Harry Dean Stanton

One of American cinema's most revered character actors, whose hangdog face and laconic presence anchored dozens of films. Harry Dean Stanton was the doomed crewman Brett in 'Alien' (1979) and gave the performance of his life as the mute, wandering Travis in Wim Wenders's 'Paris, Texas' (1984), a rare leading role. He voiced Balthazar in 'Rango' (2011) and worked with Coppola, Lynch and countless others. Born in Kentucky and acting until his death in 2017, he embodied the soulful, worn-down outsider like no one else.
