Cancer sucks. Trust me.

RIP to a great actor. Helped a few decent movies become great flicks.

Man, RIP. He was a great actor when he was able to or chose to turn it on. Sift through his credits and there are quite a few iconic movies in there. He caught my attention in Apocalypse Now (I didn't see Easy Rider till much later). And he was fantastic in Blue Velvet.

One of my favourite actors.

I loved him most in Rumble Fish.

And Easy Rider, Apocalypse Now and Blue Velvet.

Another legend passes on.

R.I.P. Mr. Hopper.
I thought his scene in True Romance with Christopher Walken before his character got killed was an absolute CLASSIC!
One of my faves of all time!

He's dead? You know what I think? I think that's a crackpot idea man!!

The guy did his own thing, and he managed to be pretty successful doing it. We should all be so lucky.

Vaya Con Dios Dennis.
