Harry Dean Stanton was an actor known for understated performances that conveyed weariness, humour and emotional depth with little overt display. In 1984 he played contrasting leading roles: the withdrawn wanderer Travis in Wim Wenders' Paris, Texas and the streetwise car repossessor Bud in Repo Man.
His long screen career also included David Lynch's Wild at Heart. Near its end, Stanton starred in John Carroll Lynch's Lucky, playing an ageing man confronting mortality in a small desert town. The film gave him a final major leading role.
