If there's one thing you can count on in a Harry Dean Stanton performance, its that his character will inevitably draw the most interest from the viewer. It takes true talent to become the most fascinating thing on the screen and yet, Stanton does it every time.

I wanna dance with Harry Dean
drive through Texas in a black limousine
I want a piece of heaven before I die
I wanna pair of pink high heels
that catch the lights up on the Ferris wheel

I liked him in Alien for his affinity towards the survivor kitty, as I always am quite partial to the animal defenders in films 
Too bad that those who protect them usually wind up pretty f'ed in the end.

WOW. I forgot about that! He is an acting genius in that scene.
"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert
