Legendary actor, director, writer most remembered for his role in Easy Rider.
I searched for quite a while before I chose this picture. Dennis Hopper was so much more than Billy, his character in Easy Rider. But in a way this picture sums up his life and career perfectly.
Hopper was a maverick in the truest sense. He went against the grain convinced his way was best and refused to compromise always pushing the envelope. Not always to a successful conclusion. How many people can say they were chased by John Wayne with a loaded gun in real life?

His bio on the news said he was born in Kansas. I thought that was cool cuz I am from Kansas.
[Shhh] Queen, don't tell everyone. All of us cool people are from Kansas. We're going to take over the world.
