arly in minor roles as cowboys and soldiers through the late 1950s and early 1960s. His star continued to rise and he received better roles in which he could showcase his laid-back style, such as in La leyenda del indomable (1967), Los violentos de Kelly (1970), Dillinger (1973), El padrino parte II (1974), and in Alien, el octavo pasajero (1979). It was around this time that Stanton came to the attention of director Wim Wenders, who cast him in his finest role yet as Travis in the moving Paris, Texas (1984). Next indie director Alex Cox gave Stanton a role that brought him to the forefront, in the quirky cult film Repo man (El recuperador) (1984).Stanton was now heavily in demand, and his unique look got him cast as everything from a suburban father in the mainstream La chica de rosa (1986) to a soft-hearted, but ill-fated, private investigator in Corazón salvaje (1990) and a crazy yet cunning scientist in 1997: Rescate en Nueva York (1981). Apart from his film performances, he was also an accomplished musician, and "The Harry Dean Stanton Band" and their unique spin on mariachi music played together for well over a decade. They toured internationally. He became a cult figure of cinema and music and when Debbie Harry sang the lyric, "I want to dance with Harry Dean..." in her 1990s hit "I Want That Man", she was talking about him. Stanton remained consistently active on screen, lastly appearing in films including Miedo y asco en Las Vegas (1998), La milla verde (1999) and Vidas furtivas (2000).
