I think of Blood Simple (1984) when I think of him. Usually think of him talking to the teenage girl outside his VW Beetle.
Then telling Marty,"She saw me rollin' a cigarette and thought it was marijuana. Thought I was a swinger, I guess."

One of the greatest character actors ever. Blood Simple was a great major role for him but his side characters were so memorable.

So we were doin' paramedical work in affiliation with the state highway system - not actual practice, you understand. And me and Bill were patrolling down Nine Miles.
Bill Roberts?
No, not that mother-scratcher! Bill Parker! Anyway, we're approaching the wreck. And there's this spherical object a-restin' in the highway. And it's not a piece of the car.
