What a shock to read. I never knew he was sick, although I did notice some inconsistencies in his acting and appearance in last season's Crash. Strange that in that season, he assisted in the suicide of a good friend suffering from terminal cancer. What a glorious career, though - from Easy Rider to Space Truckers to Crash!! I always enjoyed his work. R.I.P.

The movie "Hoosiers" is on AMC tonight and I think Dennis was at his very best in this one.
Enjoy and remember one talented soul, we will miss. RIP Mr. Hopper. And thanks.
