Trivia
Dennis Hopper asked him to shoot Easy Rider (1969). At first Kovacs turned it down, but Hopper was persistent. It was filmed entirely on location, during a 12-week trip from Los Angeles to New Orleans. Later Kovacs said that they knew the film was special, but didn't realize it would win awards and become an influential, iconic movie.Nickname
