A weird guy and a great actor. His roles in Easy Rider, Blue Velvet and True Romance were amazing. But his greatest performance, for me, was in the Francis Ford Coppola classic, Apocalypse Now.
Here's a classic scene.
One story I liked was when, some years after Easy Rider, Hopper met Jack Nicholson and after raving about Nicholson's work, Hopper said, "We should do something together."
And Nicholson said, "Um, we did Easy Rider together."
Oh, yeah, that, Hopper said. He apparently didn't remember much of it.
