Well, he did go to rehab...twice. But otherwise I agree with you - I can't feel anything..only it is really sad for his family...

There are some who engage in a lifetime battle with drugs. Some will have no real peace until death. He seems to be one of them. He tried and tried,but nothing helped. Maybe he made it this long because of his children.

I feel very sad about this. Mostly for his kids but also because he seems to have really struggled. Some addicts are just assholes, others seem to mostly suffer.

Ah that's just dreadful news, his poor children. He was so talented, I loved him especially in The Boat That Rocked. Blech.

Same.

But I thought he might have heart problems exacerbated by his weight problems. I remember thinking he looked really unwell in the last pics I saw of him, on a bike riding with his son. I didn't know enough about him to know he had a heroin addiction.

Wow, RIP. What a waste.

Loved this actor. Didn't know about his recovery attempts, he must have been a more reclusive addict. It's too sad and yes, fuck stupid heroin once again.

These headlines always shock me even if they're not totally unexpected. I always feel sad but pissed off at the same time with the drug deaths. Sad waste.

Man this is really sad. He was so talented. Knowing he tried to beat his demons makes it all the sadder that he lost to them. But I'm not shocked, like others have said, he hasn't looked well in his last few appearances. RIP PSH.

Yeah. Guess they were accurate....I'm not surprised by this news really, just very sad. Agree he was one of the nice guys who just can't get free of drugs. Rest in peace, you were an amazing actor and your work will live forever.

FUCK I just saw this, had to read the thread title twice before it sunk in. He was one of my favorite actors. I would watch anything he was in. Damn damn damn. And what a fucking undignified way to die. Damn!
