Easy Ride Into Advertising: Dennis Hopper is going commercial. After spending most of his Hollywood career as a rebel, Hopper has signed with a Los Angeles production company to direct television commercials. “I think that in a lot of aspects it’s a more creative way of expressing yourself,” Hopper told Advertising Age magazine. On Friday, Hopper will give the closing speech at Advertising Age’s four-day marketing forum in Chicago.
