Harry Dean Stanton, the actor with a gaunt, bedraggled look who labored in virtual obscurity for decades until a series of roles increased his visibility, including his breakthrough in Wim Wenders Paris, Texas, died of natural causes Friday in Los Angeles. He was 91.

The actor was also known for his roles in Twin Peaks, Big Love, Pretty in Pink and Repo Man.

He had a high-profile role as manipulative cult leader Roman Grant on HBO polygamy drama Big Love, which ran from 2006-11, and recently appeared as Carl Rodd in the Twin Peaks revival on Showtime.

His most recent film, Lucky, about an atheist who comes to terms with his own mortality, is set to be released by Magnolia on Sept. 29.
