In today’s bit of odd news, legendary Hollywood actor Dennis Hopper was shocked to find out that most of his scenes in Swing Vote had been cut. He players Donald Greenleaf in the comedy, which also stars Kevin Costner and Kelsey Grammer, but insists that some of his best moments were left on the editing room floor.
"I got cut out of that movie. My (character’s) subplot was completely cut,” he said. "There’s a scene we shot where I ditch all my events to go support a young Mexican waitress at the funeral of her grandfather. It was chopped."
Hopper explains that the development of his character was important, but that it is missing probably because “they thought it was too long”.

The only reason I want to see this film is because of Dennis Hopper. Mr. Hopper as president. Yes please! I mean I already have him telling me what to do in my car. I just got his voice from Navtones.com where you can download celebrity voices to your GPS.
I hope Dennis Hopper wins the swing vote and we all get to live in an Easy Rider world!
