Just saw this on CNN, ''breaking news''.

Bummer, he was way cool.......but lived a long and eventful life, that's for sure!!

I liked Waterworld!! Speed wasn't half bad either.....

But in my mind he was at his best in Apocalypse Now and Blue Velvet

I love PABST!!! Had a Louisiana girlfriend once I nicknamed Pabst. She was terrific but when I turned her upside down she lost her temper and blew her top.

What a loss, he was great in so many movies, but Apocalypse Now will always be my favorite.
Guess I won't get my Dennis Hopper, Gary Coleman buddy cop movie made now.
