I'm sorry but he had a partner and kids that were his responsibility and he chose drugs over that apparently more than once. I get that addiction is a powerful thing to kick, especially heroin, but Hollywood tends to glamorize these people while forgetting that they chose this path. I've dealt with addiction more than once in my family and I'm frankly tired of the excuses. I hope you never have to deal with drug dealers threatening your family because your father couldn't pay the bill and I hope you never have the FBI kick down your door because your father robbed banks to pay that bill.talltex wrote:He was good in every role I saw him in. I think it's a shame that it happened, but he's certainly not the first performer is's happened to. Your statement seems a little harsh to me though. I hope you never have to deal with a family member or close friend in that situation...it can be heartbreaking when it happens.CoffeeNut wrote:He was great in Charlie Wilson's War and Capote but I won't shed a tear for a drug addict.
It appears my opinion is not a popular one so I'll bow out now.
