And the film "Paris, Texas" by Wim Wenders. Amazing actor.

I cannot think of an actor better suited to portray the crusty old polygamous prophet Grant.

The Big Love producers did a great job of getting the details of Mormon minutiae correct except for one particular moment that caught my attention....

real Mormons never say 'Palmeera'.

My favorite films of his were "Alien," "Escape from New York," and "Christine."
I need to see more films he was in (he was a great actor!).
RIP.

He was so good in Big Love that thinking of him makes my skin crawl. (n/t)

I liked him best as Tramp in "Cool Hand Luke" (1968), even though he was still relatively unknown then and I didn't realize it was him until years later; and as Brett in the original "Alien" (1978).

He has 199 acting credits at IMDB; several of them in 2017. He was working right up to the end.

RIP.
