One of my all-time favorite actors.

My favorite actor of all time. Bummer.

I'm going to toast him with his favorite beer from "Blue Velvet" -- PABST! BLUE! RIBBON! -- at my earliest opportunity.

So many memorable quotes in that movie, all from him.

He was an awesome actor.

Do you know what the man is saying? Do you? This is dialectics. It’s very simple dialectics. One through nine, no maybes, no supposes, no fractions. You can’t travel in space, you can’t go out into space, you know, without, like, you know, with fractions. What are you going to land on, one quarter, three-eighths, what are you going to do when you go from here to Venus or something — that’s dialectic physics, OK? Dialectic logic is there’s only love and hate, you either love somebody or you hate them

No doubt. I'm going to knock back some PBR tall boys in his honor today.

Ben: "Here's to your health, Frank."

Frank (Hopper): "Ah, sh*t. Let's drink to something else. Let's drink to f*ckin'."

Ben: "If you'd like. Here's to your f*ck, Frank."

Sad to see Dennis gone...loved him in Hoosiers as well as the original Speed among other movies.

So that is 2 down in two days...these things usually come in threes, so who's next?

R.I.P 'Easy Rider', I really enjoyed his films, he was great being a villain too.

He's had a lot of great roles but one of his best accomplishments was as a director when he got 19-year old Jennifer Connelly to do nude scenes in The Hot Spot.
