Harry Dean Stanton, whose scruffy looks and off-beat demeanor made him a favorite of directors seeking a character actor to add eccentricity or melancholy to the screen, died on Friday from natural causes, his agent said. He was 91.
Stanton, who appeared in some 70 movies and many television shows including "Repo Man," "Paris, Texas" and most recently David Lynch's reboot of television's "Twin Peaks," died peacefully at Cedars Sinai hospital in Los Angeles, his agent John Kelly said in a statement.
Stanton's final on-screen role can be seen in the upcoming film "Lucky."
