Oh, sure - that guy!
I renumber him as a comic foil is a few Clint Eastwood movies. These are the kind of supporting actors that made the best Hollywood movies work! Back then. They were not scene stealers but you definitely knew they were there and took notice.
RIP!
“Juliette” Lewis, of course.
Will never forget him in ‘Salem’s Lot. Totally creepy after he was bitten. RIP, Mr Lewis.

RIP
That’s a pretty illustrious career.
RIP Orville.
He made High Plains Drifter. Great character actor. Harry Dean Stanton is another great character actor.
Had Juliette Lewis. She got mixed up with Oliver Stone. That never ends well.
Great character actor. I had no idea he was Juliette Lewis’ father.
He was great in “High Plains Drifter” .....
I said the same :)
Are they guys comin’ after me?
Those guys are comin’ after me!
I especially enjoyed his role as Gerald McRaney.
I was just shy of 11 years old when that miniseries first aired. My parents let me join them in watching it. I have never been more terrified in my life. I was traumatized for weeks and loved every minute of it!
“Lift the car, Clyde”
Had no idea they were related. Great actor.
Peace and prayers to his family.
