Dennis Hopper To Play 'Phil Spector-Type' Music Producer In TV Series

Actor Dennis Hopper is to play a Phil Spector inspired music producer in an upcoming episode of the US TV show Crash.

Speaking about his role, Hopper, who has appeared in such films as Speed and Easy Rider, said his character is “totally out of his mind”.

"It's really amazing because we don't have any restrictions, like language problems or sexual problems; we can do anything we want and we're really out there,” he said.

"In my episode we had an orgy. I'm doing drugs all the time. I'm smoking grass. I'm having orgies. Hey it's music, it's rock 'n' roll baby. It's gonna be an eye opener."

It's not yet known when Hopper's appearance in the programme, which is based on the film of the same name, will air.
