Harry Dean Stanton, the actor with a gaunt, bedraggled look who labored in virtual obscurity for decades until a series of roles increased his visibility, including his breakthrough in Wim Wenders Paris, Texas, died of natural causes Friday in Los Angeles. He was 91.
The actor was also known for his roles in Twin Peaks, Big Love, Pretty in Pink, and Repo Man.
He had a high-profile role as manipulative cult leader Roman Grant on HBO polygamy drama Big Love, which ran from 2006-11, and recently appeared as Carl Rodd in the Twin Peaks revival on Showtime.
His most recent film, Lucky, about an atheist who comes to terms with his own mortality, is set to be released by Magnolia on Sept. 29.

I think you got him confused with Dennis Hopper in “Hoosiers”.

He was in a great many great movies - Cool Hand Luke, The Godfather Part II, Alien, Repo Man, Pretty in Pink, Kelly's Heroes - just off the top of my head. And he never seems to put a foot wrong. RIP HDS.

I also loved Strother Martin. He, too, was in COOL HAND LUKE. Heckuva cast in Cool Hand Luke: Newman of course, George Kennedy, Dennis Hopper, Stanton, Strother Martin, Anthony Zerbe, Ralph Waite, Lou D'Antonio, JD Cannon, and Jo Van Vleet.

Loved Repo and original Red Dawn.

Remember his role in “One Magic Christmas” rather that the role in “Alien”; probably due to the diverse characters played.

He was great in a lot of things even when he just had a bit part.
There’s a documentary about him (and his singing). I watched it once, can’t recall if I could recommend it or not but it did get me to watch Cisco Pike which I liked (except the ending).
