Only knew him from Alien & Midnight Express, one of which sucked (& Alien is one of my favourite films). And then when he'd pop up as some other character actor in some forgettable film/role.
He had a great face tho. & has his place in the chest bursting scene, one of the iconic moments in film history.

Saw his imdb, it's incredibly long. Says he was in Spaceballs & played himself?  Myb its off or a typo, I don't recall that but it's been a while since I've seen it.

I remember seeing Elephant Man at around 12 or 13 & being pretty creeped out by it. Alien tho seems to be his signature role tho. Ashame, RIP

He played himself from Alien and had another alien burst from his chest... But that one started singing.
