Stanton was a great character-actor, he will be missed.

The monologue "I knew these people" in "Paris, Texas" is so haunting and lonely.

And the way he spoke to Jesus, insisting that it doesn't matter that Jesus chose wrongly, because he believed in the Christ who is risen.

And who can forget his small, but soulful part in Red Dawn, "Boys!.....avenge me! Avenge me!"

Great actor. RIP

And Sam Shepard, who wrote "Paris, Texas", passed a little over a month ago. I hope they are putting on one heck of a show in heaven.

I recall a funny line he spoke in the TV show 2 1/2 Men when asked how he felt. "Like boiled crap". I stole it and used that line myself several times since. What a great actor, may he REST IN PEACE.

RIP, Maestro. Any man who can share a screen with Adrienne Barbeau's...with Adrienne Barbeau and still get my attention had to be pretty dang good.

HDS was one of the good ones.

His performance of "Just a Closer Walk With Thee" in Cool Hand Luke is my all time favorite of a wonderful song.

He made me laugh a little too hard with his janitor role in The Green Mile.

Two of my favorites of his were the part in Red Dawn and as the diesel mechanic in Down Periscope.

I always liked his dirt poor bad boy parts he played on Gunsmoke. There's one with him and Claude Aikens abusing a girl named Belle in her shack. They abuse Matt Dillon for a little while too.
