He earned an Oscar nomination for 'Faces,' was Moskowitz to Gena Rowlands' Minnie and appeared in three Wes Anderson movies.
Seymour Cassel, the Oscar-nominated John Cassavetes regular whose wily glint, weathered look and versatile talent made him an admired character actor, has died. He was 84.
Cassel died Sunday in Los Angeles of complications from Alzheimer's disease, his son, Matt, told The Hollywood Reporter.
Cassel also was a favorite of Wes Anderson, who cast the irascible actor in Rushmore (1998), The Royal Tenenbaums (2001) and The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou (2004).

I recognized him right away. I never knew his name.
He gave the stage name to Saul Hudson aka “Slash” a guitarist for Guns & Roses.

I just looked it up, Richard Farnsworth was the sheriff.........

I loved Seymour Cassel in all of those Wes Anderson Films with Bill Murray films! Dusty, Esteban, and Bert Fischer.
Rest in Peace old man! You were great!
