Upon his return to New York, Fonda joined the Cecilwood Theatre in 1960.<ref>{{cite news |title=Biltmore is Sold; Plays to Return: $850,000 Paid for Theatre Used for TV&nbsp;— Director of Fetti Drama Quits |first=Sam |last=Zolotow |newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |date=August 10, 1960 |page=26}}</ref> Afterwards, he found work on [[Broadway theatre|Broadway]] and gained notice in ''[[Blood, Sweat and Stanley Poole]]'', written by [[James Goldman|James]] and [[William Goldman]], which ran for 84 performances in 1961. Fonda began guest starring on television shows like ''[[Naked City (TV series)|Naked City]]'', ''[[The New Breed (TV series)|The New Breed]]'', ''[[Wagon Train]]'', and ''[[The Defenders (1961 TV series)|The Defenders]]''.

Fonda's first film came when producer [[Ross Hunter]] was looking for a new male actor to romance [[Sandra Dee]] in ''[[Tammy and the Doctor]]'' (1963). He was cast in the role, in what was a minor hit.<ref>{{cite news |title=Looking at Hollywood: Ross Hunter Gives New Actors Chance |first=Hedda |last=Hopper |newspaper=[[Chicago Tribune|Chicago Daily Tribune]] |date=June 26, 1962 |page=A1}}</ref> He followed this with a support part in ''[[The Victors (1963 film)|The Victors]]'' (1963), a bleak look at American soldiers in World War II, directed by [[Carl Foreman]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Foreman View Of War: Writer-Producer Turns To Directing In European-Made 'The Victors' In Retrospect Appraisal |first=Stephen |last=Watts |newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |date=October 14, 1962 |page=131}}</ref> Fonda's performance won him a Golden Globe Award for most promising newcomer.

Fonda continued to work in television, guest starring in ''[[Channing (TV series)|Channing]]'', ''[[Arrest and Trial]]'', ''[[List of Alfred Hitchcock Presents episodes|The Alfred Hitchcock Hour]]'', and ''[[Twelve O'Clock High (TV series)|12 O'Clock High]]''. He also tested for the role of [[John F. Kennedy]] in ''PT-109''.<ref>{{cite news |title=Cliff Robertson Gropes for JFK Image: Hollywood Letter Paving the Way Research Made |first=John C. |last=Waugh |work=[[The Christian Science Monitor]] |date=January 9, 1963 |page=14}}</ref> Fonda impressed [[Robert Rossen]] who cast him in what would be Rossen's last movie, ''[[Lilith (film)|Lilith]]'' (1964), alongside [[Warren Beatty]], [[Jean Seberg]] and [[Gene Hackman]]. Fonda's performance was well reviewed. Shortly before dying, Rossen signed him to a seven-film contract which was to start with an adaptation of ''[[Bang the Drum Slowly]]''.<ref>{{cite news |title=Filmland Events: Peter Fonda Signs for 7 Films |newspaper=[[Los Angeles Times]] |date=August 17, 1963 |page=B6}}</ref> Fonda graduated to a starring role in ''[[The Young Lovers (1964 film)|The Young Lovers]]'' (1964), about out-of-wedlock pregnancy, the sole directorial effort of [[Samuel Goldwyn Jr.]]

=== Counterculture figure and Roger Corman ===
[[File:Peter Fonda 1962. Promo Photo (Tammy and the Doctor) (no borders).jpg|thumb|upright=0.8|Fonda in a 1962 promo photo]]
By the mid-1960s, Fonda was not a conventional "leading man" in Hollywood. As ''[[Playboy]]'' magazine reported, Fonda had established a "solid reputation as a dropout". He had become outwardly nonconformist and grew his hair long and took LSD regularly, alienating the "establishment" film industry. Desirable acting work became scarce.<ref>{{cite news |title=Peter Fonda Not Really a Hippie
|last=Constantine |first=Peggy |newspaper=[[Los Angeles Times]] |date=September 19, 1967 |page=D13}}</ref> Through his friendships with members of the band [[The Byrds]], Fonda visited [[The Beatles]] in their rented house in [[Benedict Canyon, Los Angeles|Benedict Canyon]] in Los Angeles in August 1965. While [[John Lennon]], [[Ringo Starr]], [[George Harrison]], and Fonda were under the influence of [[Lysergic acid diethylamide|LSD]], Lennon heard Fonda say, "I know what it's like to be dead." Lennon used the phrase in the lyrics for his song, "[[She Said She Said]]", which was included on their 1966 album, ''[[Revolver (Beatles album)|Revolver]]''.<ref name="Love You Make" />

In August 1966 Fonda was charged with possession of marijuana,<ref>{{cite news | title=Peter Fonda Faces Trial On Marijuana Charges| work=[[The New York Times]] | date=August 23, 1966 | url=https://www.nytimes.com/1966/08/23/archives/peter-fonda-faces-trial-on-marijuana-charges.html| access-date=February 25, 2023| page=33}}</ref> and was later acquitted in December of that year.<ref>{{cite news | title=Peter Fonda Freed In Marijuana Case| work=[[The New York Times]] | date=December 28, 1966 | url=https://www.nytimes.com/1966/12/28/archives/peter-fonda-freed-in-marijuana-case.html| access-date=February 25, 2023| page=34}}</ref> In November 1966 Fonda was arrested in the [[Sunset Strip curfew riots|Sunset Strip riot]], which the police ended forcefully. The band [[Buffalo Springfield]] protested the department's handling of the incident in their song "[[For What It's Worth]]". In 1967, Fonda recorded "November Night", a [[Single (music)|45-rpm single]] written by [[Gram Parsons]] for the Chisa label, backed with "[[Catch the Wind]]" by [[Donovan]], produced by [[Hugh Masekela]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.dougpayne.com/chisad.htm|title=Chisa Records: A Discography|work=Dougpayne.com|access-date=July 17, 2011}}</ref>

Fonda's first counterculture-oriented film role was as a biker in [[Roger Corman]]'s [[B movie]] ''[[The Wild Angels]]'' (1966). Fonda originally was to support [[George Chakiris]], but graduated to the lead when Chakiris revealed he could not ride a motorcycle. In the film, Fonda delivered a "eulogy" at a fallen Angel's funeral service. The movie was a big hit at the box office, screened at the [[Venice Film Festival]], launched the biker movie genre, and established Peter Fonda as a movie name. Fonda made a television pilot, ''High Noon: The Clock Strikes Noon Again'', filmed in December 1965. It was based on the film ''[[High Noon]]'' (1952), starring [[Gary Cooper]], with Fonda in the Cooper role. It did not become a series.<ref>{{cite news |title=Mary Martin's 'Dolly' Draws Royalty |newspaper=[[Los Angeles Times]] |date=December 20, 1965 |page=C20}}</ref>

Fonda next played the male lead in Corman's film ''[[The Trip (1967 film)|The Trip]]'' (1967), a take on the experience and "consequences" of consuming LSD, which was written by [[Jack Nicholson]]. His co-stars included [[Susan Strasberg]], [[Bruce Dern]], and [[Dennis Hopper]]. The movie was a hit.<ref>{{cite news |title=Peter Fonda: Was This Trip Necessary? |first=Cecelia |last=Ager |newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |date=August 20, 1967 |page=D11}}</ref> Fonda then traveled to France to appear in the [[portmanteau film|portmanteau]] horror movie ''[[Spirits of the Dead]]'' (1968). His segment co-starred his sister Jane and was directed by her then-husband [[Roger Vadim]]. For American television, he appeared in a movie, ''[[Certain Honorable Men (film)|Certain Honorable Men]]'' (1968), alongside [[Van Heflin]], written by [[Rod Serling]].<ref>{{cite news |title=For Peter Fonda, It's All Now |first=Lee |last=Israel |newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |date=September 8, 1968 |page=D29}}</ref>

=== ''Easy Rider'' ===
[[File:ZweiRadMuseumNSU EasyRider.JPG|thumb|upright=0.8|Replica of the "[[Easy Rider#Motorcycles|Captain America]]" [[Harley-Davidson]] [[Chopper (motorcycle)|chopper]] that Fonda rode in ''Easy Rider'' (1969), on display in a German museum.<ref name="zweird">{{Cite web|url=http://www.zweirad-museum.de|title=Startseite|work=Zweirad.de|access-date=October 27, 2007}}</ref>]]
Fonda produced, co-wrote and starred in ''[[Easy Rider]]'' (1969), directed by [[Dennis Hopper]]. ''Easy Rider'' is about two long-haired bikers traveling through the [[Southwestern United States|southwestern]] and southern United States where they encounter intolerance and violence. Fonda played "Wyatt",<ref>{{Cite news|last=Bramesco|first=Charles|url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/2019/jul/15/easy-rider-at-50-how-the-rebellious-road-movie-shook-up-the-system|title=Easy Rider at 50: how the rebellious road movie shook up the system|date=July 15, 2019|work=The Guardian|access-date=April 11, 2020|language=en-GB|issn=0261-3077}}</ref> a charismatic, laconic man whose motorcycle jacket bore a large [[Flag of the United States|American flag]] across the back. [[Dennis Hopper]] played the garrulous "Billy". [[Jack Nicholson]] played George Hanson, an alcoholic [[Civil and political rights|civil rights]] lawyer who rides along with them. Fonda co-wrote the screenplay with [[Terry Southern]] and Hopper.

Fonda tried to secure financing from Roger Corman and [[American International Pictures]] (AIP), with whom he had made ''The Wild Angels'' and ''The Trip'', but they were reluctant to finance a film directed by Hopper. They succeeded in getting money from [[Columbia Pictures]]. Hopper filmed the cross-country road trip depicted almost entirely on location. Fonda had secured funding of around $360,000, largely based on the fact he knew that it was the budget [[Roger Corman]] needed to make ''[[The Wild Angels]]''.<ref>Peter Fonda interview, "Easy Rider: Shaking the Cage" (1999), documentary on ''Easy Rider'' DVD</ref> The guitarist and composer [[Robbie Robertson]], of [[The Band]], was so moved by an advance screening that he approached Fonda and tried to convince him to let him write a complete score, even though the film was nearly due for wide release. Fonda declined the offer, instead using [[Steppenwolf (band)|Steppenwolf]]'s "[[Born to Be Wild]]", [[Bob Dylan]]'s "[[It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)]]" sung by [[The Byrds]]' [[Roger McGuinn]], and Robertson's own composition "[[The Weight]]", performed by [[The Band]], among many other tracks.

The film was released to international success. Jack Nicholson was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar. Fonda, Hopper and Southern were nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. The film grossed over $40 million.{{Citation needed|date=August 2022}}

=== Director and action star===
After the success of ''Easy Rider'', both Hopper and Fonda were sought for film projects. Hopper directed the film ''[[The Last Movie]]'' (1971), in which Fonda co-starred along with singer [[Michelle Phillips]] of [[The Mamas and the Papas]].<ref>{{cite news |title=What Peter Fonda Means to Say&nbsp;... |first=Helen |last=Dorsey |newspaper=[[The Washington Post]] |date=August 29, 1971 |page=G1}}</ref> Fonda directed and starred in the [[Western (genre)|Western]] film ''[[The Hired Hand]]'' (1971). He took the lead role in a cast that also featured [[Warren Oates]], [[Verna Bloom]] and [[Beat Generation]] poet [[Michael McClure]]. The film received mixed reviews and failed commercially upon its initial release, but many years later, in 2001, a fully restored version was shown at various film festivals and was re-released by the [[Sundance TV|Sundance Channel]] on DVD that same year in two separate editions. Fonda later directed the science fiction film ''[[Idaho Transfer]]'' (1973). He did not appear in the film, and the film received mixed reviews upon its limited release. Around the same time, he co-starred with [[Lindsay Wagner]] in ''[[Two People (1973 film)|Two People]]'' (also 1973) for director [[Robert Wise]], in which he portrayed a [[Vietnam War]] deserter.

Fonda starred alongside [[Susan George (actress)|Susan George]] and longtime-friend (and frequent co-star) [[Adam Roarke]] in the film ''[[Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry]]'' (1974), a film about two [[NASCAR]] hopefuls who execute a supermarket heist to finance their jump into big-time auto racing. The film was a box-office hit that year. It led to Fonda's making a series of action movies: ''[[Open Season (1974 film)|Open Season]]'' (1974), with [[William Holden]]; ''[[Race with the Devil]]'' (1975), fleeing devil worshippers with Warren Oates (another hit);<ref>{{cite news |title=All-time Film Rental Champs |newspaper=Variety |date=January 7, 1976 |page=46}}</ref> ''[[92 in the Shade]]'' (1975), again with Oates, for writer-director [[Thomas McGuane]]; ''[[Killer Force]]'' (1976) for director [[Val Guest]]; ''[[Futureworld]]'' (1976), a sequel to ''[[Westworld (film)|Westworld]]'' (1973), financed by AIP;<ref>{{cite news |title=Movies: Aubrey--Auguring Well Into the Future |last=Millar |first=Jeff |newspaper=Los Angeles Times |date=May 9, 1976 |page=S34}}</ref> ''[[Fighting Mad (1976 film)|Fighting Mad]]'' (1976), a reuniting with Roger Corman, directed by [[Jonathan Demme]].<ref name="New World">{{cite book |first=Christopher T. |last=Koetting |title=Mind Warp!: The Fantastic True Story of Roger Corman's New World Pictures |publisher=Hemlock Books |year=2009 |page=99}}</ref>

''[[Outlaw Blues]]'' (1977) was a drama, with Fonda playing a musician opposite [[Susan Saint James]]. After some more action with ''[[High-Ballin']]'' (1978), Fonda returned to directing, with the controversial drama ''[[Wanda Nevada]]'' (1979), wherein the 39-year-old Fonda starred as the "love" interest of the then 13-year-old [[Brooke Shields]]. His father, [[Henry Fonda]], made a brief appearance as well, and it is the only film in which they performed together.<ref name=PC>{{Cite web|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=886&dat=19790706&id=9qVaAAAAIBAJ&pg=5768,6260547|work=[[The Daily Courier (Arizona)|The Prescott Courier]]|first=Bob|last=Thomas|date=July 6, 1979|title='Wanda Nevada:' Henry Fonda makes a guest appearance in Peter's film}}</ref>

=== 1980s and 1990s===
Fonda was top billed in ''[[The Hostage Tower]]'' (1980), a television movie based on a story by [[Alistair MacLean]]. Fonda appeared in the hit film ''[[The Cannonball Run]]'' (1981) as the "chief biker", a tongue-in-cheek nod to his earlier motorcycle films. He also played a charismatic cult leader in ''[[Split Image (film)|Split Image]]'' (1982), a film that also starred [[James Woods]], [[Karen Allen]] and [[Brian Dennehy]]. Despite the strong cast and positive reviews, the film failed to find an audience.

Fonda later appeared in a series of films in the 1980s of varying genres&nbsp;— ''[[Daijōbu, My Friend]]'' (1983), shot in Japan; ''[[Dance of the Dwarfs]]'' (1983); ''Peppermint Peace'' (1983), shot in Germany; '' [[Spasms (film)|Spasms]]'' (1983), a Canadian horror film with [[Oliver Reed]]; ''[[A Reason to Live (1985 film)|A Reason to Live]]'' (1985), a TV movie; ''[[Certain Fury]]'' (1985), with [[Tatum O'Neal]]; ''Mercenary Fighters'' (1988); ''Hawken's Breed'' (1988), a Western; ''Sound'' (1988); ''Gli indifferenti'' (1989) with [[Liv Ullmann]]; and ''[[The Rose Garden (film)|The Rose Garden]]'' (1989).<ref>{{cite news |title=Peter Fonda's Cycles of Discontent: Working Through Scars and Struggles |first=Megan |last=Rosenfeld |newspaper=[[The Washington Post]] |date=June 15, 1985 |page=G1}}</ref>

In the early 1990s Fonda also contributed to the script of ''[[Enemy (1990 film)|Enemy]]'' (1990), in which he starred. He had the lead in ''Family Express'' (1991) and ''South Beach'' (1993), but then drifted into supporting roles in many independent films: ''[[Deadfall (1993 film)|Deadfall]]'' (1993), directed by [[Christopher Coppola]]; ''[[Bodies, Rest & Motion]]'' (1993), starring his daughter Bridget; ''[[Molly & Gina]]'' (1994) with [[Frances Fisher]] and [[Natasha Gregson]]; ''[[Love and a .45]]'' (1994) with [[Renée Zellweger]]; ''[[Nadja (film)|Nadja]]'' (1994), produced by [[David Lynch]]. He had a good supporting role in ''[[Escape from L.A.]]'' (1996) from [[John Carpenter]] and was in ''[[Don't Look Back (1996 film)|Don't Look Back]]'' (1996). He also guest starred on ''[[In the Heat of the Night (TV series)|In the Heat of the Night]]''.<ref>{{cite news |title=Easy does it Peter Fonda has known trouble from the day he was born, and it wasn't all to do with having a Hollywood legend for a father |last=Shelley |first=Jim |newspaper=[[The Guardian]] |date=March 21, 1998 |page=T014}}</ref>

After years of films of varying success, Fonda received high-profile critical recognition and universal praise for his performance in ''[[Ulee's Gold]]'' (1997). He portrayed a taciturn North Florida beekeeper and Vietnam veteran who tries to save his son and granddaughter from a life of drug abuse. For his performance, he was nominated for the [[Academy Award for Best Actor]]. He had the lead in ''Painted Hero'' (1997). In 1998, Fonda starred in the TV movie ''[[The Tempest (1998 film)|The Tempest]]'', based in part on [[William Shakespeare]]'s [[The Tempest|play of the same name]]. It was directed by Jack Bender and starred Fonda, [[John Glover (actor)|John Glover]], [[Harold Perrineau]], and [[Katherine Heigl]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.reelz.com/movie/222710/shakespeares-the-tempest|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140102140043/http://www.reelz.com/movie/222710/shakespeares-the-tempest/|url-status=dead|title=''Shakespeare's The Tempest''|archive-date=January 2, 2014|publisher=[[Reelz]]}}</ref>

In a 2007 interview, Fonda said that riding motorcycles helped him to focus, stating,

{{Blockquote | style=font-size:100% |I ride an [[MV Agusta]]. This is an Italian racing motorcycle. It forces focus. You have to be focused and in my life, in this business, focus is hard to find sometimes. So I need to force focus and that's great. The bike takes you on a free road. There's no fences on the roads I ride and I don't ride freeways. That's as much as I can tell you, because there are more lands waiting for this little Christian boy. That's not true. I'm an atheist, but what the heck.<ref name="benfoster">{{Cite web|url=http://movies.about.com/od/310toyuma/a/310yumabf82107_2.htm|title=Ben Foster and Peter Fonda Talk About 3:10 to Yuma |publisher=Movies.about.com |date=2010-06-17 |last=Murray |first=Rebecca |access-date=2011-07-17 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120616080743/http://movies.about.com/od/310toyuma/a/310yumabf82107_2.htm |archive-date=2012-06-16}}</ref>}}
