Raoul Walsh (11. mart 1887 – 31. decembar 1980) bio je američki filmski režiser i glumac, poznat kao jedan od osnivača losanđeleske Filmske akademije (AMPAS), ali i po izuzetno dugoj i plodnoj karijeri tokom prvih pet decenija postojanja Hollywooda, tokom koje je razvio reputaciju majstora akcionog i pustolovnog žanra.

Biografija

Rodio se u New Yorku kao Albert Edward Walsh, u porodici koja je bila prijateljstvom povezana sa glumačkim klanom Barrymore. Za njegovu karijeru je, međutim, bio važniji pustolovni duh, koga je iskazao s 15 godina kada je pobjegao iz kuće i neko vrijeme proveo na američkom Zapadu radeći kao kauboj. Nakon što se vratio kući i završio koledž, godine 1909. je započeo glumačku karijeru u kazalištu. Ubrzo ga je angažirao D.W. Griffith, koga su ispočetka zanimale prije svega Walshove jahačke sposobnosti, ali je ubrzo prepoznao i talent za glumu (pa mu je 1915. povjerio ulogu Johna Wilkesa Bootha u znamenitom epu Rađanje nacije), ali i režiju. Godine 1914. je poslan u ratni Meksiko da za Pancha Villu snimi propagandno ostvarenje The Life of General Villa; u uspješnom, ali danas izgubljenom režijskom debiju, Walsh je tumačio ulogu Ville.

1920-ih je Walsh nastavio karijeru kao režiser, te je bio zaslužan za neka od klasičnih nijemih ostvarenja kao Bagdadski lopov i What Price Glory? Pokušaj da se vrati ispred kamera, započet nastupom u Sadie Thompson, je prekinut bizarnom nesrećom prilikom snimanja zvučnog debija In Old Arizona. Zec koji je iznenada skočio kroz prozor njegovog automobila mu je slučajno iskopao oko, te je Walsh do kraja života nosio povez. Nakon toga se posvetio isključivo režiji. Njegov vjerojatno najplodniji i najuspješniji period je bio angažman za Warner Bros. krajem 1930-ih i 1940-ih, kada je snimio klasična ostvarenja, a posebno plodnu suradnju imao je s Errolom Flynnom.
