VIDEO: Dennis Hopper, Crazed Referee
By ArtieFufkin
As we all know by now, one of the great actors of our generation, Dennis Hopper passed away over the weekend due to complications from prostate cancer. He was 74 years old, and Hollywood isn’t likely to see another talent of his kind any time soon.
Best known for his roles in Easy Rider, Blue Velvet, Apocalypse Now, and Hoosiers, Hopper also made his mark on the NFL with a series of Nike Commercials in the mid-90′s, playing the role of the “Crazed Referee”. The Bruce Smith commercial above might be the most iconic of the series, but do you remember this classic with Sterling Sharpe?
“Choo-Choo! Choo-Choo Baby!”
“Marbles is a game”
Hopper was even able to make corporate shilling cool. RIP Dennis.
