We're trying to build a monument to show that we were here
It won't be visible through the air
And there won't be any shade to cool the monument to prove that we were here. - Gene Parsons, 1973
Damn! A favorite of mine. Twin Peaks must have been (at least close to) his last work. He was also a musician.
RIP.

R.I.P. ... liked him a lot in a variety of roles, but he was particularly effective as Roman in "Big Love".

A giant. He could play any role.
I would not have guessed he was in his 90s.

I forgot he was in Escape From New York. He was also great in Alien, and best of all, Repo Man.
A great actor. First film that came to mind for me was "Cool Hand Luke".
Great actor, never knew he was in Godfather 2, and also loved him in Repo Man. One of a kind, RIP.
RIP..... Dug him in Paris, Texas, Rancho Deluxe, and Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman.

Here's a link to the NY Times obit. I'd try to post the text, but there are a couple of pictures here you'll want to see, especially one of him, Nastassia Kinski, and Wim Wenders. I've actually never seen "Paris, Texas" so I guess I need to.

Actually Paris, Texas is the only movie with him I've seen.
You've never seen "Alien?"

I don't see much movies. I only saw Paris, Texas, because someone had thought of this for our first date.

Well, there goes an actor who always looked as though he was about to go any time. A fine career.

Goodbye and Hello. A man who kept his spirit to the end.
Always loved this guy. Paris, Texas. Repo Man, Alien...Twin Peaks this season. Thanks Harry. RIP.
RIP. I only remember him from Alien. Great film.
He had a great part in an episode of Two and a Half Men in a gathering with Charlie Sheen, Sean Penn and Elvis Costello.

"MARKLAR!"
Alien, Escape from New York and Repo Man: the three "must-see" Harry Dean movies!
RIP. You will be missed.
"Twin Peaks", "Green Mile", "Alien", "Paris, Texas"... An underestimated actor, who did more with less, and his roles were always fascinating and multidimensional.
RIP
Well we will all join him sooner or later.
RIP Repoed Into Peace
