Never forget him from Easy Rider, Apocalypse Now and as Frank "The Crank" Booth in Blue Velvet

RIP Dennis Hopper

He was wonderfully evil in Paris Trout, which is a film not too many are keen on.

RIP Mr H

What a shame, he was an excellant actor!

A real star and superb at playing off the wall roles.

Was he the guy pursued by the mad trucker in duel?

That was Dennis Weaver he was in MCCloudnumber 6 wrote:

Blue Velvet was cited as one "ill movie" (rap vernacular for dark and interesting) by Ice T at a concert..along with Se7en

That gas mask, the rapes and propensity for sudden violence and equally sudden calmness to the dark and jazz music still resonates with me today

Especially when you consider he got the part by telling David Lynch..."I am Frank Booth"

One of the darkest characters Ive ever seen on the big screen. Ever!

After "Easy Rider" he had a lot of leading parts but I always enjoyed his small roles in westerns like "True Grit". He was a strange link between the Golden Age of Hollywood and the present.

Yes Dennis Hopper in Blue Velvet was the most memorable psychotic i have ever seen in a film, he was a brilliant actor & its a sad loss to his family & the film industry.
