Bo Hopkins — famous from „American Graffiti“ and other ’70s cult classic films — has died. His wife, Sian, shared the sad news with THR Saturday. saying BH had passed away a few weeks ago at a hospital in Van Nuys, CA after suffering a heart attack. Hopkins had some legendary roles throughout his 7-decade career. mostly carving out a rep as a supporting actor and a great on-screen villain/scoundrel, especially in ‚AG‘ — where he played Joe, the leader of the Pharaohs‘ greaser gang at the center of the flick.
‚Graffiti‘ certainly helped put Hopkins on the map, but he’d already been making a name for himself in earlier films — including a standout performance in „The Wild Bunch“, where he played one of the zany outlaws looking to pull a big heist.
