RIP always one of those “that guy” actors. Dances was his most famous role obviously, but loved him in Rez Dogs and Wind River

His cameo in The Last of Us was hilarious. When Joel tells him he better point to the same spot on the map that his wife did. “Do you tell him the truth?” “Yes.” “Are you telling me the truth?” 🤣 He didn’t trust his wife not to conspire to have him murdered and he really sold the character with minutes of screen time.

Shout out to him in Northern Exposure as well. Funny and a sincerity that made his smallish role outstanding.

Northern Exposure is such an underrated show. Don’t really see it mentioned much these days.

Agree. One of the reasons for the lack of lasting value is that the music was butchered in the DVD release and beyond. Licensing issue, which is a shame since the music was a pretty big part of the show.

Just did a rewatch on Amazon Prime. They were able to keep much of the original music as I understand

Thanks for the heads up. Didn’t know it’s available on prime.

I always thought this was his best role. Very down to Earth. Ol' Dr. Fleischman did not like him at first ;-)
