He was an addict in his younger days, lived sober for a long period of time, then backslid a year ago. It happens to addicts. Anyone who knows an addict knows backsliding is a possibility at any time.
didn't know he was an addict. obviously one of the best actors of my generation; I'll greatly miss his performances and feel sorry for those around him.

like prior he was typecast as the nervous losery character but in the last 6-10 years he had developed his own style of leading man, always watchable, always commanding your attention. this is a tough one i feel like this must have been how people felt when cazale passed. RIP
I was in the checkout line at the grocery store checking twitter and saw the news. Hoped it was a hoax, but when I saw it wasn't I could barely concentrate and had to fight back the tears as I checked out. I think this might be the first time a celeb death really hit me like that.

You saw it with The Master. He was gearing up for that run as an actor where instead of the friend, he was a father - an older brother in a sibling movie (which don't get made enough.)
tis a small role and a blip on his entire stellar career, but it happened to take place in my fav film of all-times...n he kinda almost stole the film away from the leads lol.
butye, addiction's a bitch. whether it's a high profile person or a family member, ppl goin out like this is always tragic.
