Dennis Hopper – Crash
Although Dennis Hopper is famous today as an effective villain in the films Super Mario Bros., Speed, and Waterworld, the actor did not start his career doing grey characters. The spotlight may have been on James Dean in the movie Rebel Without a Cause and Giant, but Hopper starred in those movies, as well. He is also an award-winning filmmaker, receiving the Best First Work Award at the Cannes Film Festival, for the film Easy Rider. Incidentally, he also co-wrote the film with Peter Fonda, and both of them were nominated for Best Original Screenplay at the Oscars. Hopper was last seen in the television series Crash, where he starred as record producer Ben Cendars. Hopper’s weight loss because of a terminal disease was obvious in the series; he reportedly weighed only 45 kilos at the time of his death in 2010.
