Very sad news. He was an amazing actor. Thought he would have had a lot more great roles left.

LOL

He has a really fun slip on a wax floor earlier in that movie. That's Along Came Polly I believe.

This man was a master at his craft. Very few actors impress me. Capote was a superior film that i highly suggest. Also, a very bizarre yet excellent film called, " Happiness" he played a perv. That whole film is excellent, yet icky.

Yep, heroin gets another. His sons pain was so evident on aYouTube vid of the funeral. I have a kid. I cant imagine my stupidity of leaving him behind cuz i get high.

You mentioning Happiness made me think of another movie of his called, Love, Liza. He plays a writer(I think he was a writer) whose wife commits suicide without explanation. The way he copes with her death is by not coping with it. He attempts to destroy his brain by habitually huffing gas.
It was a uneven film but his performance was spot on. That vacant, odd look that huffers take on. I'm not gonna pontificate on how it may have tied into his real life need to escape or any shit like that. I just had thought of the movie.
