Watching Escape from New York on TV and wondering if there's an HDS biography or autobiography out there I might have overlooked. I wish I knew more about him - he's always seemed like such a fascinating guy and I bet there's a million fantastic stories I've never heard.

Paris, TX sucks, was there in December for just a week. Sucked for me, was not in the mood for a small town and it's issues. Maybe later I'll end up there and like it. Rusty's Tacos had really yummy tacos. The Mexican restaurants in town though...meh at best.

He was great in lots of films before that, but he was the ultimate character actor (and went back to that soon enough).
― clemenza, Tuesday, 9 November 2021 02:11 (two years ago) link
He was good in Renaldo and Clara too.
On Twitter last night---don't know if he really said it but it's worth saying:|I'm 87 years old.,. | only eat so I can smoke and stay alive. The only fear |hove is how my consciousness is gonna hang on after my body goes. I justhope there's nothing, like there was before I was born. I'm not really intoReligions, they're all microcosms of the ego. When man began to think he wasa separate person with a separate soul, it created a violent situation...
The void, the concept of nothingness, is terrifying to most people on the planet. And I get anxiety attacks myself. I know the fear of that void. You have to learn to die before you die. You give up, surrender to the void, to nothingness.
Anybody else you interviewed bring these things up? Hang on, I gottatoke this call...Hey, brother..That's great, man. Yeoh I'm bein interviewed...We're talkin’ about nothing..I’ve got him well-steeped in nothing right now.He's stopped askin’ questions.Harry Deon StantonPosted byDiane Doniol-Valcroze@ddoniolvalcrozeWriter/screenwriter.

For the longest time I got him and Dean Stockwell mixed up and was always puzzled that the guy from Quantum Leap was so lauded.

When I saw David Lynch introduce the DC-area premiere of Inland Empire someone asked him what HDS was like and he replied "Harry Dean... is the funniest person I have ever met." He then told a story about going out drinking w/ HDS, Angelo Badalamenti and someone else, and that Harry Dean started telling some story that had them all rolling laughing. "This story kept getting funnier and funnier, and I thought... there's no way this guy can go further with it. BUT HE DID!" He never mentioned what the story was.
― Chris L, Tuesday, 9 November 2021 02:43 (two years ago) link
Yeah, Stockwell played a Blue Velvet-y creep on the Battlestar Galacta too, and he's good--much younger, with shoulder-length hair, yet kinda--cleancut---compared to Bruce Dern and Jack Nicholson, whom he's understandably overshadowed by, in Psych-Out:

is this the dean stockwell RIP thread now?
Stockwell was a longtime friend of musician Neil Young, and the pair co-wrote and co-directed the little-seen 1982 film “Human Highway.” Long an artist, Stockwell designed the cover art for Young’s album “American Stars ‘N Bars.”
i did not know that!

maybe neil young didn't know that "stars and bars" has long been a name for the confederate flag, just like "stars and stripes" is for the US flag. but he probably did.

Brother Bud’s philosophy is, “Everybody ought to believe in something. I believe I’ll have another drink.” Sounds a lot like the guy holding court at Dan Tana’s twenty-five years later, who was fond of saying, “We’re all gonna live forever. But I’m gonna outlive all you motherfuckers.”
