Yes, it's quite sad. Despite loving his performances as the "white collar villain" he seemed to be typecast as playing in a lot of his movies, it's a shame we did not see him in a wider variety of roles throughout his career. His performance in Sling Blade is very memorable and hints at the range he has as an actor, which we sadly did not get to see enough of during his life.

Can anyone recommend any other JT Walsh movies that show a bit more diversity in his acting?

He was great in A Few Good Men and Breakdown.
