Netflix’s My Life With the Walter Boys ended its sophomore season not with a dramatic twist, but with a quiet, heartfelt moment: a tribute card honoring Todd Giroux, a beloved producer who passed away on July 4, 2025.

As Sam Smith’s haunting “Fire on Fire” played over the closing credits of the finale, the screen faded to black with the words: “In memory of Todd Giroux.” For longtime TV fans, his name may already be familiar. For others, it was a moment of curiosity and a reminder of just how many unsung heroes shape the shows we love.

Who Was Todd Giroux?

Todd Giroux was more than just a name in the credits. He was a multi-hyphenate talent in Hollywood who worked tirelessly behind the camera to bring stories to life.

Over his decades-long career, Giroux racked up an impressive 35 producer credits, with projects ranging from cult favorites to buzzy Netflix originals. According to IMDb, his credits include Warrior Nun, The Order, Van Helsing, Wu Assassins, and Animal Control. On My Life With the Walter Boys, he served as an associate producer on Season 1’s 10 episodes, helping establish the tone and world of the series.

But producing was just one part of his craft. Giroux also worked in editorial departments on 70 projects and earned 59 production manager credits, making him one of those rare, versatile figures who could shepherd a project from the cutting room to the screen.

Why Did ‘My Life With the Walter Boys’ Pay Tribute to Him?

The tribute at the end of Season 2 wasn’t a casual gesture it was deeply personal. Giroux’s fingerprints were all over My Life With the Walter Boys, and his influence carried into Season 2, even though his official credits were tied to Season 1.

In his obituary, Giroux was remembered as “a gifted post producer, supervisor, and producer… humble about his many accomplishments.” He founded his own company, Robot Post Media Services Inc., and won 11 industry awards from 11 nominations.

But beyond accolades, colleagues remembered him for his warmth, wit, and the mentorship he extended to young creatives. That human touch is exactly why a show like Walter Boys a story rooted in family, love, and resilience felt like the perfect place to honor him.

The Projects That Shaped His Legacy

To understand Giroux’s legacy, it helps to look at the shows he shaped. His projects spanned genres sci-fi, fantasy, drama, comedy but they all carried a sense of imagination and ambition.

When Hollywood loses someone like Giroux, the ripple effect isn’t always visible to audiences. But for those inside the industry, his absence is profound. Shows like Walter Boys and the dozens of others he touched stand as proof of his craft.
