I remember him from a lot of movies, particularly The Wind and the Lion. Never knew he was Juliette's father. I've seen him in more movies than his daughter.

I renumber him as a comic foil is a few Clint Eastwood movies. These are the kind of supporting actors that made the best Hollywood movies work! Back then. They were not scene stealers but you definitely knew they were there and took notice.

RIP!

I had no idea he was Julia Lewis' dad. I'll always think of him as Orville.

Will never forget him in ‘Salem’s Lot. Totally creepy after he was bitten. RIP, Mr Lewis.

He made High Plains Drifter. Great character actor. Harry Dean Stanton is another great character actor.

Had Juliette Lewis. She got mixed up with Oliver Stone. That never ends well.

I was just shy of 11 years old when that miniseries first aired. My parents let me join them in watching it. I have never been more terrified in my life. I was traumatized for weeks and loved every minute of it!
