You'd know him if you saw him.

Oh, sure - that guy!
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!
Will never forget him in ‘Salem’s Lot. Totally creepy after he was bitten. RIP, Mr Lewis.

Great character actor. I had no idea he was Juliette Lewis’ father.
He was great in “High Plains Drifter” .....
I especially enjoyed his role as Gerald McRaney.
“Lift the car, Clyde”
Had no idea they were related. Great actor.
Peace and prayers to his family.
Oh wow. I loved that guy.
RIP, great actor that came across as a good man.

He was a great story teller too. I have his CD Celestrial Navigations. You can hear his stories on youtube.
First James Best, now Geoffrey Lewis...who’s next for the three?
Very good actor. He played a great villain in High Plains Drifter. Had no idea Juliette Lewis was his daughter.
RIP.
Never knew he was Juliette’s father. His filmography provides a great list of old TV series. RIP Mr. Lewis.
