Sadly Hollywood great Dennis Hopper has lost his fight against prostate cancer.

Probably a much, much longer list of credits than most people realise...

Have enjoyed watching him in the HBO series Crash, a series in which a close associate of his character had to deal with terminal illness, would have been pretty close to home but Hopper is a consumate professional.

If an actor's performance could ever be described as "disturbing", that would be it.

Reakon his best performance was probably in Hoosiers.

Played a drunk, broken down bum (wasn't much of a stretch!)

Scored an Oscar nom for that...
