Dennis Hopper (RIP) Nike Ads

Dennis Hopper (RIP) Nike Ads

Hopper was a legend and he was a major character actor. I'm not going to get into his career because other bloggers have covered it rather successfully. While thinking about his career, I remember all those really cool Nike commercials with Hopper acting like a crazy fan talking about sports people.

Hopper's character would stroll around in a baseball hat, long coat and backpack. His character was supposed to be a crazed fan, but I think Hopper's performance was probably closer to many of the crazy sports fans of today. Looking around the Web, it looks like Hopper's character was names Stanley the Referee.

Dennis Hopper Horse Shoes & Hand Grenades Nike Commercial: He sneaks into a sport media room and starts shouting “Horse Shoes and Grenades, man!”

Junior Seau's Footprint Man: Junior Seau actually shows up in the ad and messes up the sand castle.
