RIP you crazy bastard.
From another thread:
I hope this doesn’t come off the wrong way but he was one of those actors who you’d think would never die. And his career went back a long time. I remember spotting him in a 50s western with Alan Ladd (the title escapes me but I know it wasn’t Shane).
The death of a repo man is always intense…
Natural causes, the best way to go.
RIP. :o
Repo Man was a favorite. I can’t believe he was that old since I think of him from the 80s and 90s! Nothing existed before I started paying attention to it. :smack:
heh. Alan Ladd. Sometime around 2000, my mom exclaimed “Alan Ladd is dead? Why wasn’t I informed?!” Um, he died in 1964.
That’s it. He was also in a score of TV westerns from the late 50s and early 60s.
Dang. One night long ago, a buddy and I were sitting in a dive bar by the beach listening to some guy play the blues. I looked over my shoulder and saw a man next to me who wasn’t just sitting in the shadows, more like he was part of the darkness itself, like a part of the wall that had been there since the place was first built. As I looked at him, he took a drag off his cigarette and it lit up every crag and crevice in his face like the last of the sun shining on a cliff. He leaned forward and asked me the time. We spoke a little more about the band and local bars then he went up on stage and played harmonica for a while.
Fantastic life he led.
He was in a movie called Fishtail. Not Moby Dick.
He had a nice (if small) role in the huge ensemble cast of Twin Peaks: The Return; I hadn’t realized that he had to be 90 (or close to it) when that was filmed.
What a career! RIP.
“Castration! DOUBLE castration!”
I had no idea he was that old. RIP bro.
He was the consummate professional and my favorite character actor. We will miss him.
I loved his portrayal of himself on “Two and a Half Man.”
“Is that?”
“It used to be.”
He was in everything, just about. One of all time favorite character actors and more than capable of captivating in wider roles such as Paris, Texas. A good, long life, mostly well-lived it seems. Still…a loss. RIP.
Goodbye, Harry. We’ll always have Paris.
Damn! And just as Twin Peaks finished. He’ll be sorely missed, such a great and unique actor. Lynch especially, besides Stanton’s relatives, must be feeling the pain. He’s lost so many dear friends and long-time collaborators: Margaret Lanterman, Miguel Ferrer, Frank Silva, Jack Nance and now Stanton. BTW to see Stanton in one of his finest roles check out Lynch’s short film The Frenchman and the Cowboy. Stanton is absolutely hilarious in it.
“Ordinary fuckin’ people. I hate 'em.”
One of my favoritest movie lines ever.
RIP Bud.
