crocodile 8,606 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 So tragic. He was a really great actor, one of the best around.Loved his performances in so many films... Magnolia, Boogie Nights, Capote, The Master, even Mission: Impossible 3.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK 3,308 Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 He was bloody brilliant in almost everything he did. Few actors were so versatile. I was looking forward to his next film too (I'm not sure if he was signed onto PTA's next project) and then this happens...This really bums me out.

Trent B 340 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I only saw him in Twister, never saw any of his other movies (or shows).

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,445 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Old age will cause the body to eventually malfunction, which causes diseases or complications that lead to death, so it is a huge factor, but never the direct cause.

The Train Station 8,867 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 If drugs help "unleash creative power" then they are no different to performance enhancing drugs in sports.

Some people overcome it, some don't, and some don't overcome it even when they get help and do the right things. Addiction is nothing to be ashamed of... it happens.
