Jack Walsh

The tough-as-nails bounty hunter played by Robert De Niro in the movie Midnight Run (opposite Charles Grodin as the annoying ex-Mob accountant he was taking from NYC to LA), and later played by Christopher McDonald in three TV movies: Midnight Run - Wikipedia

Ah, never saw that movie or the TV show.

Ditto…

Should’ve clarified what being on TV meant. Oh well.

I remember seeing the movie in a theatre, but I don’t remember the character names. I just remember Charles Grodin pretending to be afraid of flying and freaking out on the plane to force them to disembark from the plane taking him back to LA. Never knew about the TV adaptations.

Shall I go again, or is that not good enough?

Funny movie, BTW.
