Jeez, right after Gary Coleman.

You get so used to hearing these names in the media all the time, it's weird once they're gone.

[Abadoss]

;_;... Despite the Mario movie, he was a good actor. Sad to see him go.

[Level 99]

I loved the Mario movie.

It's good to know that King Koopa from the movie can now face Live-Action Mario from the TV show in that big ol' Star Road in the sky. continuity and canon be damned

Missing ya, Mr. Hopper.

Jeez, right after Gary Coleman.

Last year they called it The Summer of Death.

Is this the rushed-out sequel?

I was pretty much thinking the same thing.

It's the "curse of threes." Just wait for the next one.

RIP, Mr. Hopper.

Best/weirdest role = Blue Velvet

Pop quiz, hotshot.

RIP, Mr. Hopper.

So we're not counting Dio? I think we've hit three already.

That one probably took a couple years off his life expectancy.

He's right. Dio did die aswell.

[The Coop]

He's right. Dio did die aswell.

Dio was part of the previous trio. This trio was Art Linkletter, Gary Coleman and Dennis Hopper.

However, this one is the worst of this trio, as Dennis Hopper was just so out there at times, it was hard not to find him enjoyable to watch. He always gave his characters this slightly off-kilter touch, making even a potentially boring character notable in some quirky way.

He was a bit strange and a pain in the butt to some in Hollywood, but he was a great actor and an interesting personality. There aren't many like him, and now, there's one less unfortunately.

RIP Dennis Hopper, and thanks for all the great movie memories.

"Suave! Goddamn you're one suave fucker! "

Best/weirdest role = Blue Velvet

Hopper's role in that was fantastic. I love David Lynch's quirky dialogue in that movie.

Rest in peace, Mr. Hopper. You were a legend.

[Mirby]

Tragic news to be sure. But at least this trio is over; we should have some time before the next one starts.

[Crulex]

RIP Dennis Hopper.

Man, between Mario, Blue Velvet and Speed, this guy was a legend and will be missed.

[Guest jaydeee]

he is dead but his contribution will surely live long if not forever.

You know, when I mentioned in the Coleman thread that I hoped this wasn't the start of another summer of dead celebrities, I didn't think Murphy would answer so quickly.

Farewell you King of Dinosaurs, Lord of the Seas, Tycoon of the Dead...
