Harry Dean Stanton Is 90 years old today!

Holy fuck. I had no idea he was that old.

He's a WWII veteran!

Happy birthday, sir!

I'd always thought he looked so old due to hard living. Come to find out it's long living.

For awhile, and not too long ago, he was in just about every cool movie there was! And I'm sure lots were better just because he was in them.

Well congratulations!

It's an excellent, short-lived TV show from 1958 featuring Charles Bronson as an aggressive New York free-lance photographer. Charlie always finds himself in situations where his scrappy, take-no-guff personality has to assert itself.

In the episode "Six Faces of Satan," Stanton plays a brother out to wrongly avenge his sister's beating. Soon as he came on the screen, I picked him out. He's credited as Dean Stanton.

Recognize this guy?
