    RIP Harry Dean Stanton

    Great underrated character actor who appeared in an eclectic set of films. My friends constantly quote Repo Man.

    My first thoughts on hearing this news as well. Many good quotes from that flick, most can't be posted on this message board.

    Let's go do some crimes.
    Let's go Duke!

    His box office numbers must rival James Earl Jones!

    I don't want no commies in my car... no Christians either.
    Why are you wasting time here when you could be wasting it by listening to the latest episode of the DBR Podcast?

    He did an episode of Two and a Half Men, playing himself, along with Sean Penn and Elvis Costello. Hilarious!

    IMDb has him at 199 film credits. He's been in film-TV since 1954. Remarkable.

    His early performances were almost unnoticeable. When his face began to get craggy and weary, his fame took off.

    I think I first observed him in Gunsmoke on TV in the 50's and 60's. Played various parts thereafter and while more than a bit player, he was no headliner.

    He was a kind of staff actor in a number of westerns and war movies in the early 70s. Familiar, yet not known by name. Might have been 1972's Cisco Pike where I marked his name. Again noted him in 1975, in the Mitchum version of Farewell My Lovely playing a detective. He worked steadily in the 70's and exploded to become a headliner in 1979's Alien. From then on he was in high demand. The critics loved him in everything he did. He was great every time out. And he still has a performance coming out as the title character in Lucky, to be released on September 29.

    Fantastic career. Mostly known today for The Green Mile and Big Love.

    He won very few awards. But moviegoers approved of everything he did.
