Sad to see him go.  As to Easy Rider (an all time favorite!) don't forget Dennis Hopper who costarred, cowrote, and directed.  And whom we lost way too soon also, what 10 years or so ago?

And yet, Jack Nicholson, the third leg of the film, is still roaring along, with no indication of slowing down.  He must drink from the same fountain as Keith Richards.

Big impact in 69. Seeing it again 50 years later, I had more empathy for the guy in the truck.

Although he's going strong physically at 79, he' basically retired. He  hasn't made a movie since "How Do You Know" in 2010 ... big flop.

My favorite line was from “Wild Hogs” - “Ride your own ride.”

While “Easy Rider” was iconic, I think his best performance was “Ule’s Gold“

I hoist my glass to Peter & freedom!

Gonna have to watch Ulee's Gold for the umpteenth time. Great subtle performance and oddly, sort of a wonderful family movie. Well at least modern family movie.
