Can anyone find a still of his reported uncredited appearance in Hitchcock's The Wrong Man? I've had a quick GIS but no luck.

Also in "Four O' Clock" according to this: https://thehitchcockreport.wordpress.com/2011/02/23/alfred-hitchcocks-two-tv-rarities/
"(As a side note, one of the thieves in Paul’s house is played by a young Harry Dean Stanton.)"

he opens the door and HDS is there (he's always looked old, apparently) :-)
The Wrong Man: don't know, the only cop who kinda maybe looks like him is the one on the right here IMO, but he's not on screen more than half a second & not very clearly:

My recollection is that when you watch the film, HDS is as recognizable as Ted Knight in Psycho.

he's great in a small part as a racist, smug police detective in Farewell, My Lovely, sassing Mitchum as John Ireland's sidekick.

Mr. Stanton’s onetime roommate Jack Nicholson.
This possibly explains something I'd always thought was cool, which was HDS's name appearing as graffiti both in the jail cell in Easy Rider and on a site in Drive, He Said.

I only just barely skim any writing on a film I haven't yet seen--reviews, ILX--so I actually went to Lucky thinking I was going to see a documentary. Two minutes in I thought "This is really going to be conceptual," then another two minutes and it was "Um, this is not a documentary." I spent the next 10 minutes being mad at the film, because obviously it was the film's fault, not mine, but I slowly warmed to it after that. John Carroll Lynch seems to have been aiming for that short list of famous films about getting old--Tokyo Story, Umberto D, etc.--and I'm sure many people will be very affected by it. It has its moments, but I doubt I'll be thinking about it years later like I do The Straight Story (also with Harry Dean; its director has a good part in Lucky). Wouldn't be surprised if Tom Skerritt turns up all over year-end lists of supporting performances for his one scene.

I must have seen it on a rental shelf at some point and got them confused. Partly Fiction's playing somewhere here tomorrow night, but I've got to choose between it and a Richard Avedon documentary in the morning--can't drive downtown twice.

Just rewatched Alien and decided to google Harry Dean Stanton because I knew I recognized him from 'Wild At Heart' and something else and WTF. He was in so much. Seriously crazy this guy's career. I saw there's a doc about him, I think I need to watch it.

i've only seen a fraction of the things he's been in, but wasn't he in Bonanza and stuff like that early on? so fucking cool

i saw the last film he was in, Lucky, when it was in theaters. as mesmerizing as ever. i enjoy watching him just be himself. he was a fucking legend imo

His first IMDB credit is 1954--and he was already 28. I think Paris, Texas was something of a breakthrough in terms of name recognition, after which he was everywhere for the next few years. (He was everywhere in the '70s, too, but he was just "that guy.")
― clemenza, Tuesday, 9 November 2021 01:53 (two years ago) link
Or maybe Repo Man was the breakthrough the year before.

what's awesome about that SNL Replacements clip is that it was the legendary performance that got them banned from SNL (and effectively, tv) for years afterward, and HDS was drinking with them backstage beforehand, according to the Trouble Boys bio
― just staying (Karl Malone), Tuesday, 9 November 2021 02:02 (two years ago) link
to me, HDS is a legend because there's just no way you're at the right place at the right time doing things exactly the right way that many times in a row

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.

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:
