Kenneth Welsh

Kenneth Welsh, CM (March 30, 1942 – May 5, 2022) was a Canadian film and television actor (sometimes credited as Ken Welsh). He was known to Twin Peaks fans as the multi-faceted villain Windom Earle, and had more recently played the father of Katharine Hepburn (Cate Blanchett) in Martin Scorsese's The Aviator. In 1984 he was nominated for a Genie Award as Best Actor for his portrayal of Reno Colt in the film "Reno and the Doc", written and directed by Charles Dennis. In 1997 Welsh directed Dennis in the latter's play "SoHo Duo" at the West Bank Theatre in New York City. Welsh was born in Edmonton, Alberta to a father who worked for the Canadian National Railway. He grew up in Alberta and studied drama at school. He later moved to Montreal and attended the National Theatre School. Following graduation, he auditioned for the Stratford Festival in Ontario and then spent the first seven years of his career on stage. Welsh has portrayed historical figures including Thomas E. Dewey, Colin Thatcher, Harry S. Truman (twice), Thomas Edison, James "Scotty" Reston, General Harry Crerar and James Baker. He has made guest appearances on the acclaimed TV series Due South and Slings and Arrows. In 2003, he was made a Member of the Order of Canada. His role as the Vice-President of the United States in the 2004 environmental disaster film The Day After Tomorrow sparked some controversy due to his physical resemblance to Dick Cheney, who at the time was the real Vice President. Director Roland Emmerich later confirmed that he deliberately chose Welsh for that very reason. Emmerich stated that the character of the Vice-President in the film was intended to be a not-so-subtle criticism of the environmental policies of the Presidency of George W. Bush.

Kenneth Welsh, CM (30. März 1942 – 5. Mai 2022) war ein kanadischer Film- und Fernsehschauspieler (manchmal auch unter dem Namen Ken Welsh bekannt). Twin-Peaks-Fans kannten ihn als den vielschichtigen Bösewicht Windom Earle. Zuletzt spielte er den Vater von Katharine Hepburn (Cate Blanchett) in Martin Scorseses „Aviator“. 1984 wurde er für seine Darstellung von Reno Colt in dem von Charles Dennis geschriebenen und inszenierten Film „Reno and the Doc“ für einen Genie Award als Bester Schauspieler nominiert. 1997 inszenierte Welsh Dennis’ Theaterstück „SoHo Duo“ am West Bank Theatre in New York City. Welsh wurde in Edmonton, Alberta, als Sohn eines Angestellten der Canadian National Railway geboren. Er wuchs in Alberta auf und besuchte dort die Schauspielschule. Später zog er nach Montreal und studierte an der National Theatre School. Nach seinem Abschluss sprach er für das Stratford Festival in Ontario vor und verbrachte die ersten sieben Jahre seiner Karriere auf der Bühne. Welsh verkörperte historische Persönlichkeiten wie Thomas E. Dewey, Colin Thatcher, Harry S. Truman (zweimal), Thomas Edison, James „Scotty“ Reston, General Harry Crerar und James Baker. Er hatte Gastauftritte in den gefeierten Fernsehserien „Due South“ und „Slings and Arrows“. 2003 wurde er zum Mitglied des Order of Canada ernannt. Seine Rolle als Vizepräsident der Vereinigten Staaten in dem Umweltkatastrophenfilm „The Day After Tomorrow“ aus dem Jahr 2004 sorgte aufgrund seiner Ähnlichkeit mit Dick Cheney, dem damaligen Vizepräsidenten, für Kontroversen. Regisseur Roland Emmerich bestätigte später, dass er Welsh genau aus diesem Grund bewusst ausgewählt hatte. Emmerich erklärte, dass die Figur des Vizepräsidenten im Film als nicht ganz so subtile Kritik an der Umweltpolitik der Präsidentschaft von George W. Bush gedacht war.
