In Cameron Crowe's 2000 semi-autobiographical picture Almost Famous, several characters within the movie, mainly the band aid Saphire, frequently refer to the protagonist, William, as Opie. (Most memorably exlaiming "Opie must die" when three band aids conspire to volunteer to take William's virginity.) This can be attributed to the real life physical similarity between the character Opie and actor Patrick Fugit.

Famous quotes containing the word famous:
“Up through the lubber crust of Wales
I rocketed to astonish
The flashing needle rock of squatters,
The criers of Shabby and Shorten,
The famous stitch droppers.”

“London, thou art of townes A per se.
Soveraign of cities, semeliest in sight,
Of high renoun, riches, and royaltie;
Of lordis, barons, and many goodly knyght;
Of most delectable lusty ladies bright;
Of famous prelatis in habitis clericall;
Of merchauntis full of substaunce and myght:
London, thou art the flour of Cities all”
—William Dunbar (c. 1465–c. 1530)
