LOS ANGELES - Harry Dean Stanton, an instantly recognizable character actor whose career spanned seven decades, died of natural causes in Los Angeles Friday. He was 91.

Most recently, fans enjoyed Stanton as he reprised his role as Carl Rodd, the kindly trailer park manager, who returned to the new Twin Peaks. But that was just one on a huge list of roles fans will remember the actor for.

Science fiction fans probably remember him best as Brett, the cat-loving Nostromo crew member in the original Alien. But again, that’s just one of many memorable turns in the career of this living legend.

Gunsmoke, Rawhide, Escape from New York, Christine, Repo Man, Red Dawn, Paris Texas, Wild at Heart, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Big Love, the list goes on and on.

Stanton’s unmistakable face and incredible range meant he could do anything in front of a camera, Gizmodo reported.
