From Moviefone’s “Dennis Hopper’s 10 Best Movie Roles:”
1. ‘Blue Velvet’ (1986)
Frank Booth. Just the name gives you chills. In David Lynch’s nightmarish tale, Hopper’s Booth is a vile, evil creation who snorts up copious amounts of amyl nitrate and has a propensity for violent, ritualistic rape. An indelibly disturbing character, Booth drops F-bombs with nearly every sentence, and serves as an example of the potential depths of man’s depravity. If you have any friends who like to quote this character, run away. Very fast. [my emphasis] It would be the ultimate tribute to Hopper, an actor of singular intensity the likes of whom we may never see again.
wow! That’s a shame–I was not real close to Ron during my time at USC, though I did stay at his house a couple of times (a friend was housesitting). He was part of the old school before the new psuedo-progressive cyborgs of professionalization took over.

Remember when he literally threw a student out of his classroom? Ahh, to be an endowed chair.
