Actor Dennis Hopper Dies of Prostate Cancer

Actor and Hollywood legend Dennis Hopper passed away on Saturday at the age of 74. He suffered from terminal prostate cancer. Hopper has been largely away from the movie scene in recent years. Most recently he was in the Crash television series.

Many of his most famous roles were in movies from the 1960s to the 1980s, such as Easy Rider and Hoosiers. Perhaps he is best known in the video game community for his contributions to the Super Mario Bros. movie from 1993 as King Koopa (see video below). He was also the voice actor for Steve Scott in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
