Dennis Hopper, best known for playing crazy roles in films such as Speed, died on Saturday from complications of his battle with prostate cancer. He died at his Venice, Calif., home surrounded by family and friends.
Hopper was diagnosed with prostate cancer last fall after reporting flu-like symptoms and underwent treatment. He spent most of 2010 in a heated divorce battle with his wife, Victoria.
He was 74.
