Always liked Hopper. He'll be missed.

too young to remember Easy Rider, but I liked him as the bad guy in Speed and in the first season of 24 as the bad guy Victor Drazen. Great as the angry, nearly insane bad guy!

I always liked him as the crazy photo-journalist in Apocalypse Now.

RIP Dennis.

That's definately not Hopper.
I believe that is John Facenda.

I stand corrected.
His voice is a dead ringer to John Facenda's.

I knew this was coming. He had a chance to make it to the Hollywood walk of fame to dedicate his start not long ago. He was in very poor health back then.
