Hunter Stockton Thompson (July 18, 1937 – February 20, 2005) was an American journalist and author, most famous for his novel Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. He is credited as the creator of Gonzo journalism, a style of reporting where reporters involve themselves in the action to such a degree that they become central figures of their stories. He is also known for his use of psychedelics, alcohol, firearms, and his iconoclastic contempt for authority. --Wikipedia

Hopefully the movie based on his book 'The Rum Diary' will be filmed soon. Its been talked about for years. It is still planned for Johnny Depp to play the main role last time I checked.
