Walter Flanagan (born
October 23, 1967) is an American actor and comic book store proprietor.
He is a relative unknown to all but those familiar with Kevin Smith's "View Askewniverse". Flanagan is a long-time friend of Smith's who used to work at the
Quick Stop with Kevin. According to his book
Silent Bob Speaks, it was Flanagan who first turned Smith onto comic books.
Filmography
- Clerks (1994 in film): In Smith's debut movie, Flanagan was credited with four different roles. Among these were the egg-obsessed guidance counselor, the cigarette protester who bought the cigarettes immediately after the protest, the customer offended by the lewd "jizz mopper" discussion, and the customer to whom Randal said the resident cat's name was "Annoying Customer." He also designed the clown animation that made up the View Askew logo. He also appeared in the Soul Asylum video for "Can't Even Tell", directed by Kevin Smith.
- Mallrats (1995 in film): Flanagan played perhaps his most well-known and most recurring role of Walt Grover the Fanboy. Fanboy is known for accompanying his friend Steve-Dave (Bryan Johnson (filmmaker)) at all times and stoogishly agreeing with everything he has to say with his trademark phrase "You tell 'em, Steve-Dave!" He also appears in an uncredited role as one of Mr. Svenning's (Michael Rooker) assistants who places a podium in the wrong place on a stage. He was also given a credit for being a set production assistant on Mallrats. Also, when Jay and Silent Bob are running away from the mall-cop LaFours, they meet up with Brodie and T.S. who are in the food court and succeed in evading LaFours by ducking under their table. When Jay gets up, he laments: "Damn, that bastard's faster than Walt Flanagan's dog!".
- Chasing Amy (1997 in film): Flanagan did not appear in the theatrical cut, but was in a deleted scene (again as Walt Grover the Fanboy) alongside Johnson's Steve-Dave.
- Dogma (film) (1999 in film): Flanagan appeared as one of the protestors outside of the abortion clinic and later as Fanboy alongside Steve-Dave as a spectator in the church scene.
- Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001 in film): Fanboy and Steve-Dave appeared as two of the audience members who walk out and bash the Bluntman and Chronic movie.
- Clerks: The Animated Series: Flanagan also made an appearance as Fanboy alongside Steve-Dave (played by Bryan Johnson) in three episodes of the Clerks cartoon, all of which never were aired.
- Clerks II (2006 in film): Flanagan appears as a customer, reprising one of his roles from Clerks.

Walt Flanagan has also been the subject of a few inside jokes in the Askewniverse movies. In
Clerks and
Mallrats, respectively, both Randal and Brodie tell bizarre stories of their cousin Walter. Seeing as Randal and Brodie are supposed to be cousins themselves according to Smith, one would only assume that they are speaking of the same cousin Walter.
Also, in
Mallrats, Jay makes the comment "that guy's faster than Walt Flanagan's dog." This comment is expanded upon in the comic book prequel to
Mallrats starring Jay and Silent Bob, where they get Walt's dog high. When provoked, Krypto (the dog) hops the fence, and chases the stoner duo across Leonardo township (passing the YMCA where Julie Dwyer has just met her untimely demise).
According to the
Mallrats commentary, Smith cites Flanagan as being the influence the Brodie character, down to the
Dixie Cup full of soda that the character carries with him everywhere as well as the October birth date. Walt also originated the character of Olaf, seen in Clerks as Silent Bob's cousin from Russia.
He was also referenced by name in issue #3 of the
Green Arrow story "Quiver", which Kevin Smith wrote. .
Other activities
- Walter currently works at Kevin Smith's comic book store, Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash, in Red Bank, New Jersey. He and Johnson (who manages the West Coast Stash) also can be seen manning the "View Askew" booth at various comic conventions around the country.
- He is married and has two daughters.
- His favourite films of all time are the Lethal Weapon series, especially the original and its sequel.
- His "Walt Grover the Fanboy" character was made into one of the many "Inaction figures" toys based on the films (appearing as part of the Mallrats series).
- Walt was featured on Kevin's Smodcast several times, to replace Scott Mosier, when he was absent.
