had played. And the price was just right: $20 for a signed photo which would included a picture with him.
He was usually a wild card in the movies, but in real life, it was really cool to meet Tracy Walter.
