Hollywood veteran Dennis Hopper is furious after discovering some of his character's vital scenes in new film Swing Vote were left on the cutting room floor.
The Easy Rider star plays a Democratic presidential candidate in the Kevin Costner comedy about an Everyman who discovers his vote will determine who will be America's next President.
However, Hopper was stunned when he saw that most of his scenes were excised. "I got cut out of that movie. My [character's] subplot was completely cut. 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.
"It was important to the development of my character, and it's missing. It's probably because they thought it was too long, but when I saw the final cut, I thought, 'I'm not even in this movie!'"
