He had supporting roles in three more Cassavetes films: Minnie and Moskowitz, The Killing of a Chinese Bookie and Opening Night. Having also appeared in major Hollywood productions such as Dick Tracy and Indecent Proposal, Cassel has always been very supportive of the American independent film community, especially in the wake of Cassavettes' death.
