I just saw that. What a life though. I just posted about PARIS, TEXAS this week.
TWO LANE BLACKTOP is one of my all time favorite movies...he had a small part.
One of the few actors that was never in a bad movie (you may retort with DREAM A LITTLE DREAM but you would be wrong). HDS just made movies better.
As tribute to what an open minded actor he was (when accepting roles) probably one his lesser known works but wonderful. RIP HDS, you are a treasure!

one of my favourite character actors ever, really bummed out. I used to think he came out of the womb looking like that - even in his 50s stuff he's got the Harry Dean wiry look down pat. Paris, Texas is still a monster performance imo, and I can't think of anyone else who could've done the role justice as well. RIP.

Here's an Alfred Hitchcock Presents episode from 1960 with Harry that I've always liked - trapped out in the desert and things get weird:

It's amazing how many movies he was in, how many awesome directors he worked with, and, personally, how he always brought charm in everything he was in. Most of my favorite actors are not 'box office names' but they are guys who have range and continuously get work. HDS' career spanned across 7 decades. That is unreal.

I always appreciated his ambition too. Even towards the end of his career he would take risks with roles and do more avant-garde films (citing INLAND EMPIRE as one).

I'm usually the same but I don't feel terrible. His passing is more akin to Hazel going off with the Black Rabbit at the end of WATERSHIP DOWN. What a legacy he left behind.
