Actually, Peter Fonda wasn't a great actor. He was in two decent B movies, Easy Rider and Ullie's gold.
Easy Rider was significant in that it was an cheaply made independent film directed by Dennis Hopper that made a sh-t load of money. Also, that it launched Jack Nicholson's career. The story played on every stereo type, but visually was good, the sound track was great (my fav).
All that said, Peter Fonda who was the son of a Hollywood god had a very privileged youth, but had serious problems, He seemed over the years to turn out all right, God bless him and RIP.
