The series has received critical acclaim season after season and continues to push the envelope, captivating audiences worldwide. Walsh has tackled some of Hollywood's most challenging roles, making him one of the most sought-after actors today.

He stars in The Stepfather opposite Sela Ward. Writer J.S. Cardone and director Nelson McCormick of the box-office success Prom Night teamed up again for the horror project. A remake for the 1987 classic starring Terry O'Quinn, the film follows a seemingly normal man who wants the perfect family and chooses to eliminate his wife and child when they don't measure up.

Walsh was also seen in the off-beat romantic comedy Just Add Water opposite Danny DeVito, Justin Long and Jonah Hill.

After his 10th birthday, the family settled in Annandale, Va., a suburb of Washington, D.C. He made his professional acting debut while still in high school, appearing with prestigious theater companies at the Arena Stage and the Studio Theatre.

During his summers, he performed with the Heritage Repertory Company, appearing in such classics as A Midsummer Night's Dream, Curse of the Starving Class, Romeo and Juliet, Death of a Salesman and Our Town. He made his film debut in John Boorman's Where the Heart Is.
