As a top-notch, character actor, you weren't afraid to roam all genres, from westerns like "Ride the Whirlwind" and the "Missouri Breaks" to prime dramas like "Cool Hand Luke"; "Dillinger"; "Wise Blood"; "Cockfighter"; "Lucky"; and the poignant "Paris, Texas". To fans of the fantastic and the surreal, you'll be best remembered for your roles in "Alien" (as good ol' Brett); "Escape from New York" (as the crafty Brain); "Alien Autopsy"; "Christine"; "Death Watch"; "The Green Mile"; "Marvel's Avengers"; "One Magic Christmas" (as the angelic Gideon); "Rango"; "Repo Man"; "Twin Peaks"; "Inland Empire" and "Wild At Heart".
There was only ever one Harry Dean Stanton, and the cinema has never been the same (or better) for it.
